No. But what is possible is that it do a heck of a lot better job at it than it's doing now. Either that or you explain to me why so many level 38 captains seem to struggle to win at 200 infamy. Is it really the brand new captains in their mark 1 boats that are decimating these level 38 captains in their M5 boats? Perhaps we should take a closer look at just how far from "perfect" the actual situation is, eh?
Visually, what Warrior 1 looks like is this.

Looking at that regression line, at 0 infamy I would expect a level 20 captain. I'm not sure what you'd expect for a level 1 captain but the math works out to an infamy of negative 2400 infamy. As I remember my level 1 captain I started at 0 and quickly worked up.
Making this more direct,
the correlation coefficient between level and infamy is 0.14 -- not correlated or extremely weakly correlated.
Let's go over that again. There is
no meaningful relationship between level and infamy in the Warrior Div 1 data set. You can call that "imperfect" if you'd like. I'm going to go ahead and call it what it is... "completely broken". Your claim is that skill is what accounts for the lack of correlation. I'm guessing you'll find few here who will agree that a captain in a M2 shooter is likely to be so much better than a captain in a M5 shooter with E40+ gear that the skill balances out the gear. That's ludicrous on the face of it. Using your analogy of Usiah Bolt, yes gear does matter. If you gave him 80lb concrete blocks strapped to his feet and you gave me any sort of regular shoe I would win.
Infamy does not correlate with level
Infamy does not correlate with skill
Too bad Rovio uses infamy and boat mark as matchmaking inputs... neither one correlates with anything meaningful.
Just as an aside, look at the OP's original problem. He's an infamy 3500 player seeing similar foes down at 1600. You can look at the chart here and see those same enemies down at 860 although the herd thins as you move down. Personal experience tells me you can also see them at 200 infamy. Consider the fact that a brand new player may well find himself fighting opponents more appropriate for Ace league.
