I by no means consider myself a good player with around 800 kills total across all legends and 0.65 K/DR starting mid way through season 5.
Yet I'm consistently matched against players that are clearly more skilled and experienced with 5k+ kill on one legend and 20 kill badges that destroy me in game in trios.
After reasonably balanced games in gold in which I would occasionally get 3 or 4 kills and the odd win as well as -24 RP games. now that I'am in platinum I'm matched against high platinum/diamond players which stomp on me like in the trios having significantly higher skill/experience level.
Would this be considered balanced matchmaking? Is it reasonable to put players with such an obvious skill/experience gap against weaker players?
Anyone else having the same issues? I notice that the matchmaking is very quick however maybe it would be more beneficial to have a longer queue time to better balance the games?
Thanks for reading.

Thank you. I only really played ranked because it felt more balanced than trios that was until I reached Platinum. I don't expect to always be the big fish in a small pond as to speak and I'm not worried about RP and what league I'm in. I'm more interested in having a good experience. Yes there are games you lose with 0 kills and barely any damage dealt but the odd game with a kill or two also when you feel you have a decent chance makes up for it. When you go ten games in a row and it results in 0 kills and around 200 damage per game or less it makes it really difficult to want to ready up and jump in again.
I also get you can have times where you don't perform well. Tired from work, feeling slow, poor mentality etc. however recently it has become regular for me at least that the games feel very unbalanced. It's not a massive game breaking issue but its one that will always be questioned. I just wanted to give some feedback.

Maybe a longer queue time to help balance the games would be beneficial. I wouldn't mind waiting an extra minute to be able to have a more balanced game with people around my skill/experience level.
