EW has a new ladder. Everyone start as new player with 1000 elo on the ladder. Currently kind of everyone can match against everyone. This will settle down in a few days after many players find their real spot on the ladder.
The same was true when DE just started. So it is just some days and some games which can be one sided, but after these games, it will function like the RM 1v1 ladder, which is pretty good.
Note: After writing this post, i understand your game crAshes, instead of you getting crUshed. Not sure why, but the full multiplayer experience is today bad. I even made the following thread about this:
Or do you experience a different kind of crash?
