Is there a bug with GW matchmaking?
I've seen many posts saying that there's probably a bug with GW. Lately, the matchmaking has been getting more and more king sofa (rev) bad, I now I'm thinking there's a lot of truth to those posts. ...

I believe the first problem here is to understand how GW matchmaking is actually designed/implemented.
Well, some players are posting that it's based on arena team and some say that it's based on top 5 chars. I've even seen a quote being posted that made it look like devs themselves said it was based on the highest GP arena win.
Highest arena win? That was the widely accepted theory back in 2016. What's the date of that quote?
Latest I had seen was top 5 of your roster, regardless of if they had been used in a squad together.
And by my previous comment of acceptable, I am meaning as in acceptable to a properly functioning GW matchmaking system. Answer: It isn't.
Longer answer:
Since this phenomenon only recently appeared in the beginning of October, we can deduce that it is indeed some kind of error. Having gone thru probably 1000 GWs over several devices and family accounts who play, to not see it ONE time from the time I got in to GW in April of 2018 til the beginning of October would indeed be one hell of a lucky stretch. I have seen it about every other day since then. Usually in battles that aren't usually hard(like 1-5 or 7, and 8).
