It also makes no sense because levels don ' t represent how skilled a player is . A level 30 player ' s skill can vary from terrible to godlike . This is a fallacy just because a lvl 30 can vary from shit to godlike doesn ' t mean that overall , player level isn ' t a good proximate indicator of skill . I think the massive issues this game has with balance show whatever their previous performance ranking algorithm is , it ' s a shit indicator of skill . Moreover , just anecdotally whenever I ' m in a game with horribly unbalanced teams level correlates almost perfectly to which team is doing way better and which team is doing way worse . And as I said if you look like at my screenshot it ' s obvious that the lvl 109 , 54 and 37 should not all be on the same team . Even if you think lvl is a poor indicator of skill you must concede there ' s a point at which it ' s not , like 2 lvl 100 one 1 team vs a team with noone above 40 a scenario I ' ve gotten is obviously going to result in a stomp and if the algorithm is allowing that to happen then it ' s not weighting level enough , simple as that .
