Random Matchmaker does not know what Winning is. The Matchmaker simply pulls from the pool of players which has clicked the Battle button. This allows for the most varied set of experiences over the long-term and allows players to have tens of thousands of battles.
If you'd like to learn more about how our Matchmaker works, please check out this video.
The Brawls Matchmaker and Randoms Matchmaker are different programs.
The Brawls Matchmaker allows for ship type to not be mirrored (example: 1 BB, 1 CA, 1 DD vs 2 BB, 1 CV) and functions by using "# of Wins" as a form of skill-matching metric.
The Randoms Matchmaker requires ship types to be mirrored (in the exception of queue dump/loosen matchmaking as described in the video) and has no skill-matching metric (Randoms are random).

Blowouts are mentioned often, but skill-based matchmaker doesn't address blowouts. Higher-level play is more likely to take a small advantage and roll it into a massive one resulting in a blowout-like condition.
