Is it just not possible, to get halfway decent BG ladder matchmaking?

Look, I’m not gonna sit here and sulk about people who spend thousands on the game. It’s your money, you do what you want with it.
I will however be annoyed at the fact, that out of my last 4 matches I played- three of those were players that only needed one more win to get into Vibranium 2. Why am I matching those people?
Before you say that it’s “completely random” I know, I’ve been playing solely BG’s since they came out. I’m more than aware of how the MM works- but getting a bad matchup 75% of the time (in this specific scenario) is by definition unfair.
I’m sure there are plenty of other people who are also one win away, why are you basically making me be their punching bag?
I’m not asking for perfect MM, because I know that doesn’t exist- but can we at least get somewhat decent ladder MM?
This is really starting to get annoying.

It's a competition. An actual one, not one where everyone wins because they participate
ie, are the same # of Medals (or wins) away from moving up another Tier as you are ?
Some of those you might currently be facing in Vibranium might end up “giving you” the match if they are only 1 win away from moving up, precisely because they DON'T WANT TO move up yet. So you a want to avoid those too ?
You should see the accounts I face .... monsters. But I buckle up and give 'em the losses they deserve lol. and sometimes they give 'em to me. That's how it is sometimes.
It’s always interesting to see how many elitists frequent this forum, reminds me just how “pay to win” minded this community really is.
Also, could you please link me something where it says they fixed it? Because I’ve been matching people 2-3 ranks higher than me about 65% of the time.
I’d like to see said post, or the proof you have.
Thanks.
You’re right, I definitely shouldn’t have my own opinion; no matter where I’m placed at! Thanks for the advice
So now the accounts that should be higher up in the ladder, are lower on purpose- so they can get more points in total.
There really is no winning in this mode, because of the mindset this community as a whole has.
No one plays the gamemode to have fun anymore, people only have nuke offense champs, and cheesy defense champs ranked up- because all people care about is winning.
BG’s used to be a pretty fun gamemode, but now all it is is nothing but whales, people stuck to their gaming chair, among other things.
Clearly, I shouldn’t have my own opinion- as all the keyboard warriors and trolls come out to play. I see why people don’t post much on this forum about legitimate concerns and complaints. Yikes.
Also those whales or high accounts, most likely went all the way up to GC for those Titan shards and DV piece, this means they start at Diamond 5.
Not exactly sure where in the ladder you are at right now.
Also, perhaps you should return back to school. That’s not 10 paragraphs.

I do agree with you that there might be a lot more campers with the new system. However there are two takes to it. You get 66.6% chance to get a free win, and 33.3% of a fight. And players will need to lose twice and hope to get a favorable match when they want to win. I have had a few freebies where players quit after 5s into the banning phase with a much larger account than mine. It seems like you have been unlucky with it. While I don’t applaud this farming tactic, I don’t dislike them for giving me a free win either. Eventually Kabam will catch up to them. So for the meantime just enjoy the RNG. At the end of the day, you still need to be able to beat them to climb up the rank. That’s how most open competition works.
