This DOES NOT feel good

I did want a 222 role lock but I also wanted a match maker that isn’t garbage i.e. not having low level mmr players forced onto teams to “balance it” its so obvious at this point which players are going to be your teams Achilles heel.

That’s not how it works. Matchmaker only attempts to find 12 people with the same MMR and put them in a match. It doesn’t consider level, or SR, or anything but MMR.

How Competitive Skill Rating Works (Season 16)

The rating and matchmaking system is confusing, and a good overview does not appear to be available. The official overview (1, 48) is incomplete and does not answer a number of common player questions and concerns. This information below is gathered from sporadic blue posts and developer update videos, and salted with my own experience and experiments, various forum threads, and watching streams. Note that since Blizzard does not give exact algorithms, I do have to fill in some gaps, or leave so…
