It can't be lack of games to rank me by. I have over 300 hours. It honestly feels like I'm the only tongue chewer in a lobby full of elite Russian Ritalin abusers with 30ms reaction times and perfect aim...

I have played 7 games in the past 2 days and the match making feels very bad. I go from an ASC 3 lobby (30125121) to the next game being Oracle 5(30126467). My next 4 games were all low phantom or high Oracle (30128364, 30175857, 30175857, 30179783). Then my next lobby is an ASC 2 lobby (30180863). I hate this inconsistency especially when my rank is ASC 2. Almost all of these games I am duo Q with my friend who is also ASC 2 so when we get a low phantom/high Oracle lobby the rest of our teammates (or the majority) must be way lower than the lobby rank to have it avg to low phantom/high Oracle. Thes games almost always feel bad and even though I can stomp them and win it isn't an enjoyable experience. I desperately want to play in lobbies with people of similar skill level consistently. It sucks Qing and being like oh is this going to be one of those games. It's also frustrating that I feel that if I was a rank or 2 higher, (ASC 3/4) I wouldn't be getting down placed and would be up placed instead. I would much rather wait 2-3x as long for a lobby that is good and my skill level then getting these weird balanced matches that match making is giving me the majority of the time.
There are also 2 games specifically 30179783 and 30175857 that had multiple players saying that have not played the game in weeks/months. I checked tracklock and could confirm. Why me (ASC 2 rank, plays 5-10 hours a day) gets matched with someone who hasn't played in weeks/months and is many tiers lower than me?
I love competitive deadlock games when each teams have similar skill. Thats when this game is at its most fun. Not when you take high ranked players and low ranked players to average out lobbies.

Generally felt like a mixed bag of really bad players lumped in with a few competent people.

The geist and the grey talon were extremely new to the game. this was their 8th game ever going against a full team of people who've been playing for well over 40-50 games.

Three cheating vindictas in a row. American players getting queued on EU servers. Not even bad matchmaking being able to put worse players in the enemy team so that you have the slightest chance. Why is your game like this?

I would LOVE it if Value would stop matchmaking me with people who ignore the text chat and are just abusive. The number of players who shout the N word at people, or call the team 'Retards', and spout lots of other abuse, especially in the Voice Chat is insane. Every time there is a player like that it is a 50/50 chance they will quit the match early, or due to not wanting to win, we lose.
It has gotten so bad recently, and there is seemingly nothing being done to stop it. I get the feeling it has gotten worse because players have seen that they won't get banned for it. Players throwing slurs should be banned from the game, but I'm not even sure they are suspended. Value have a unique opportunity to also stop these users being on Steam. They have all the power, but nothing is being done to use it? I have no faith though, the number of slurs I see in people's Steam usernames says to me that they don't care anymore, and as a result they force game development studios and now themselves to pay the price by having to deal with these people themselves. This seems unlikely since Value are in charge of both. A huge disappointment.

just look at the damage dealt, 3 heavy pieces of luggage on our team for no reason.

80K difference at 20 minues before they ended the game. Other team had a cakewalk. Not even close to fun. 10 kills to their 52 and two players had 34 kills between them. Matchmaker didnt even bother trying
