There's no such thing as a perfect matchmaking system.
A strong matchmaking system tends to output games that on average tend to be pretty darn good. However, this doesn't mean that it's impossible for bad matches to be made. Even in the best matchmaking systems, about 2% of games might still be lopsided with a large Elo or Win differential.

Something like this isn't supposed to happen, right? The difference in experience is INSANE.
Even if the new matchmaking system never existed... a match like this is NEVER going to be a balanced match!
