I swear to God over the last 3 months it has degraded to the point where I am being matched almost exclusively with seedy new accounts with low games played

No matter what time control the accounts play is always super abnormal in rating and playstyle and turn times, and it's ONLY new accounts that do this.

Their ratings are always all over the place (gaining and losing 200 mmr every few days outside of placements) and just everything about them feels seedy and wrong.

The moment I match up against an account that's like over a year old, their play is consistent and everything feels fine. They don't change their playstyle at the snap of a finger, if they are bad at the start they are bad the whole game, if they are good with an aggressive attack they continue to be aggressive.

But seriously playing chess.com has its own problems, but nothing like this.
