Low elo daily games has terrible matchmaking

Hi everyone,

I'm a bit annoyed with the matchmaking in daily/correspondence games. I've started recently playing chess, so I only got 3 games in the book, but in all 3 of them, I was playing against someone who was almost triple my Elo :

And, not to mention, right now I'm playing against someone who is 900 and plays insanely well who has 1500 Elo in bullet lol.

I was just wondering if this is common or normal and why this is happening ? I try to tell myself that it is good practice but at the same time it's a bit demoralizing.

Thanks guys

Daily games can be accepted by anyone that has compatible seeks settings. You can modify what your range is
