Why am I being put in games I’m expected to lose against master smurfs? It’s any time I’m about to rank up I get in 2 or 3 of these matches. One match was M5-G1 another was plat3-M3 and of course the masters are always on the enemy team. Wtf is this match making?

They are gatekeeping my dps from diamond too anytime I get one win away they either put me against a cheating widow or give me a feeding tank.

So do you think there’s just someone on call whenever you are on game off diamond, or are there enough cheaters in plat that they always got one ready for you.

It seems so from my experience. I would like to at least get a winnable game for my rank up game. One that isn’t already decided in the spawn room. So I can at least accept the challenge instead of being denied the opportunity.
Sounds like you misunderstand what the rank icons at the top mean, e.g the “match rank range” .
They mean the ranks of all players in both teams.
If you see “match rank range: plat 3 - masters 3” -
It does NOT mean that it’s a plat 3 team vs masters 3 team game.
Instead, it means that both teams have ~plat 3 to ~masters 3 players.

You aren’t.
The modifiers have zero to do with match making.
When you lose and get “expected”, it is to do with marginal differences in teams MMR. Your team’s would have been slightly lower.
Those matches you mention are just ranges. Both teams will have people at the top and bottom of that range.
Every game is winnable.
Something being lost in the spawn room is purely the mentality of the players and not a game thing.
If you act and think like a loser, you’ll probably lose.
Or maybe, you’re, atm, just not good enough to consistently take the opportunity.
No I understand it means the range of the lobby but still ridiculous. Why are master in those lobby’s. Checked the teams and it’s always masters boosting the enemy team. Never once had a master on my team.
It does expect u to lose 
consolation in other words we you were expected to lose.

It is never equal. They use the same system in the stadium, and there it is in front of you in numbers, the whole game.
Some heroes gather cash a bit faster, but when the numbers hit an obvious diff across the whole lobby, you know it is rigged. You know this for sure, when it is happening every other game, yet you cannot carry it every time for whatever reason, so you are stuck until the game literally favors you and lets you beat lowbies a couple times in a row, so you rank up.

In theory the
perfectly balances out the lower chance of winning. But bth I don’t think it works in the extremes, at some point the chance is just 0%
When you had a 0% chance to win is when they hit you with a “reversal”

Reversal calibration losing trend (after 2 losses)

There will be master on both teams.
You misinterpret what the modifiers mean. (Devs fault for naming them so badly).
They don’t “expect” you to lose. But your teams MMR will be a fraction lower than the enemy’s, so, mathematically you have a lower odds of winning.
In reality, the difference is negligible.
You’ll never be in a game where it’s zero %.
95% of games are with the 45 to 55% chance.
If you’re in the highest ranks or low low bronze, you might occasionally get a game slightly out of that range due to population.
But anything from silver to low masters, you’re basically guaranteed an even match.
What mode are you playing?
