Ok so... I know the matchmaking is a little screwy atm, but am I in some sort of MMR "Limbo"? either I get a match where I get owned, or I get a match where I own... and when the latter happens it makes me feel terrible. my MMR floats between 1800-1900... average I guess
Matchmaking... Am I in a MMR limbo?

Not enough players atm....player base needs to increase, which I believe it will. Though it may be a slow progression.

Blarg. I'm in a limbo too. Now the lack of games is affecting me at 2100 mmr roughly. The matches I get are basically me, a top 50 player, and assorted others. It turns the game into a kill race when I'm on the top player's team to the point where I struggle to keep up at times and that's no fun.
Stop undermining my opportunistic playstyle with your oddly effective janitor sweeps. I just see them with a broom primary and a dustpan secondary. The enemy team gets swept under the rug.

Kayla, I've watched your stream and I know exactly what will help. In the server browser, servers are rated 1-3 stars based on how your MMR compares to the server average MMR. 3 star servers are a good match, while 2 stars are less good, and 1 star will be furthest from your MMR.
I know the server browser doesn't make this very clear, but 1 star matches are not the matches you should be joining.
Off topic: If you check your stream chat between matches you might catch somebody like me mentioning things like this.
Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

Why mech game make when you no mech game have you don't want to make?

KaylaClaire, you are pretty close to my MMR (1950), so here's what I get from the different star ratings:
3 Stars: A match with a very wide skill spread. I usually fall right in the middle of the MMR range and score range by the end.
2 Stars: A match where I am the lowest MMR player and get my butt stomped.
1 Star: A match where I am the, or one of the highest MMR player(s) and I am almost always on top of the podium.
So, maybe that will help you.

To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

AFAIK: 3 star matches don't necessarily have a wide spread.
2 Star matches are either right above or below your MMR range.
1 star matches are either way above or below your MMR range.

eth0, our experiences are just different then. I barely ever see any variation in the experience I posted. I honestly believe that the way you posted it is how it is supposed to work, but that's not what I see.
