You got 22 kills because the other guys were shitters as well. Perhaps a bit more organized.
Matchmaking should put you into a lobby where these numbers are hard to obtain.
And that would be fair for all.
Just play other games and get rid of the stress. MM makes no sense, it's just a shit show. Like now, dude on Talon had 100k souls, 40k above others, tell me this is not some form of cheat?
It must be fun time for them, then they make videos and analyze why the game lost player count. Matchmaking is surely broken and the game doesn't feel fun but like a choir. It's nowhere near ready for open beta in this state. Perhaps they should take into consideration what average players want...
It's MM issue, not how anyone is good at the game. You shouldn't be put into a lobby that is unbalanced. Smurfs are also the issue. They skew the outcome as well. Every now and then there are blatant cheaters in game and they will generate 20k-30k more souls than anyone in the game.
It happened even before the update, sometimes the projectile just goes invisible but deals damage, other times it just vanishes like it was not active in the world at all.
