That isn’t true at all. You swap a Bronze and a GM, and see how much influence their choices are having in their respective games.
Yes, in a way since you are playing against people at your level, you DO have to work for even staying where you are, but that is the nature of fair games.
If you want easy games, don’t play against people, there is a world of AI’s you can clown on who won’t care.
The issue is this, you are wanting games which are fun and slightly on the easy side for you, and SO IS EVERYONE ELSE.
The matchmaker CAN’T do this in a PvP game with the same number of people on each side.
You can’t get there.
