Maybe y'all will finally believe the matchmaking is as simple as rating and timestamp

I can see being annoyed by this, but really nothing more.  Also, my guess is game play lower on weekends (no data or evidence of course lol)

I take advantage of the phenomenon to rematch with myself during off-season.  I avoid whale rematches by counting to 10 (or cursing solonar, predator, and mercurial gear) before starting next match.  

Yeah.... that's not how it works. Good guessing though. Just so that you know, that 4th match, I waited 45 seconds before hitting the button. Even if the other guy did the exact same thing, again, there should be thousands of other players I could have matched against.

Also, the whole "rating" matching is pure BS. I've been matched to other players that had a season score with over a 200 point difference and a personal score with a 5k difference. So your point is moot.

I've never seen 4 in a row.  I assumed there was a "3 in a row" cap. 

I think my record is 6 or 7 of 10 against myself 😆 

Definitely have gotten 4 in a row
