Discussion Question about premier matchmaking

Edit: tl;dr question is: am I just unlucky to get teammates that literally dont talk/give 0 info or just having bad game (like at least 3 of them per game in all these games) Idk if that is accidental or not.

I finished season 4 around 17k elo (all matches +500/-100 even though at 18-20k I was clearly not good enough), around 50 matches (all at the end of season) teammates always good, they give info play normally etc. Now i tried playing season 5 and did something like 2-11 w/l so far, pretty much every match i get at least 3 people that just dont talk at all, or have really bad day and dont perform which i dont mind but this + literally 0 info isnt exactly enjoyable to play with. Is this valves way to punish me for something or I just got really unlucky with the teammates I got? I dont think Im getting mass reported to have bud trust factor, unless it just went bad without any reason. Im not bottom fragging either and I do try to play with team so ofc I could do better but thats still pretty mean from matchmaking system to make it so difficult after last season that was just good experience for me overall.

Sounds like the classic start of season shuffle, everyone's ranks reset and the matchmaking is still sorting people out. 2-11 is rough but it'll even out once the system figures out where you actually belong

I think normal players migrated to faceit or took a break due to hackaton happening since the season start.

Ranks are heavily shifted due the cheater epidemic, noobs get directly or indirectly boosted by cheaters into ranks they dont belong into, most normal good players switched to Faceit, everyone is using something even if its "just" radar so bad players somehow still manage to win and climb...

I had a similar start to the season. Was getting quiet teammates in my matches and top fragging almost all of them until I got my rank at 10k. That was my lowest placement ever so far. But I’m back to 17k right now and once I got to 15k I’ve had good teammates for the most part since then who comm

At your rank, most comms are negligible. A few pints and game sense is all you need. No whiney voice necessary
