I bought the kto-18 first and did really well in it. Was having a blast for a few days. I have pretty average skill and couldn't believe how well I was doing. Unlocked basic, then bought the other variants.
With those new variants, I can't break 200 dmg or get a single kill. Every game is horribly imbalanced. Veterans/premades vs brand new players who run into the firing squad one at a time like lemmings.
Something broke with the matchmaker in that 1 week time period.
See how different my stats were for those 3 variants:

Went from even win/loss and high KDF to low win/loss and low KDR. Similar builds on all variants, same player and play style.
My ELO might have increased after playing the kto-18, but should the matchmaker perform such a huge over-correction? My ELO should have been stable for mediums anyway, since I used to play them a lot. Unless there was a reset?
Regardless, this is ridiculous. No fun playing a game you don't have a chance to win. I wasted all my free premium time on these horrible mismatches. No way I am spending more money on this game.

edit: i actually bought the kto-18 first, not the kto-19. typo.
