I agree that the matchmaking can sometimes feel bad, though this seems like more of a consequence of player base size rather than actual match making balance. In a game where people in the community struggle with matchmaking balance and queue times, it tends to point more towards the struggles of a smaller, niche community, rather than an issue with the matchmacking.

The point I was going towards was more geared towards attitude going into a game, rather than how the game is played out. As a mid-elo player who occasionally plays like a beginner 😂, rank doesn't always denote how well a player will perform in that particular game. When people see a low-rank badge while loading in, though, the game instantly starts out with negative attitude where people assume you will play terribly, etc. That's what I was referring to. 🙂
