Extremely unfair BG matchmaking
![[Deleted User]](https://us.v-cdn.net/6029252/uploads/defaultavatar/n1NX1KZ6AC8ZT.jpg)
As you know BG is known for terrible matchmaking. I'm a 2.8m rating player but almost all of my last 30-35 matches against 5-6m players.
I can understand and tolerate a 1-2m rating difference. But how can I match against 8m+ rating players? This is so unfair. If you don't find an opponent with similar power just increase the duration of matchmaking time. I would happily wait 1-2 minutes for that. It's way better than playing against 3-4x powerful opponents

To answer.
First week of BG is very very unfair because everyone is dumped together in same rank bracket, the ones who reached Vibranium and ones who got to top of GC,
On second week you will start to see that if you played good you could've win that round,
On final week, you will face many weak accounts.
From platinum rank onwards, you can face anyone in the bracket, no restrictions so keep improve your account and skills.
It is the right thing cause if you get paired up with accounts your size you will get to GC before a lot of Valiants. Why should you get into GC before most Valiants and big accounts when we're all competing for same rewards? How is that even remotely fair?
Before the current system, people with an alt account that was cavalier would have a way easier time getting that account to GC than their main account that was top of progression. It really sucked having to Duke it out with other top-level paragons (no valiant at that time) to get to GC while people with smaller accounts got an easier path to GC.
BGs should not punish you for increasing your roster strength which was exactly what happened before. To compromise, kabam changed matchmaking to not care about your roster once you get to platinum so small accounts could still play to a certain degree without also making life painful for the large accounts at the top of Victory track.
It's no different than how professional sports that has leagues. The boxing analogy doesn't work because heavyweight boxers restricted to just fighting in their class.
That's not how BGs works. BGs is more akin to the NFL, MLB or competitive soccer leagues. There are strong teams and there's weak teams.
In baseball, there are large market teams and small market teams. The large market teams can spend more and have a bigger advantage. But small market teams still have to face them.
Again, just like your view on Blade, you have a even less of a understanding of BGs.
It's pretty amazing to see how you react when you don't have this little echo chamber like you did with your Blade thread. You don't have any counter arguments so you resort to personal attacks and whataboutisms.
