So has anyone else noticed how messed up the matchmaking for Starcraft is? In all the games I have played I have never been favored or evenly matched. I'm not even that bad, I win most of my games. Earlier this week me and my 2v2 partner played against a 1st place 2v2 platinum team when we were still in bronze league. We managed to win and get a buttload of points, and get bumped into silver, but still every game we seem to play is against gold leaguers and up. What is the point of leagues when the majority of the time you are playing people outside of your own? 

well... 
doesnt happen to me 
however i dont really play 2v2 that much 
maybe because the majority of people are doing 1v1 and custom games then they need to search for as even as they can get idk 
i think its pretty effective

Yes it is shit I get matched up with top tier platinum or diamond players in their division all the time.

If you win most of your games, you are probably always gonna fight people who are ranked higher than you. Chances are you haven't lost enough yet to start fighting against people in a lower league than you. 
 
I'd say, if your win/loss ratio is 50 50, then the system works. Right now I have 25 wins 25 losses. It's working for me...

Leagues don't matter. They're a very poor indication of your skill just because of how they're set up.
 
Blizzard has a ton of data that it uses that it doesn't show you. As long as you have around 50/50 win ratio, the matchmaking system is working.

It's working perfectly, if you're winning a lot of your games it matches you up with higher level players so that it can determine if you need to be moved up a leauge or not. I don't know why but people tend to think that the matchmaking will keep them in a position where they'll be comfortably winning for ever, when in fact the matchmaking will do it's very best to make every game be a challenge, but not have you be steamrolled. Get used to hard games if you're winning a lot.

" @kishan6: I have a friend who is in bronze league 1v1, and he has the same problem I do. Maybe it something that only effects bronze league? "

" @sixghost: So maybe it should search for a little longer. I find games in less than 10 seconds, the system seems more worried about getting you a game quickly than having it be fair. "

" @Semition: But Its obviously not. I look at my match history and I play more Platinum and gold players than I do Silver and Bronze. If Blizzards data says I should play those people, then it should put me in that league. "

Thats by design.

" @kishan6: Well if you'd read my original post the jump was from bronze to platinum, and on several different occasions. 
 
@Semition: Because most of the time I don't stand a chance against these people. I look at their profile and they have 5 times the amount of games played and games won. "

Im in bronze, rank 8 or 9 it depends how much I play, but it seems to work OK for me. I've beat the last few slightly favoured players I've played anyway

So what is crap about that?
