I'm not having this, but I haven't played much in the past week so I could be wrong.

Happened to me like 3 months ago. I was playing 20 minute chess with 500s when I was a 1300-1400 in rapid. I settings did not do anything until like a week later. And like you, I aborted tons of games and then loss the right to abort. I just ended up wasting time playing with 500s, and if you didn't know, probably each on of them play 20 minute chess so they can do something else.

i was playing like 40 minutes ago, i was getting paired with people at my rating range, so idk what ur experiencing.

u need to go into custom settings before looking for a live game and alter the rating range.

No. I just played a 1320 in a random match in rapid and I'm 1770. It's really annoying because I drew

Avatar of EvidentRoad

yeah. its not really worth the risk

Happened to me a week ago, just had to stop playing for a bit honestly. Also make sure your settings are correct.

Avatar of EvidentRoad

yeah i am playing on lichess until this gets fixed

Avatar of siansell

Yep. My rating's typically 2500-2600 and regulary being paired with opponents < 2000 in the 3-minute pool, lowest was 850. Sent a message to support a week ago, no reply. Seem to recall the same happening a year or so ago and I did the same, looks like it's regressed.

I don't like having to abort ever other game so just will stop playing until it's fixed.
