Can anyone explain this to me.

What's up with the matchmaking in this game, Why am I getting placed with a team full of bronze while the enemy side has two golds and a silver that can carry their bronze?

[Cynric]

Probably the same reason I get two silvers and an unranked against a platinum 2 golds and a bronze.

It hates us. No really I have no idea but it seems really off

[Takatsuki]

There's literally 0 skill difference between the average gold and bronze player.

Has nothing to do with the topic even if you're right.

Matchmaking still shouldn't give you such weirdly balanced teams, I've even seen the opposite where I had a Diamond and all of us were gold against 2 Bronze players a Platinum and a Silver.

That's also true, but I'm still curious as to how it matches up players. It obliviously doesn't match based on rank (seems anything within two tiers is fair game for being matched)

I think if no one matches its ranking criteria it just throws in whoever is in the queue. Late at night I get tons of unranked players, where as primetime I get more golds.

Though I have no idea how it chooses to balance those players on teams against each other.

the system tries to match players together but if there is no one it will just start throwing people together to get queues to pop.

I gave up in season 1 between this , the state of DRK at the time , and reading the chat log rants. Makes zero sense to me as well.

You might not be able to tell much about the average player's skill when ranked gold vs. bronze, but you can DEFINITELY tell a bronze healer from a gold one.

[Takatsuki]

Hell no, you can tell an experienced healer from an unexperienced one, but there's virtually no difference between bronze and gold.
