Crucible seems to be rigged to keep us at a 40%-60% win ratio

Unlike in D1, I find myself to always caught in a losing match right after I get a crushing win. Happens everytime, literally. Even friends that I have mentioned this to have said the same thing happens to some of their games. Anybody else notice this? Most of the player base that I look up have 40%-60% win ratio. It's rare that I find a player with anymore or less. Regardless how good or bad they may seem. This has begun to kick in really hard since SBMM was put into the game. Edit: to go into more detail, this is about gameplay manipulation. To the point where your asking yourself in gameplay: "How are my hits not registering?" "Why was my grenade canceled out despite me throwing it before I got shot down ?" "How has the other team caught up by that much in such short time? "What's up with my head shots registering as body shots?" Etc...manipulation is the key word on this topic. What are the little things that cause us to stay around a 50% win/lose ratio? I'm sure the answer should be clear now for those who have just read with out giving the topic some thought. To those who understood right away, thank you Edit#2: wow, this is trending. Was expecting more hate to be honest. I'm surprised.

    I had such a bad example of this in the last two days. I was two games away from Mythic 2 now I’m back down to half way through Fabled 3. Just the most god awful performance, dropped team mates, horrible MM, and so on after have a great streak of wins. I’m talking point blank shot gun hits doing no damage, getting hit by all three HC shots at once (or so it seems). Honestly I’ve given up on getting to Legend, not because I don’t think I can do it all things considered equal but there’s just too many shitty games. Maybe some people get lucky and have good performance most of the time but for me it’s just all over the damn place. I think I’d like to see dedicated servers with CBMM. So that even those of us playing from far away would still get matched with players of similar ping. Also routing services could cut down on lag and help stabilize connections. This P2P shit is either really good or really -blam!-ing bad. And I’m a little tired of the variation. I shouldn’t be going from 1 kill and a .2 to 25 kills and a 1.92 and I’m not exaggerating. That’s not skill that’s just connection.
