Constantly screwed over during events
EA never fails to screw you over. Every single event for this game, I'll win 4 or 5 out of the first six matches, and then proceed to get hosed in the last four being matched against opponents and u...

Events look at your win percentage in the event and try to match you with people with similar win percentage in the event. No wonder it gets harder the more you win.
Here are some tips how I do the events:
Don't play right as the event starts and don't play when the event is about to end. Then your chances of winning are higher. This is personal experience. So I recommend waiting a few hours before event starts, or even a whole day. But don't do it last minute either, or your chances drop again.
Also, when you loose a match, wait 30-60 seconds before attempting another one, so that the chance of getting the same person and loosing again is lower.

Are you quite sure that this is how it works?
At the beginning, everybody has a win rate of 0% in the event. So matching would be completely random then. After one fight, you either have a win rate of 0% or 100% in the event (not counting draws, but these are really seldom). That does not really make it much better, since the 0% people would again be matched against the other 0% people, and the 100% win rate people would be matched against the other 100% people. So, still completely random.
Only after a significant amount of games played - say, ten - you would arrive at a win rate that is rather meaningful. But then the event is already over, or there is not much left of it.
To me, it honestly seems like it's completely random. I have gotten easy opponents right after I have won, and I have gotten hard opponents right after I have lost, sometimes several times in a row. So yeah, I don't really think it is anything other than the complete crap shoot that is so defining for this game.Probably not percentage but wins vs losses.
And, yes, that first match or two can be all over the place because you'll get matched with someone just starting as well.
I find the match making for events to be very consistent with my overall win/loss rate when compared to a large number of ranked games so I think it dials you in pretty quick if using your usual army.
