I've been having an issue lately with chess.com matchmaking systems. It keeps on putting me against opponents who are either extremely below my rating (-100) or against opponents who are extremely above my rating (+200-500). It's never around mine and I want to know if any of you guys have noticed this or experienced this.

I just looked at your last 20 and all but 2 were within 100 points.

That's because the lowest you can get is 100, so if I'm 180 playing against a 100 player then obviously it's not going to be within 100 points. If you go way back the system apparently thought it was good to put me against a 500-600 rated player.
