I am routinely getting matched with players 160+ higher ELO. Is there something wrong with ranked matchmaking or is this now normal? I never win and the opponent always completely annihilates me and I never feel like I had any chance. I dont think my ELO drops much because it was a mismatch from the start. I check the ELO of my opponent and sure enough it is way higher. The match making used to be good, used to be players of similar ELO. What happened? I would rather just stay in que than be matched against an opponent I have no chance of winning against. It goes without saying the opponent will be Norse 90% of the time, or 10% China (dont remember ever having beaten China, ever at least Norse can be beaten), following by insulting me when they win, doing cheat strategies like moving servant so I cant build a dock which isn’t too fun either. Are there any normal people who want to play a fair game?

Honestly, it happens quite rarely. In general, for example, I’m at 1200 elo and I often come across elo 1100 or 1300 in the worst cases. Today I came up against an elo of 1500, which was really the first time I’d come up against such a big difference. Of course, I got knocked down, but it didn’t bother me any more than that, as long as it was anecdotal.
