That's a harsh loss, ugh.
Since I'm in Championship, I just autoplay H2H to get the OVR tags (i mean Serie A tags, haha), otherwise I wouldn't even bother as playing vs people on the other side of the globe with 300ms is just pointless. I guess it's an easy win for them.
Last night in VSA: I played 3 games. One was against a 127 with 64 stars. Looking at that guy's history, he has been playing vs even 118 and smashing them 14-6. Another opponent was also 127 with only 30 stars. I kinda get star level matching to a certain extent (I was on 22), but the OVR difference is still 4 (I'm on 123). I did have an easier opponent at 121, but that one looked shady. Barely any games played (30+ in Championship) and was nearly hitting the 20* bracket.
Now, the good news: this is being actively looked at with priority, based on what I have seen in the mods channel. Pulsar should be able to share more details as they become available.
