Why in the holy mother of ♥♥♥♥ doesnt quick play have actual matchmaking

[Esoc]

Its such a crap shoot on whether youll have fun match or be match with bored sweaty comp players

[Orez-Suke]

Unranked (normal and quick) doesn't have any kind of meaningful matchmaking sadly
And it been asked since minimum 4 months to have a matchmaking

I understand beginners because there is no good regimen for them. And it does not like both beginners and more experienced players. Here is an example https://imgur.com/a/MdqEOUy, in the first screenshot there are two beginners with whom I defended as a goalkeeper, but it is extremely difficult to teach them to play, in the third set I showed them how to play forward as best I could, but I could only score 1 goal alone. In the second screenshot, there are also extremely weak players, but by some miracle we managed to win, perhaps the enemy team decided to give in a little, for which I am grateful to them, at the end of the match, they at least began to score. (Sorry, the translation was made through google translate)

it is a massive blunder by the dev team

Yup, I can't blame any new players who quit immediately bc of the matchmaking tbh.

Matchmaking issues are just a consequence of the lack of proper tutorials in the end.
Beginners all make the same simple, fundamental mistakes that have absolutely disastrous effects on a match's outcome. The biggest of them all being passing to enemies.
And it's not their fault, the game doesn't properly teach you to clear shots, keep strike advantage, not fall back and chase the ball when you lose a trade (it's your goalie's job), nor use elusive/core flip.

It's not like in other games where a bad player just underperforms and you just can't trust them to do their job properly. In Omega Strikers, there is no difference between an opponent, and a teammate who passes to opponents. You are not playing 2v3, you are playing 2v4.
It gets further exacerbated when it's a forward who hugs their goalie constantly and sabotages them. I'd take an amazing enemy zentaro with all buttons and 75 energy right in front of my goal/gate, over an unpredictable """second goalie""" juno teammate who chokes me and blocks all of my clear paths with her uncontrolled ult slimes, any day.

Lower end players actually break the game and make it unplayable for everyone else. They are just thrown into the jungle of a complex teamplay game without even having learned their fundamentals. The game does nothing to help them, and they can't learn from other players due to the lack of chat.

Matchmaking in normals/qp is needed but it's just a band-aid solution that will come with its own load of rot if the root of the problem isn't taken care of first.
