The vast majority of people who rant against fair matchmaking systems, unfortunately, are not like you - they instead want to consistently play against people that are far worse than them, so they can repeatedly stomp the games and convince themselves that they're awesome.
The situation that you described is so incredibly uncommon that publishers will never specifically address it. This isn't good, but the general (instead of specific) approach of "getting rid of skill-based matchmaking" has so many more downsides that that's going going to happen either (and it would be very bad).
- runnerup 4y agoIf I was a publisher I’d address it by making a micro transaction to temporarily add a boost to your MMR. So players can pay money to play better opponents.
- throw10920 4y agoUnfortunately, that doesn't work in any games where you play on a team, because then everyone else on your team is playing with a lower-skilled player, which makes the game much harder (and usually less fun) for them. The only way you could implement this feature in a fair way (for both teams) is if you allowed an "MMR boost" when your entire team is a single party. And that would be fair! I'd support that feature, even if I never use it.
