I have thousands of games logged. Hours daily. At this point, I'm pretty sure my metrics are better than PGI's. But I wouldn't take them as gospel.
But when I get two 8 manz in a row, against the same exact guys, that tells me something's up. This got pretty silly last night, when we were fighting two groups twice each in very short order.
I've seen such behavior even in World of Warcraft when entering queue for Arena. I've seen the same in Dota 2.
Many matchmaking systems have a tendency to match people who enter the system at similar (or the exact same, in the case of timed drops) time.
That isn't to say there might not be a lack, but dropping against the same teams a few times in a row isn't unheard of even in well populated games.
