Preventing overpowering matchups

[Soumik Hore]

I often find myself facing either complete noobs(who may have played 1/2 games), who end up trying to shoot at me through obstacles(instead of jumping and avoiding them), or pros, who are much higher ranked than me, with access to some pretty awesome weapons, which could give them the outright lead in just one shot(though that is a rarity, but it still happens). So, here's what I propose:
When matchups are made, a player should only be able to fight someone in their same X0 level category(X=0,1,2...)
What I mean is that a person ranked 13(X=1) can only fight someone ranked between 11 and 19(X=1 again). This way, the matches are more competitive and balanced.

But but but.. I told you already this is how it is set o.o

It is?!!
Well, I'm level 12 now, and I seem to face plenty of beginners, in the <10 category(who completely ignores walls while shooting)

Hi Soumik!
As the game is only in soft launch, we won't restrict the games too much, but in the future we might restrict them further to make it more even.

Regarding the filtering, I was also thinking about some filtering based on the ping of the gamers in question. That way, the issue of lags can be reduced. But then again, it would involve too many filters, and no something I would recommend until the game's properly launched and has adequate users

I like your idea.
