The official Matchmaking blog post

The matchmaking is still unable to see that I'm getting destroyed repeatedly in whatever lobby it has been putting me into.  It also repeatedly gives me random teammates worse than me when I am average at best and we get rolled by murder bots repeatedly without matchmaking doing anything about it.

Playing Trios as a premade Duo is still absolutely unplayable if you are just average players.  I still don't freaking understand how they think that using the highest skilled player to pick the lobby is in any way a good thing for most players as well as for long term player retention.  Yes, the Snip3down situation (pro playing with his noob wife) is an extreme case where the pro would just roll through lower level lobbies, but that can't be the norm.  In my experience, I rarely get better players on my squad (I am trash, so it shouldn't be that hard to find better players) and when I do they rarely carry me to a good game let alone a win.

Honestly, Respawn, WTH are you doing over there?

That is because you are not meant to have fun. You are either Type 4 or Type 5 and you are food for the types 1 to 3.

Because EA has not learned that unhappy type 4s and 5s will tell others of that type to not bother. rEAspawn thinks that the almighty streamer and pros are all the advertisement they need.

The game is not for us, my friend.
