How does normal game matchmaking work? in General Discussion

    Hi. I recently came out of two games that went horribly and both had the same pattern.
    The enemies were just plain better. I don't mean slightly..i mean a lot better.
    When our team had about an 800 hours of play per player average, they all averaged out on about 2.4k in this game

    and 1.7k in this game

    Now i realise that hours of play is not a good metric but it does have a correlation with how well people play.
    I fail to understand what causes these kinds of mis-matches to occur.

    Does normal game matchmaking even exist? If it does then how does it work?

            It's very very complicated and takes forever to explain in detail a better question tho is why do you care? The reason most people want higher lvld games is that they want to have a chance to get better and have a better game.
