Placement Matches
there is a hidden MMR even in the placement matches.

I’m aware, I’m asking if Anet believes this to be fair? Regarding how heavily placement matches are weighted, I feel it’s asking quite a lot to beat a team with several top 10 players when the highest rated on urs is top100, the rest are no names (who are not even on the leaderboard to begin with), and u havent even placed yet.
As it stands right this moment, I can’t even queue because I’m not duo’d and I’m being matched against top 10, FOR PLACEMENTS.

I haven’t had a problem much this season but one game I was set to break into platinum and got with a duo who had never pvpd before. Gave them a crash course in home/don’t go far but wasn’t going to win that by any means.

I wouldn’t mind that at all, if both sides had relatively equal ratings; I’ve already done placements like this on 2 other accounts, however I had a duo, and only got matched against Toker / Wakkey, kitten / Kat, Caed / Nos, maybe 6/10 matches. Placing into plat3 with 8/2.
Right now, I’m guaranteed to get queued against similar teams, but am solo, with less than top 250 caliber players on my side. I wouldn’t even mind THAT, if I had already placed; but that’s not the case.
Now because I lost 2 games, AGAINST TOP 10, I’m being put with gold players, against plat 2 and 3 players.
Like most rating/elo based systems the system actually is good and people are mostly just upset because they overestimate themselves and think they should be higher.
But in this case I agree, the placement matches are way too much of an influence. Each one seems to be worth 200~ or so rank points which is just absurd and can place lucky/unlucky players in totally wrong brackets…and since normal games are worth a lot less it takes a long time to climb/fall where you should be. So matchmaking will be screwed over for a while until things settle because too many people are not in the right league at all.
