Fix the buggy matchmaking system, please

So I have this issue that I keep seeing the same players over and over, no matter if I fight or skip them. And the problem is they all have lower points than me. So it is impossible for me to even get to 400 points. I hit them, get 10 ish points, they hit back, blam, -30.
How can I compete in this situation?

    Yup, this happened to me the other day (one of the Double Shots I think?). I was in a high scoring bracket, and all my potential opponents had significantly fewer points. It can be really frustrating. They need to loosen up the matchmaking, add a bit of slip to it. Getting the same six opponents again and again stinks.
  • In my bracket, top player named Nick Fury had 700+ points till the end. Other top 10s only have around 400.
    I keep matchmaking with those same players since the lightning rounds. I can even remember all their names now...

    In my second NHB bracket, I was the guy with a huge lead on everyone for a while. Then I got attacked down to size later on; my 69 Thor / 53 Bullseye / 40 Widow Modern team must have looked like easy prey to the people with higher level characters. (I kept using Skip until I could fight someone with lower leveled characters than mine.) I ended up in the top 10...
  • Yeah, I have to agree the system is stupid. Why the hell does it have to keep matching me to Lv85 teams? There are dozens of Lv 50 teams out there, and it just refuses to assign one to me.

    Thanks, I've read that. Hope they can fix this before launching next pvp event.

    I doubt it. Sounds like they have been aware of it for some time. It may not be a simple solution. Nice to know they are at least aware of it, though.

    Both nontrivial and non-server side, yes. So it's going to take a bit unfortunately.
