I was just wondering if something has changed this season for how matches are made? I consider myself to be an ok crucible player. Above average, but im not a really amazing pvp player. All the matches I am getting feel like people way above my skill level. Am I just in elo hell for being in between skills, or what gives? Everyone I see is a totally cracked sliding rose user 90% of the time. Or perhaps there are just no casual players anymore? Most days, competitive feels better than the control Playlist, and that just doesn't seem right. If this is just the new norm, it might actually be the first season I don't play pvp unless there's a bright dust challenge.
Anyway, thanks for looking,
Cheers

So the only change they made this season to quickplay PvP matchmaking was re-enabling their "snake draft" lobby balancing system, which had previously been disabled as a bug was causing people on the same fireteam to be placed on different teams. They also adjusted the logic used to create placement matches in Comp for (allegedly) a "smoother" experience during the placement series.
