Fair game play

Hello, I've sent messages regarding unfair match ups especially in Battlegrounds, it seems like if you didn't start playing the day the game came out years ago, you're screwed, constantly matched against people with literally double to triple your heros rating, and they have a whole roster of that, tell me how that is fair in any way, shape or form. Literally just waste time and energy just to get destroyed, makes it no fun to play. Please try to do something to make more even matches, if i lose to someone with similar rank champions, fine, they were the better player, but when my top guy is 16k and their weakest is 25k, it's impossible to compete against that

The hell 😩🙄😤😡😡
It isn't really supposed to be fair. If the players ahead of you are stronger than you, then you're probably going to lose. The game is not going to go looking for a "fair match" for you, because that would be shielding you from the competition. You are not supposed to be able to hand pick your opponents all the way up to the top. That would be nonsensical.
Now, there is a component to this that newer players don't know, that is helpful. There are a lot of players similar in roster strength to you that play BG. So where are they? Probably lower than you right now. You match against whoever is at your tier. If everyone is stronger than you, so be it. But those players will promote higher as they win, and so you can't keep matching against them forever. We don't create new players on an assembly line to keep throwing at you. Who's there is who hasn't won yet and hasn't promoted upward yet.
So the earlier in the season, the stronger the competition is. The later in the season, the weaker it gets - because all the stronger players moved up. If you are seeing super strong competition, its because you promoted up into a VT tier with a lot of strong players, and you either have to beat them or wait for them to leave the room you're in. Players with rosters as strong as yours do eventually get to higher tiers. They can even make it to GC if they try hard enough, and also concentrate their efforts towards later in the season.
But BG match making is not "fair" in the sense of finding equal matches for you. It does not, because it should not, because if you could just match against players like you, you'd have an easier time promoting than players much stronger than you, which would be unfair overall. Players with stronger rosters have an advantage, and they get to use that advantage to promote faster. Weaker players need to use their brains, and let them beat each other up and promote. Play exploratory matches to see the strength of the competition, and either push forward or give it some time depending.
But ultimately, you are pushing through a crowd of people trying to get to the front. If the people in front of you are stronger than you, you aren't likely to get past them. If you can't accept that, then Battlegrounds is not for you. But it won't be because the game mode is unfair to players like you. Other players with exactly your roster will compete instead of you, and will get those rewards instead of you, and you'll fall behind them. By choice.
