What is wrong with this game? Today I got a game, my rank 1664 vs 1182(link to a game https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/22344624789)

My question is, is it ok that this is even happening, and is there are any ways to avoid this?

What do you mean? When you outrank someone by nearly 500 points, you have a very high chance of winning. As a result, you can't gain a lot of points.

yes, but why it's even getting me this opponents? once I was playing vs guy who was like 300 points lower than me, but got like 15 games, and I lost to him, losing many points. In my understanding, game shouldn't find you opponents with this big points difference, I can't remember any games with MMR, that was working like this. There thousands of people playing this game, Im ok to wait for a few more seconds in queue, but to play a real game, not vs guy who is 500 points lower than me

Very rarely it pairs people like that. I don’t see it often.

And it's hard to reproduce keeping own disconnection rate high enough…
