I've had people tell me before that anarchy matchmaking can be more or less a coin flip and I was mildly annoyed by those comments because it felt like they were trying to make excuses for me to make me feel better and since I was trying to identify my mistakes/weaknesses I didn't find that feedback useful. I still don't feel like it's useful but I'm starting to think that maybe it's not necessarily incorrect.

But I think what prompts this is that lately my awareness has been improving, and whereas before I felt like I could barely tell what was going on at any given moment, I feel like I have a better grasp on what is going on now and can tell when I've just been put up against people who vastly out-skill me or just have teammates that are as confused and lost as I was not even half a rank ago.
