@Bulte002Matchmaking exists on a ladder.
It’s entirely possible that the higher skilled players you run into have lost A LOT in the high MMR lobbies (which exist whether you believe so or not. The MAJORITY of players you hate— the higher skilled ones, are indeed playing each other the majority of the time).
My advice is that you exclusively play ranked. But even then you have to come to grips with the idea that better players exist and that you will play them. Your outcomes represent where you are in the skill bell curve.
...Your outcome doesn't represent where you are in the skill bell curve though?
For example:
- when returning from hiatus you'll have ~two "easy" matches, and then it goes "OK BACK TO NORMAL"
- when starting out you get protection lobbies
- ranked is setup to encourage grind in 80% of the playerbase, not to measure skill
- "normal" matchmaking would expose you to the entire playerbase equally (including the really * people)
The fact is nobody would play or watch football if matchmaking put Champions League teams vs your local school.
