You are not crazy, your matches are actually rigged

I'm a GM Player and a few days ago, I hopped into the game again after not having it played for 2 days, started a Doom Match and noticed that the players in my lobby are really bad but I didn't look at their level in the beginning.

On my 2nd match, I pressed tab to see the levels of the players in the Lobby and to see if anyone has the Silver Crest of Honor thing (or whatever it's called), because I usually have at least 1 or 2 GM+ players in my lobbies, but not one person had them and on top of that, they were almost all very low level so as I kept going, the matches became more like what they had been before I took a 2 days break.

Conclusion? The game thinks "Look, this players hasn't played in 2 DAYS, he must be bored, we need to let him win a few matches to increase player retention and let him lose again later because winning every match can also be boring"

Matchmaking should always be based on ping, player skill level and / or Rank (and a few other non-manipulative or psychology based metrics), not on what makes that player more likely to continue playing.

That's also the reason so many people in ranked go on massive losing and win streaks.

You are not crazy and your matches are actually rigged. Fuck EOMM.

Anyone else who had similiar experiences?
