I think the matchmaking is totally fine. The first season was a bit chaotic as players were still finding "their" ranks, but now everyone is slowly settling into their appropriate leagues and division, facing people that are equally strong. "Strong" in this case is mostly a mixture of a person's skill and roster. Some people are in higher divisions because of their skill, some because of their rosters. People with both are usually very high up there.
If 2 people with huge roster difference get matched up, that means that the lower GP player has been doing really well, or the high gp player has been doing poorly, or both. But they are still equally "strong", because what the low GP player lacks in terms of roster, he/she will make up with skill.
Here is my most recent matchup:
Here is my opponent's roster:
Here is mine:
Here's the final score:
I'm 99% sure that some people would have immediately gone to the forums to complain about a bad matchup. They wouldn't even have bothered to play and then blamed the loss on the matchmaking.
But people have to remember that there's a reason why people are at the ranks they are at. When I saw my opponent I knew that there was no reason to quit before the match even started. The skill-rating of this match was around 3600. I knew that if this person was at 3600, that meant they either don't care about GAC, or just aren't a good player. Skilled players with such a roster would likely be like 200-300 points above that. So I knew there was a chance to win that match, and I did.
The point of my comment is, people should stop blaming the matchmaking for their losses and should stop throwing the match even before it started just because their opponents have far superior rosters. Just remember that there's always a reason why people are at the ranks they are at. If you feel like you're stuck, then that means you either lack the skill or the roster to progress, or both. This means you have found "your" place and will only progress once your skill and/or roster improve. Simple as that.
