Alright, so basically I think I found the bug for why matchmaking is so shit. Using sites like Tracklock, you can see people's ranks if you look em up after a match. I just had a match as Archon I, where one of my teammates was an Arcanist V, That is a +10 rank differential.
To put that in perspective, if we used another game's ranking system like... Overwatch. That is like putting a bronze into a gold match.
I thought it was weird having these strings of losses, and it seems the devs have decided in their infinite wisdom... to average people's ranks when assembling teams from at least a 10 rank differential (Possibly even more!). I primarily play support, not carry, which doesn't bode well whenever the carry players on my team are +10 ranks lower than the enemy team's carries and don't have the game sense to stay alive long enough for support to matter. Let's be real here, carries win/lose the match.
What needs to change is that when matchmaking players should be drawn from within 5 ranks. Meaning, if I am an Archon I, the lowest my teammates should be is Emissary I.
So the bug I'm reporting is the massive rank differential issue. The matchmaking is bugged, and this should be fixed. Pair us up with like-skilled players, instead of deadweight.
