A fair grand arena match...?
I never get one. Seriously, I win maybe 1 out of 20 matches. I’m always either dead last or second last. So what’s the deal? I’m supposed to be better than I am? I guess I suck at pvp. Is there an...

You’re basically asking the devs to make you a JV conference. Would you be ok with competing for significantly fewer rewards as a result of playing in JV? Because if they just matched you with other people who lose and matched the winners with other people who win, keeping the same rewards system as now, then the winners will be getting lower rewards so that you can get higher rewards. Why should the people you admit are better than you at this game mode get lower rewards due to only getting matched against each other?
I think his ask is reasonable, and lesser rewards are also reasonable.
I don't think most people who complain about MM would suddenly stop complaining if they started winning but got less rewards.
Tiered brackets with increasing rewards are already a concept in this game. D1 gets more than D2. Bronzium gets less than Chromium etc.
Honestly matchmaking should never have even been a consideration in this mode had it been developed right.
A mobile game called golf star gets this type of mode perfect. Essentially everyone (regardless of level or GP) gets set in bracket 1 to start. The top 25% of scorers move to bracket 2 after one event. After the 2nd event the top 25% of scorers in bracket 1 move to 2. The top 25% of 2 move to 3. The bottom 25% of scorers in 2 move down to 1. So on and so forth. Don't ever reset the leader board. If you skip a week, you end up in the bottom 25% that get relegated. Eventually, everyone reaches a level at which they can be competitive, and the mode becomes fun for everyone who participates because the ladders are based on performance and not some horrible matchmaking formula.
And of course, rewards in 3 are better than 2 which are better than 1.
Ok but what does any of that have to do with my point?
"Tiered brackets with increasing rewards are already a concept in this game. D1 gets more than D2. Bronzium gets less than Chromium etc."
I'm saying many of these people who are complaining about MM are already getting lesser rewards by virtue of not advancing as far up their current ladders. If they had the feeling of being competitive to earn those rewards, the mode becomes more fun for them.
