Are you having problems with lower ranked players on your team or against you?

How the hell am i supposed to understand this question?^^
Obviously, i'm talking about global bad matchmaking, regardless my team or ennemies' team.

If that fails, apparently it will try to match a better and a worse player against two mediocre players. Now, how much better and worse the first two can be in order to create an even match would be incredibly hard to determine. And then we have the problem of AT versus randoms. Are the ELOs comparable and if not, how large is the advantage for the the AT?

I totally agree with you about how hard it is possible to adjust the research system about cases your mentionned.
However, I just tried yesterday to restart every minute the research. At the third try, i matched in 30 sec with a top 200 vs a top 500 and 600. Guess what happened? So as luvnest said, there isnt a large pool of player but; how is it possible to find players so quickly for such an unbalanced match? I believe we would rather wait for 5 min more than play this kind of game.

Yes, i agree.
First, i'm obviously not talking about placement match. Random in this case is clear for placing you in ladder. You need to face a large sample of players.

Second, there is a lack of players, indeed. That's why to my mind there is less and less decent players as well. So maybe an update could be usefull. ( like more promote longer research time to drop with same levels than match with unbalanced stats and waste your time as well for 10 min, for example).

I believe the ratio skill and rank isnt linear after like top 200. But if the matchmaking is still considering a top 500 as decent player, and drop with top 100 players, then it's instant BG after 5 min for 95% of cases.

im not targetting only you when im talking about core units suggestions. It's cool mate.
But you said something funny here about DSHK. ^^
Before GCS, there was a lot of abuse with DSHK. Like there was a lot of abuse with M4C.

Seriously, this entire topic is way ridiculous... listening stupid suggestions from 4v4, talking about examples in particular games, not even focusing on real unbalance.
You are not even trying to balance the game, you are changing it everytime, not exactly same thing.
I know you can't balance correcly this game.
On SC2, it's hard with only 3 factions and they only try to balance the 1V1 mode. How do you expect to do great job by changing everything at the same time on 5 factions with more than 6-7 doctrine every one in 1v1 2v2 3v3 and 4v4. Good luck mate ^^
However, you still can try... But process step by step with real logic construction.
Unabalance is most of the time due to OP doctrine like Land Matress doctrine for british for example. We don't ask you to cancel everything, but it would be nice to work on price and timing only. Make a patch and wait for feedbacks for 1 or 2 changes. It's like trying to find a frequency on radio but doing it by modifying amplitude, scale, frequency or anything else at the same time. I still wonder how you can be surprised by unexpected feedbacks.
SO... i know it can be arrogant to say my following words but 4v4 opinion isnt interesting at all, Sorry folks. I'm repeating but this entire discussion is pointless, plus people in 4V4 are like 95% of the time not as good as a top 500 in 2v2 or 1v1.
In conclusion, even if we agree about OP units according decent players in 1v1 or 2v2, only change timing or price as first step; and don't allow 3v3 4v4 players to claim patchs.
