Facing top 50 players when you are level 5 and level 1 And they expect you to win with a 30% player who can barely creep his hero level 2 ten minutes into the game a player who belongs in another league I wish they just fix the game and make it more like cs go with actual rank system where if your like virtually handicapped at the game you belong in that league and have to climb up … but it will never happen. Everyone have fun on the game but i cannot justify playing this game the way it is now you can all play the seasons and the ladder and deal with these problems

Screenshot of you getting someone provably in the top 50. I suppose it’s possible due to the bug described below, but most people don’t check this stuff.
(Now, there was a bug early on where not enough XP was lost on losing games and this meant that some relatively crappy players could reach high levels- but it’s still MMR used for matching, not level.)
Unfortunately that bug contaminated the season and it really can’t be fully addressed without a ladder reset, as even with the bug fixed, everyone’s level/XP are unchanged. So it should be better next season and level should more closely align with people’s MMRs.
Then it means we should just wait 6 months until they change it ^^. But the thing with MMR is wrong, they really need to fix it. I’ve talked to some people, and they say they’re stuck in the same MMR. Like, all the top 500 are in Duelist ranking, and maybe only 10 are in Elite ranking. If they want to fix the matchmaking by MMR, they first need to fix the MMR system, so the players who should be at 4500+ MMR are actually there.
well given enough time I suppose things could even out as those people who were boosted by the EXP discrepancy will find themselves sliding back down.
The discrepancy is quite obvious btw, as there are people in lower MMR tiers at the top of the leaderboard as the leaderboard is based on XP not MMR.
Yes. Valid feedback: There is no MM basically. I am trying all the modes frequently for 1 year now, 4v4, 3v3, 2v2, 1v1 - this is commonly known. (And not fixed at all now as of 2.0.1.22498)
But some do get “confused” by blizzard’s “MM”-news suggesting there was MM: Like the one from update 2.0.1. (and unfortunately supported indirectly by some kind of trolls) They write this way for marketing reasons , but since they are actively suggesting by their wording there was MM it’s not true what they write: The 2.0.1 patch was in truth only saying: You now get matched with people from your region more likely (Ping), but that’s it. Period.
Here a similar thread - not every answer adding ofc:
It’s said there, too about unbalanced match ups in any mode, be it up to level 250 vs 1 or all enemy higher MMR than even the highest of us, which happens all the time. (And don’t take some naysayers for real, they are in any forums nowadays, idk for fun or smth, if there is even Clans calling themselves this nowadays, sigh. ) FYI: Blizz were actively deleting some threads about the MM missing, thus obfuscating the casual readers and fans.
PS:
Yea screenshot every loading screen, and keep the ones where you notice it. I even save those replays in a dedicated folder where ~topic~ is the case. Of course saving good replays, too, cause those are rare - unless you are very good 
As for workarounds: You can find likeminded players in discords or elsewhere(…) for friendly matches and other(…).
