Matchmaking Is OFFICIALLY Broken

Unranked is not counted is my guess. That would put you still within a rank of each other.

Just had a series of Bronze/unranked healers/tanks in my team, while I was trying to clear my Gold Promotional Series... Enemy team? Silver. Gold. Silver... Three times, I hit 900, and three times, I ended up with horrible matchmaking. And then the game just decided to pull out every last unranked player it could and throw it at me... Enemy SCH? Silver. On HER Promotional series. Mine? Unranked AST. So stupid.

Once you reach gold, you can't have unranked player in your game anymore. I know matchmaking seem awful , but don't stress too much about it you'll reach gold eventually

I don't understand what's wrong with this. Silvers can have higher rating.

lol , the problem of the matchmaking is certainly the lack of players.
SE can certainly fix this but it will make queue longer.
After player will complain about the queue.

Indeed, & the lack of players currently is due to a highly toxic environment punctuated with cheaters & obnoxious elites. It's a continuous downward spiral I'm afraid.

This, it is based on your points not your tier. Started seeing this when I first hit high Bronze and now high Silver. It is averaging your points, so if you are a high point player in your tier you are very likely to get matched with a low point player from the higher tier.
