I have a friend who used to play TG with me and some more, reaching 1600 ELO, but in 1vs1 he isn't much than 700. When he got into his FIRST ranked ever in 1vs1, he was set against a 1300. Loses easy. Then 1250. Loses easy. Then 1200. Loses. Then 1150. Loses. Then 1100. Loses... Then he gets bored and stops playing ranked.
That can't be good for anyone.
When you start playing a game, you first go for the "Easy" level. Then, you got excited and wanna try hard. Not the opposite way.
Maybe is not only matchmaking, maybe it's the ELO system being poorly used.
