If more ppl would play the game this issue wouldn ' t be there , they fill up the games with all tier if no other player in your bracket is online . P . S english is not my first language <| sep |> That ' s the only response there can be without being presumptuous though . There is no indication that your teammates aren ' t usually better or opponents usually worse . You can ' t have a sample of 1 match and then extrapolate . I know these players aren ' t among the worst players because they fucking stomped us . Of course it ' s possible their prior performance numbers are extremely low but no scenario in which that is the case is due to the skill of those players and we ' re talking about the best indicators of skill and I think level is the best indicator . These players could have shit prior performance rankings for a few reasons , maybe they were in some anomalous games where there were only extremely good players and thus their performance didn ' t appear to be good statistically or maybe they were fucking around , trolling , playing intentionally bad etc . This actually only bolsters my point because it would indicate a failure of prior performance as an indicator of skill . The likelihood that these extremely high level players are just really awful skillwise but are just having the games of their lives against us is so low that I think it ' s negligible and I ' m happy to say that purely on the basis of this game but it does help that AU has a small playerbase and I know these players and they ' re always monstrously good .
