Strange matchmaking - class grouping(?)

I am wondering if I am the only person to notice this.

Empirically, it feels like that for some reason the matchmaking system is now "grouping" classes.

For example, I've carefully observed all the matches I've played yesterday, and it almost feels like that the system is grouping all of one class to one side, and then other classes, and then when one side is filled puts other classes on the other side... and something like that.

It would become something like, all CWs being grouped to one side while all DCs and OPs on the other, sometimes one side has all GWFs and GFs while the other side has all TRs and ranged... considering the frequency this is happening I don't think its just troll premades. I think there might be some problems as to how the system distributes the classes.

Anyone else feel this is happening?

    Seriously? Nobody took notice of this?

    Just last night I've had around two matches, which, this time the system split the CWs and TRs between the two teems, but then put all the GFs and DCs in one team and then put all the OPs and GWFs in the other.

    Does the matchmaking actually have any criteria? This seems to be happening to often to be considered just luck.

    Maybe take a break, go outside. Reduce your caffeine intake?

    TBH, I thought is was due to troll premades. I had fights with 3 GFs and 2 DCs in the other team. When I inspect my own team, at last every 2nd fight, there are some ppl from the same guild. Premade is not just the OP BIS PvP premades, but the low IL ppl queing together, too.
    Chars: CW, DC, GF, GWF, HR and TR.

    No, I find frequently my teams consist of 2 CWs 2 TRs and... sort of random other guy - pally and SW are the most common followed by HRs. GFs and DCs are by far the most rare. On the other hand, the other side frequently has one or two pallies, a DC and an HR.

    This isn't always the case, but it does feel fairly frequent. Not sure about premades, some are partial but rarely a full one. In DOM I usually operate in the page 50-75 range, so some premades pop up, but not that many.

    I don't think that class is considered. I think they take bodies and fill holes randonly, unless there is a premade attending.
