Nice little charts you have there. Word "fair" should never be used in describing the current matchmaking system. As a very average skilled player, I'm being put in a team that's players are either afk, lands solo, or does 0-80mg, while I'm up to 500-1000. No matter if I go 20 lose streak in the first 5 mins or not. 10 games a row I'm being killed by 20 kill badge players in the very first fight. It's unplayable.

Exactly. I have the same problem as you.
To clarify, I'll add that I made over 500 kills in 2 days and only had 6 games won.
In one game I had to get 18 kills to win it. I don't have games where someone does a lot of kills. I still have bots on my team where the opponent kills them in a split second. Matchmaking used to be just a joke, but now it's just a tragedy.
I often have to quit the game at the very beginning when I see that it selects beginner players, where the champions are people with master or predator badges.
Solo queues are completely unplayable with this terrible matchmaking. You don't have your own team - better not play. It's a waste of nerves.

  Original blog post in January of 2023. 21 months later and matchmaking is worse than ever. GG, Respawn!

    I remember that there was a time when you won on average once every 20 kills. Now in solo queue, if you kill a lot, I get 1 win per 100 kills.
    I get a lot of kills throughout the game, but at the end suddenly a team comes along with even more kills and kills everyone in 3 seconds. This is what games look like today.
    There are not enough players in the PC lobby to make even the pubs playable. Shocking. Putting low lvl and masters/predators in one game is pure madness.
    Well done Respawn. When is the next store update?
    HOW MANY BEGINNERS CAN YOU ADD TO YOUR TEAM WHEN YOU ARE KILLED BY A PERSON WITH TENS OF THOUSAND KILLS AND THE BEST BADGES (4K DAMAGE AND 20 BOMBS) ON ONE CHARACTER? HOW MUCH DO I ASK? HOW LONG WILL THIS HORRIBLE MATCHMAKING LAST LIKE IT IS NOW?
