I know what everyone is going to say - "population is down" - "matchmaking is always bad" - no, this is different. Something is going on. Very good players are getting matched with very bad players, and of course lobby balancing feels random AT BEST.
Just had a match where the efficiencies of one team ranged from 1.7 to 12.5 and the other ranged from .4 to .9. It was a pointless match. Nobody learned anything, the outcome was a foregone conclusion before it even began.
What's going on?

Geee you would think discussions like this would be an opportunity for the great new crucible strike team to interact with players to discuss if any changes were indeed made to matchmaking, what the goals of those changes were and if they were achieving the goals..... That would be if such things actually existed and if the developer actually cared about this game past its ability to feed them revenue to build two other games they hope make this one obsolete.
