Casual Matching is Broken

I am playing with half of a completed "burn" deck. Legit I have none of the mythics or rares in the deck and I am bronze 2. Yet every fucking game I play with this deck I play against the most overpowered decks. They always have all their shock lands (I have 0). Some have all the shock lands for more than just 1 color. Why am I playing against these decks that are wayyyy stronger than mine. Like i get that this is probably to force me to stop being a f2p and buy packs so that I don't just get stomped, but seriously its making me just wanna stop playing this game. Arena was fun while I was playing against people my skill and would go about 50-50 in my matches, but now losing every game is not fun. This matchmaking needs to be fixed.

Are you playing BO1 ladder? What is your deck list? Just because an opponent has more rares and mythics then yours does not mean their deck is better. Mono red aggro is close to top tier atm so even if your deck is incomplete its deck strength could be quite high.

Also maybe you have just ranked up too high and now you are matching with players who are better then you or have better decks then you on average so there are fewer equal deck strength matches available.

BO1 ladder match making is does not take into account the number of Rares and Mythics in a deck.
