First off I love, love, love the actual PvP gameplay. There is nothing like it out there. That said? This is tied for the absolute worst matchmaking I have ever seen with Rocket League. I was a 1.36 KDA before starting comp/trails. I believe its now a 1.18? Unless you have a stack or play PvP 10 hours a day I wouldn't recommend playing. Every game is peek and switch, peek and switch, and if you don't have that kind of communication its not even worth it. Even if you happen to get a bunch of solo's they all have 1.5 KDAs and above. Then your teammates will be a couple of 1806 and 1801 new lights who don't even have mods or know the objective.
If they aren't going to fix matchmaking they need to remove quit penalties until they make the progress in trials more about individual achievement and less about the win. If all that matters is wins it will never be what they want it to be. If we are down 3-0 I am hopping off the ledge. Me getting kills doesn't matter so not running forward to just get slapped in the face. I would love to see more people do this to get some kind of action from Bungie. Otherwise you are just feeding streamer and sweats free kills. A forfeit button would also be a great idea. Lowering the games down to best of 3? Not best of 5? Anything to speed it up when I know I'm not winning this game. To all the "but you can always come back crowd"... Don't be stupid please. Odds of winning the game at that point are less than 5%. All you're doing by attempting to win is slowing down the next opportunity. Get me out of here and to the next game.

If you're unhappy with your teammates, why not link up with your clanmates, friends, LFG? Then you have the coms and people that play the objective that you are complaining about.
