Double Matching in Battlegrounds

I wish there was a system in place to make sure you don’t match the same person twice. I matched with this guy before and he had 100% health vs my prof X which is believable because he had a rank 3 scorpion but 100% with a rank 2 Domino seems a little less believable. I guess the lesson here is to wait a minute before matching again. Also I understand in higher ranks that this has to happen but in lower ranks it shouldn’t.

OP has a valid complaint. Because both players are ending their BG set at some time (obviously), and if both people want to play another match right away again, they both would get re-entered back into the “line” of people waiting to match.
And note, the “waiting line” (for each of the different tier levels, brackets, or such, that Kabam uses to put people into for determining matching) is only a SINGLE PERSON waiting line.
Obviously, since if there could be 2 people waiting in the same Level/Tier, they would just be matched against each other, so then there would be 0 people waiting.
So focusing on just the level/tier that they both are at. There would seemingly be a 50/50 chance that those 2 same people would be immediately matched against each other AGAIN.
(case 1) there is already a “waiting” person in line. One of these 2 people that just finished would match with the waiting person, and the other one that just finished would now be the “waiting” person.
(case 2) there is NOT another person in that “1-person waiting chair”, so when these 2 people finish their BG, and request again, they are the 2 people put in line, and so get matched against each other AGAIN.
So at best it is 50/50, basically Odd/Even # of other people also looking to do BG then (assuming there ARE other people doing BG at that time).
* It should (at a minimum) not match you against same person again within a certain amount of time (say, half hour ??).
* Or potentially go even further and exclude “re-matches” against any of your “xx most recent” (say, last 4 ??) opponents, no matter how long ago those matches had been.
The first set up I lost back to back (My fault)
Second set up I kicked his ass the two rounds back to back
When life gives you the opportunity to regain your honor, take it 😂 (unless they are modders, then u can't do [nuffin'])
On a serious note, I matched this person 3 times in a row, which isn’t ideal.
Now, if nobody else is even active in a running BG, let along nobody waiting, then sure just match them against same again.
Unless the solution is to have a button that says “Skip matching against that last person”.
