I would like to hear the suggestions / answers from the community. I lost two pips in a match where I was up against a team who had a diamond. Is that truly fair? Is that how the matching is supposed to go? Attachment provided.

I don’t see anything wrong with you queuing against a diamond as a ruby. It’s only 1 division above you…When I was a diamond I queued against legends every other game…

Pips lost/won is determined by matchmaking and the final score.
Here you got bodied with a 400+ point difference so I guess, based on the expected outcome of this match, the system made you lose two pips.
There are times where I’ve lost. Then, depending on the score either: gained one pip, lost no pips, lost one pip, or lost two pips. I have never lost two pips on a game where we’ve scored at least 350 pts, and likewise have never won a pip in a game where I lost and got bodied.
As far as matchmaking goes. From what I understand GW2 tries to give you a 50% winrate. That means if you’ve won more than you’ve lost you’ll be paired in matches where you should lose. And likewise if you’ve lost more than you won (IE: MMR tanking).
I don’t see anything wrong with +1 or -1 division spread im matches. You have almost certainly won matches where you had all rubies on your side and the other team had a sapphire. The fix for true smurfing is coming soon. Queue times would be extreme if it had to be all of one divison in a match.
Division doesn’t equal skill. I don’t see a huge problem here. The current set up for matchmaking smashes will happen regularly. The announcement of getting rid of team MMR and just matching MMR for teams will make things better, I think, but that is 5-6 weeks away.
