Appreciate the dialogue all. Still a little disheartened… just seems to be getting worse not better. My other compliant is fleet… it suddenly went from 2 to 3 on defense…. Again, someone at 7.3M GP vs 8.5M-9M won’t have enough to really fill out a solid defense. Just a bummer.

Explain how it's related.
Over time everyone gets separated based on skill rating. Think of a bell curve that is pulled at both ends.
The squish pushes everyone back towards the middle.
The squish is a number game to prevent inflation. It doesn't change who you'd have been matched with. There is no relation to OPs question and the squish.
What you call “inflation” is actually separation - spreading players out farther based on skill creating better matchups.
The squish brings people back to the middle undoing the separation.
Think of having everyone in the world at a 500 rating. After 4 weeks people separate from 250 to 750. Matchups are better.
The squish brings everyone back to 500.
This is an extreme example but illustrate what is happening.

Again, I still stand by the fact that someone with 8.5-9M GP has an insane advantage over someone with 7.3M regardless of ranking. The matching makes no sense, isn’t fair and is a massive step backwards for keeping folks engaged in this game.

It would be nice if CG matched based on Skill Rating first, and then those with same SR were matched based on closest GP.
Either the matchmaking algorithm can’t handle two filters, or they want to try and frustrate the lower GP player into spending their way out of this situation. My guess is the latter.
