Hello, welcome to my thread. I am ZarenGaming72 (formerly known as open dragon 332 on Xbox live) and I have just a couple of complaints that have already been discussed before, so without any further introduction, let me jump straight into what I would like to talk about.
#1: skill level.
I'm pretty sure this has been brought up a couple of times, but, I'm honestly getting really tired of matchmaking always putting me into games that I have no chance at winning at ( I.e. going against players that are way higher level than me, and also, some of the times being teamed up with players who haven't played the game much either )
Anyway, what I am saying is that the matchmaking pairing is rediculous and down right obnoxious. Tonight, I joined 5 different lobbies, and every lobby I joined paired me up against people who were 5x better than my skill level, and since I am unable to leave due to matchmaking penalties, I'm forced to watch my *** get kicked all over the battlefield. Only on rare occasions am I paired up against people who are the same skill level as me, and it's all because of the matchmaking design thinking that it can find the perfect match in seconds. I have no idea why you (UbiSoft) decided that it would be a good idea to make matchmaking only look for 15 seconds before deciding "whatever, make him go against people who have played ever since launch" why did you ever think this was a good idea?
#2: p2p servers.
Again, another stupid idea. Even on the rare occasions where I am paired up against people I can actually have a chance at killing, it usually ends up in the host leaving the server, causing everyone in the match to get kicked out. Great. Ubisoft, why did you choose peer to peer servers. About 3 out of 5 lobbies I join end up being canceled due to the host rage quitting ( probably because they got paired up against people who are better than them at the game ) and forcing me to restart the lengthy search for finding a game again.
UbiSoft, please. In your next updates to for honor, fix matchmaking to have it be the right experience for everyone. (I'm pretty sure some of the better players are tired of always killing noobs in a couple of shots too. )

#1:
This is rather strange. For me, it takes quite a while until it finds a match, and I can see how it will change the Skill range settings.
It starts with "Your skill setting" or something like that, then goes to "Extended Skill range" to "All skill ranges".
Afterwards, it will also loosen up the region settings from "Your region" to "all regions".
It should take at least 30 secs until it goes to "All skill ranges", so if you are matched agains much higher players within 15 secs, something is off.
Most of the time (I am from EU), it will go all the way up to "All regions", but most of the time, I then get on the next screen the "On par with your team, on par with you enemies" (though sometimes, that is not quite true. I can see at least on person on the enemy team that is clearly better than me, also I see that on my team that there are people that are clearly better).
