Iāve noticed this also. Most of my builds are 10k, I am more likely to play against 14k builds than 10k. Doesnāt matter, I still shoot the same.

On PC, the X899 trick still works pretty well, but itās by no means fool-proof. I often get several matches in a row where Iām the top-dog, but then it breaks & goes to me being dropped in a match with people multiple thousands higher than myself. 
Then, there are the builds that always get the MM ugly stickā¦

Well this happens a lot now, even solo. Running under 9k will grab these lobbies all the time, this may look cherry picked but it was genuinely my latest <9k scoreboard screenshot in the folder.
Then if I play 12k I get this:
It seems like running under 10k is now more efficient than running under 9kā¦ the limit of what 9k would grab seems to be what 10k now grabs, on Xbox at least.

Lances or Fortunes, all power scores.
Not cherry picked at allā¦ way back, I mentioned that kind of PS spread, and certain folks on here insinuated I was lying. So, I shared some screenshots of examples even worse than what you have & the insinuations stopped.
There are tricks to get the MM bullying to stop - if you want it to stop, but theyāre not guarantees.
One is to just return to garage the second the lobby timer starts. Thatāll generally give you a new group of players to play against.
The other is to just switch to a completely different build.
Iām convinced the game tracks your performance in certain builds & the MM goes all nutzo if youāre successful with one. That actually makes sense, so I donāt really mind.
I can handle 1 -2k PS spreads, but when youāre getting hit with 3 to 5k, thatās just helpless & hopeless unless youāre already seal-clubbing.

Canāt say that I have ever gotten stuck on invisible decor with them. Most of the stuff I use to get stuck on or in theyāve fixed and were very visible lol i.e trees, posts, inside of boatsā¦ So now itās pretty much safe to drive it fairly recklessly like a graceful madhamster.

At 10k I often get in matches with 14k, sporadically 18kā¦
Especially if I leave the lobby the MM seems to just slam you into the first slot available.
