I just finished my placement matches for terran, as a zerg player I’ve peaked at diamond 3 so you know I’m a filthy casual. Yet after these placement matches I got placed in MASTERS. Mind you terran is without a doubt my worst race and I’m at best somewhere around mid plat with it. And two of my friends, one who returned to the game recently and one who’s never played before, also got placed in masters. I don’t know if Blizzard is TRYING to scare away players by making them face much harder enemies, but this has got to be fixed.
Matchmaking is based on mmr. The guys you will be matched with arent master. They just have the master border. Its a bug. At the same time on EU server everyone has bronze mmr 
It’s funny when you see a ‘‘Master’’ player and because that border you can see their low mmr on the loading screen.

Yeah exactly. In my eyes the mmr should be displayed in general.
But yeah true. If you see a master border with 2k mmr they arent master.
