I don't get how you're getting matched up against these people. I'm a ways down from you on the top 100 list, and I get matched up almost entirely with other Super Titans, mostly from the top 100 or people who end up showing up on the following top 100 list. If I have a long enough matchmaking wait, the lowest rank I get matched up against is someone at the top of their Masters level division.

Out of curiosity, are you playing from the Philippines? Maybe the usual time you start your matches is way out of synch with typical US playtimes, giving you a way wider "you've been waiting a long time!" matchmaking window than normal?

My bet is he only gets matched up with other top 5 players, but because that pool is so small he often gets kicked to the wider range. I am rank 8 and have never had this problem, so I think the system sees me in a different skill range than p1noyboy. My most recent matchups are ReggaeKing, Alvendor, Harti!, none in top 5.
