Please fix the quality of the matchmaking

Product: Command & Conquer: Rivals
Platform:Android Phone
List the specific devices you play with (e.g. iPhone 6s Plus, Samsung Galaxy S7) Sony Xperia XA2
OS Version Android 9
What is your Player ID? Mr Crac#GcdxpKY9
What type of issue do you have? Gameplay
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Summarize your bug The quality of the matchmaking in this game is absurdly, abysmally low. You could get a rather easy opponent, then a very hard opponent, then a more or less fitting opponent straight one after the other. There is just no consistent quality whatsoever. The reason for this is that the algorithm which is used to perform the matchmaking is way too simplified. Thus it is completely unable to deliver good results. But it would be easy enough to improve it. For example, currently the algorithm does not take the medal count from previous seasons or the achieved lifetime medals into account, but really it should do that. Another possibility is to look at the win rate (unmanipulated, i.e. when people cheat to lower their medal count for the Rivals Race this must be considered).
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game yourself, and notice the very inconsistent quality of the matchmaking.

    I understand what you mean. It is true: When there are fewer players online, any algorithm has less possibilities to choose a good match. Still, there could at least be an option for the player to choose: Either get a match quickly (at a lower quality), or wait longer for a proper match. That should be quite possible to do.

    As you can see, the development of the game is stopped. The last feature was added half a year ago.

    Every game is a challenge battle.  I haven’t won a match in dozens of games.  Albeit there are no lost points.  The game is no longer enjoyable if every match has a matchup that leaves you overwhelmingly outranked by opponents.  There is something wrong.  Please help?
