[2021] Level 18 and 28 matched against Level 160s: This matchmaking should not happen.

https://smite.guru/match/censored/YXHbkYdAA

This is a match I played earlier today in Clash. A party of a level 18 and a level 28 player got matched with level ~120 solos against a team of two parties, of which party 1 had two level 160s and a level 67, and party 2 had a level 142 and a level 146 player.

I get that parties kinda break the matchmaking, and a lot of my games have been solos against two parties (which itself is unbalanced), but the only massive level difference within a party is the two 160s and the 67, which itself shouldn't cause issues as the level 67 is well beyond the level 30 soft cap for match making, so how is there a party of only sub-30s in this match? And how did it then decide that the severely inexperienced party be teamed with three solos against two parties? Being in a party is already often a huge advantage due to comms and experience playing with others before, so why does the matchmaking see this as balanced?

This shouldn't happen. My understanding is that there's a soft cap of level 30 before players can match against level 30+ players, although this gets broken by parties either side of the boundary. Trying to learn the game and potentially a new god whilst the other team are near-full coordinated and almost definitely have over 1,000 hours in the game each is likely a horrible and disheartening experience in a game designed to be fun.

For context of this game, this was EU at around 10pm GMT on a Monday, so not necessarily a time when there aren't enough players to make fair-ish matches.
