Since the change to World's Edge there is something wrong with the matchmaking. I'm a noob in my third season, last split I got to gold 1, I'm still learning, but now I'm all the time with predators, master, diamonds, the majority of them are really high level. It's great to learn but very difficult to rankup. I used to make some kills in every game, now it's really hard. I would love to fight them but once I deserve to be in that lobbies.

Seems like this is an issue they're looking into: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Matchmaking/m-p/12227443/highlight/true#M229835
Hopefully it'll be fixed soon so players can enjoy matches within their skill level again.

@XHelperZ Within the past few days, I've noticed the matchmaking has been getting better. I'm able to actually win fights and teammates aren't as terrible. However, cheaters and high ranked players are still getting into lobbies they should never even be allowed in. A lot of high ranked players just skip rank for a few seasons or purposely lose matches just to get put into gold and below lobbies.
In the picture below, we got the following:
Loba: They're technically smurphing as they're a masters player, playing in a silver rank, within a gold lobby. They were also cheating, (aimbot/wall hacks/anti-recoil)
Valk: Is a level 55 account aka smurphing. Loba beamed me into a deathbox before I saw Valk and Bangalore, so I couldn't tell if they were cheating as well
Bangalore: Had a higher level than Valk, possibly cheating as well
All 3 of them had one word in their usernames that was in common. I won't say what word that was due to the "no naming and shaming", however I will say that all 3 usernames suggested that they were playing on the same team. Two usernames indicated they were a parent, (Loba and Bangalore), and one indicated they were a child, (Valk). I have no way of knowing if they're family or friends and it doesn't matter anyways. What does matter is the fact that while matchmaking is getting better, it has a lot of things to sort out.
Edited: Next game's teammates and champion team below. My matchmaking has officially switched back to "congrats, you're in pred lobbies, good luck!" I really enjoyed the change in the matchmaking these last few days as it revived my enjoyment in the game, but back to getting stomped by high ranking players, TTVs, sweats, smurphs, and cheaters. Oh and, players are once again DDOSing the servers. Nothing but lag when trying to fight certain teams and the lag magically stops when they kill you or when your whole team disengages from the fight.

I've read a couple post here and there claiming the solo que Mm has improved in pubs but not ranked or with a pre made team.
Last night was the first time playing since the new Mm update so I personally don't have enough to say yes or no, but considering how my solo que arena matches went before joining Midnight, I'd agree. Of course I'd have to play more before giving a definite opinion in case things change and those matches were just lucky.
But I do wonder, did the new Mm not get implemented to ranked? Or to pre-made teams?
