Daily Matchmaking Is Terrible

I play a ton of Dailies. My elo is around 1000 in dailies. Lately ive been frustrated with this matchmaking though, because out of 10 daily games, at least 6 of them are with sub 600 players. These are games I always win, and gain little to no ELO off of. 

Its not that I mind playing against these people, Elo is Elo, but I prefer a challenge. I play chess primarily to break up my work day and keep my mind engaged. With all due respect to Chess.com's algorithms, either your insulting what little ability I do have, or almost no one plays dailies. I dont know which one it is, but short of aborting these games, I dont know what else to do.

Is it just me? Or is there some sort of issue here?

You can change your seek settings.

You can also change the Minimum Games option to not match with new accounts
