What I dislike is how much more uncommon random matchups are. I find ranked stressful because it incentivizes making the number go up, so I prefer to be an eternal Quick Play player. But a lot of QP systems still use shadow rankings that influence who you get paired with, and they tend to give me very ping-pong results. One game I'm dominating against the other team, but then the ball hits the other side and get paired with people above my level for the next several. It kinda makes me feel like the agency on how well I can perform is taken away from me, and I just have to hope the matchmaking system takes pity. At least when matches were more random, sometimes I'd get paired with people above my level, but it was rare that it felt completely rigged against me.
