Big opponents variance in Arena quick draft (lemmy.world)

Just wanted to share my encounters and hear if others experience similar. Sometimes I face god tier opponents who have perfect decks. It doesn't even feel that bad to lose to them. But then I get matched against someone who plays 60-cards deck (in a draft). It's a wild ride. Not always. But sometimes, consistently. Who are these people? Has ane1 seen something similar?

What league are you in (or more specifically, your opponents)? Bronze has a lot of variability, as some of them are new drafters, and some might have just skipped a set and dropped down to bronze again. It's also near the end of a draft format, so there may be fewer people playing, causing a greater mismatch in your and your opponent's ranks.

If both you and your opponents are in silver+ leagues, I'd be surprised, but this isn't unusual for bronze.
