Prior to these matchmaking changes I almost never ran across "red bar" warriors. After these changes - and this includes the post "fix" tweak - I have not been in a game that didn't have at least 4-6 red or yellow bars. While I appreciate the challenge and theory of skill based match making - most of my competition has been with lagging players and your servers. Connection speed should be the only priority until you can ensure everyone is playing against other greens. After you can do that, when everyone is on equal footing, then introduce skill based matchmaking. Having to play against equally skilled players is an irrelevant point when the server delay and lag introduce the barriers to competition.
