I wish they'd change the rank from helpless to couldntcareless.
Yepp. Or just remove it from the main game.
The player level is not related to matchmaking because it doesn't determine your skill but the time you put in CQC. FDEV uses hidden values to determine your skill level which work similar to ELO, however we don't know the exact mechanics because they don't want to make the system exploitable.
There is a dev comment somewhere but I'm too lazy to look for it.

I just take CQC for what it is, a bit of fun. also, the "starting" level 1 ship and load out is not that much worse than the later stuff anyway. Dont get me wrong, my initial "wow I am actually quite good at this" has gone, and even now i am still only in the teens level wise and lose more than i win, but ED, even CQC is hardly an esport. IMO enjoy it and do not take it so seriously. The penalty for destruction is zero, but the skills you will learn may help you in the main game.
I was very dubious about CQC, however I have to say personally I have completely uturned and - so long as all assets filter into the main game - which i believe is happening in 1.5 (citation needed!) then its all good imo

I've spent about 20 hours in CQC so far and my rank there is already higher than what I got in other categories since 2014 (I'm half-way through ''professional'' which equals to ''expert'' combat rank). I like to see it exactly where they've put it
Guess my skill level is too high, which explains why it's so hard to find games now. 
Either that or matchmaking is completed screwed up. Would be nice to get into more games. About 4-5 hours spent yesterday trying to get into games. Played maybe 2-3 games total in that time.
It needs more work and more people will hopefully play, it's loads of fun when you actually get into a good match.

+1 to remove it from the main game rankings.
Only if I play early on a weekend can I get any CQC in my timezone. Then I'm still up against L20-L42 players.
Get into the fight and direct hits don't register until I'm under 1k of the target.
It's just not worth taking the time away from the real game for that kind of frustration.
Bring on the Horizons beta...

I just now started today.... and ive been killing lvl 30+ people with no problem. Im level 18 now after a few hours.... sooo im gonna say its not the game, but its you.
@Makasuro, i think the matchmaker is just trash. Ive only been able to join basic Deathmatches. Other two modes ive waited almost 20 minutes and still no match....

Possibly. I'm pleased for you being so good at a game which has nothing whatsoever to do with Elite. Put it on your CV
