Whats with the squad curve in team?
Is this based on the skill of teams in the game? If so its an absolute fraud. Why am I constantly in a team at the bottom of the curve? I am being paired with people that cannot play the game. I hav...

I've been towards the top of the curve most of my games so far and gotten absolutely steamrolled almost every time. Maybe that's just a function of the shorter TTK, but I feel like that curve is just BS. It's a sugar pill to make you think that actual matchmaking is taking place but it isn't.
I call BS on that.
Yeah, I've played a bit more and I am starting to find the ranking does not really seem to indicate what is going on. I've been total top squad a few times and got smashed, had a few where I was quite lowly ranked and did... ok including a win. So I'm not sure what to make of it.
I do appreciate the transparency with it though.
"the ranking does not really seem to indicate what is going on."
Agreed. They're not showing you the span of skill of every player in the game, only the span of team averages. I've had matches where my squad average put us in the middle of the pack, but that was only because teammate #1 was a master, and teammate #2 was "new" to the game, hence the center-of-curve average. In reality it was player #2's account that was new to the game. He played like a pro and the two of them, without any help from me, vaporized three consecutive squads. Then they found the fourth and got vaporized themselves.
So no, don't take the data too seriously. There are far too many players in this game who make it their mission in life to lie to the matchmaker about their abilities.
