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. ...

And you've got no idea what older experienced players faced.
Are you meeting maxxed out and unbeatable Revans the second he was in game? Didn't think so.
That was our experience whenever meta defining toons like thrawn or CLS were introduced. If you didn't get them yourself at first pass there were virtually no GW wins for you for the next 3 to 6 months.
GW is easier than it used to be. They did this change about a year ago. That is absolutely the reason older players don't greet these posts with the sympathy many seek.
That doesn't mean it's easy, far from it, and that curve from about mid level 70's up is absolutely brutal. Some of us forget that and also forget that new additions like nightsisters and bastilla will present newer players with a much different challenge that you can't just throw a zeta on finn at and breeze through.
But, by the same logic, you've got access to far more powerful at a low star/GP lineups than we ever did that can get the job done for you; nightsisters, bastilla jedi, resistance, first order all good examples.
It is frustrating, because you probably have been doing ok but have now reached the tipping point, when you begin to hit unbeatable teams. every. single. GW.
The goalposts no longer keep moving like they used to. Every team has a counter and by broadening your roster you will get over these hurdles. Eventually. Good luck.
You're missing the point because of your old experiences. No one is complaining about a new meta character that is just really hard to beat. People are talking about being matched up with teams that are 2 or 3 times their GP. A 22K team being matched up against a 70K team. That's not the same thing as what you're talking about... even if the end result seems to be the same (not winning GW). There appears to be a new bug that has been introduced (I say "new" based on other posts and the timing that this phenomenon seemed to begin). Unless you have lower level accounts that you've been playing the last couple months and seeing it for yourself, you may very well be ignorantly claiming knowledge about something you cannot possibly have knowledge about. People that are not currently doing GW at sub level 80, should not be providing reassurance to the Devs that everything is working correctly when they have no direct knowledge of that being true. And if you were getting matched up against teams that were twice your GP "back in the day" then you should be happy to jump on board and proclaim there is a problem with matchmaking. Nothing else makes any sense. Are you actually defending poor design of GW matchmaking like it is something to be celebrated?
