Would making a rule that new players must play an AI for the first few randomized number of games? That way they could have a chance to gauge the players ability before matching.
Most games do this, you can’t play ranked matches until you’ve played non-competitive ones for a while first, and then you play placement matches where your ELO is allowed to move much farther per game so you dont stay buried in low ranks if you dont belong.
Ranked games tend to be thrown off by high skill players in low ranks, and it tends to even out once you get to the top ranks as the skill gap thins.

Maybe placement matches would help, but if they are intentionally ranking low to stomp on people, I guess they’d throw those matches.
But they wouldn’t know how many of them they would need to throw.
