the new matchmaking system is prioritizing putting lower ranked people in upper ranked games with the hopes of "balancing the lobby" resulting in people with 25 games or less ending up in ritualist lobbies or people from far upper ranks ending up lower. the result of this is more or less always the same
the mediocre rank players(me, i am a ritualist only ) are getting up against good players we are usually able to defend and stop them from taking the guardian for 9-10 min s in a stalemate until the people in the other lane who are genuinely new(have had 2 players who dint even know their items and had just started this week or last week) and learning get curbstomped by even the mediocre enemy players then those overfed players come to my lane ( I mostly get solo lane) completely annihilate me and then that leads to an even further snowball effect where my own enemy is now fed and that leads to even more death and an impossible to recover scenario
the farm enemies/aliens/denizens already give you much lower soul then they used to, there's also no defense of you farming on your side, you farm it shows up on their minimap when you clear a place (ESPECIALLY WHEN PLAYING AS MCGINNIS LIKE THE TURRETS GIVE AWAY MY LOCATION) atleast let us farm in peace on our side of the map or allow some protection like not falling off the zipline when between two still alive not being attack guardians or walkers so if someone comes to flank us we have an escape route idk something anything.
your only option is to get an insane number of kills which is incredibly difficult(especially as i am a bad fighter and often put in more obj damage then the rest of my team combined) when these overfed teams have instakill ultimate's(shiv haze wraith warden) that when factoring in the soul diff are impossible to counter even with items(what's healbane going to do vs bullet/spirit lifesteal + leech)
the average skill rating is just a placating feature because if they reveal actual ranks the whole situation becomes crystal clear
which brings to the whole thing about ranks, can't even play in peace anymore without the rest of team going nuts about their ranks because every game is ranked and hiding that option and unchecking it automatically aint changing anything
at least in the Prev patches i could run from a broken character to not feed but how do I run from a pre rigged game?
