Some skills in tarkov are just unfair tbh. I like the idea of leveling them but whenever someone can literally hear better than me because they grinding the game out longer is a problem. I’m not a great player but damn it’s annoying (I joined late this wipe)

I couldn't disagree more, the matchmaking in hunt is incredibly fucked and if anything contributes more to how badly punishing it is.

Practically anyone who is not awful, like "barely played any FPS in their life", is in 5* rating. Myself for example included - A few hundred hours played and barely an even 1.08 KD. Without "cheap" kills - traps, shotguns, lucky headshots etc, it would be negative. Took me about two years of playing to get one hundred headshot kill achievement. So I'm barely average, if even that.

Literally exactly a week ago I was in a match against delaney, a streamer with 11k hours played in hunt. Extremely good player, extremely good aim and map knowledge, can wallbang headshot you like no other. I have absolutely not even remotely any sort of chance to win a fight against him, probably not even a 3v1 with my mates.

My point being, in 5* MMR you have anything from like below to barely average players like myself, but then also people genuinely good at the game, with thousands of hours played etc. The difference between me and them is likely significantly larger than say me and a 3* player. But you're in the same MM bracket and will have to face them consistently.
