Guild Wars 2

I’m only rank 27, and yet I frequently get matched up with people more than double my rank. It’s utterly disheartening losing game after game to a bunch of dragon and phoenix rank players, and I have no clue whatsoever why I keep getting matched up with people with tons more experience than me

It’s likely because the pvp community is fairly small. Although it could also mean you’ve been winning a lot and that’s inflated your mmr. Either way, while it can be disheartening, so try to look at rank as only a measure of time spent in pvp rather than skill.
