There is nothing wrong with matchmaking.
The entire gamemode is based on having the strongest possible roster for the GP you have.
So, it's perfectly fair that somebody who focused intensely on being efficient with his GP have an advantage, and another player who has just being horsing around and "having fun" with the game (I never understood why being competitive and efficient couldn't be fun), instead has a clear disadvantage.
Sometimes you'll be in a group of 1 focused player and 7 casuals, sometimes it'll be the other way around.
But remember, Roster alone isn't everything.
Strategy matters. Preparation for each individual match matters. Mods matters a lot! Understanding of how kits work matters. All of these things makes it possible to beat a player with "better" toons. Especially if you can device a few unsual strategies (most applicable in 3v3 where some truly weird teams can be an absolute pain).
Just like in every other game mode you have to ask yourself if you want to be competitive. If you do, it's pretty obvious what you need to do. Otherwise, well, just be casual about GA. You get rewards for 8th places, so it's not a total loss.
