Well, it wasn't the case before +1lvl ChL draws were introduced.
It wasn't the case even in the first seasons of those draws.
But season after season I'm being put in a stronger and stronger poule to the extent that this time (being lvl 15) I have to compete with the strongest lvl 16 teams which tanked last season.

It's not that I'm crying out that I want weaker opponents.
But I know the draw could be more equal since some of my ingame friends (with similar Q) are put in ChL with teams within their reach.
Instead of mixing lvls the system could draw teams within the same lvl whenever the posiibility, as in the case of my server f.e.

So yes, I don't think it is fair.
