lol, I was going to come in here and tell you off but that matchmaking couldn't be worse. I would have just dropped before the match started. 

Sometimes you get a bot fight, other times you are the bot  :)

In all seriousness, these 1 off examples are meaningless.  Over 100 battles you are going to have 10-20 mismatched badly against you and an equal amount in your favor. It's not that big of deal, it happens to all of us.

I only had 2 of 10 yesterday where I was higher rated, and quit the last one.

10 more to show matchmaking is fine

There are a lot of complaints about match-making in Live, but I mostly ignore them, and the more Live I played, the more I felt like I understood the match-making:  If I win more fights, I will get progressively tougher opponents, but as I lose fights, I will get weaker opponents, with a algorithmic push to roughly even out the win/loss ratio, and drive more players ever higher in the ranks.

That was until I cracked into G4 last week. My entry to G4 has been consistently the worst matchmaking I have seen in my entire experience in Live.  Almost to the point that I think it is broken for the first time.  Not necessarily matchmaking as a whole, but quite possibly matchmaking at the transitions from one tier to the next.  In four of my first five G4 fights, I was served up on a platter to a top 50 Live player, including the #1 ranked player, so I would win my last fight in G3, promote, and then immediately demote.  Once is an anomaly, twice is a head-scratcher, but four times out five strains the bounds of statistical probability.

After the second time, I scanned the top 100 players, and my first two opponents had the two highest win ratios out of the entire list at 87% & 88%.  In no reasonable match-making should a middling LA player with a 54% win ratio be matching against the winningest players in all of Live for his first fights in G4.

For the first 3-4 days, literally every time I crossed into G4 I would get over-matched, lose dreadfully, fall to G3, and then get matched with someone at the very bottom of G3, who I would decimate and promote back to G4, only to have the same thing happen to me.  

Now that I have been banging on the door of G4 for a week, match-making seems mostly back to normal the last couple of days, with my opponents ranging from 4900-6000, and I managed to string together enough wins to climb to 4825, but the transition was a bumpy ride.
