Its nice that you get a key of the same level that you did the previous week.
I had a 15 last week because I had done a 16 with a friend, so I used that key to get into a "our carry your key" group. I didn't need to be "carried" but since I don't have rio because I'm barely touching M+ at this point it gave me an in.
Now this week I again have a 15 key, so I can either try to find another "your key" group or make my own group.
..and so he left, with terrible power in shaking hands.
"Elitist shitheads" are the ones that think they're entitled to every high end activity, especially if its all about the path of the least resistance like being invited into groups instead of making their own and/or running them with friends.
The +2 dungeons are ready for you or go back to pet battles.
I'm not making threads about special mounts being locked behind 500 mount collections because I'm not doing that content so why do you have the right to flame people for what they're making effort.

i play guardian druid and have no problem getting groups.
My prot warrior usually gets invited as well.
Also people with the statement you claim usually sign up for keys that only needs one slot to fill. and not when there is just 1 person in party. those are by far higher chance to get into since they can adapt the group more than a group that maybe needs 1 person and needs a lust + healer, which obv ends up being a shaman.
I mostly play tanks. My tanks usually get into groups instantly, but i also have a hunter who i prefer to play as BM. Mediocre gear (somewhere around 212 iirc)... and guess what... i push my own key on that char because noone will invite an undergeared (compared to others applying) spec that has a bad rep.
I don't see the problem tbh. The problem isn't you, it's the level and amount of the competition. I tend to do 12-14s on my hunter, no real pushing, just for weekly and some possible upgrades, and the ilvl of the people signing up is staggering. Why would i not invite whoever is most likely to make my key the smoothest? I don't know you, you're just a set of numbers. When my buddies want in ,they come in, even if some of them are admittedly pretty shit
Push your own keys, play with friends/guildies etc. To any pug stranger you're just a set of numbers and usually, someone has better numbers than you. That's just how it goes. People's entitlement of other people letting them into their stuff is pretty astonishing, as is their ignorance that you usually have 2 dozen dps players applying for 3 spots.... which they would know if they pushed their own keys

You just have to network, as I still get declined from random 14-15 keys despite have a high r.io score and being a Moonkin with 226 ilvl. Generally after many of my runs, I get B.net friend invites because (shockingly!) it can be difficult to get into groups in a pug scenario because you're just one of a long list of applicants in most cases, and like-minded people want to hedge their bets for future runs. A lot of my guildmates think I'm crazy for how much I pug, but I do it for the networking aspect, as well as seeing how different people do different things. The meta, whether it's group comp or route, is only the meta until it isn't, and sometimes it's a lot more fun and enjoyable to try something outside the norm.

When people look for 1.8k and 224 ilvl for even a 15 you know all people care about is the highest io instead of basing it around what's needed for said key, people want everything as easy and quick as possible nowadays so always go for the highest io, just need to deal with it.
Well that is a weak argument. If you open your group, even with good score, higher than needed for a +15, you have to wait a REAL long time for a tank if you are no meta specc. You get a lot of tanks, most of them with low rio or no experience in that stone lvl, i.e SD +15 and tank got untimed 11 as best key.
Or ofc, you can get a real good tank, but he got a "friend" that you will have to carry...
Good and experienced tanks can choose their grp, why they should list in a grp with no metas, knowing it will take longer and will be harder to time/finish it ?
The key problem is balance! Or overtuned Dungeons. But 5 low performing meta-players will have an easier run timing a +15 than 5 high performing players on bad speccs/covenants. A real good played warlock will perform worse than a medium played firemage. And if you invite a warlock or join a warlock grp you cant know if he is a good performing player.
@OP
the easiest solution is collecting non meta tanks on your friendslist. It will take some time, it will cost some keys, but it will make your m+ life so much more comfortable for future runs/seasons.
So Challenge modes being a timed run has nothing to do with current Mythic+ being a timed run? The only thing they share in common with rifts is a progressive difficulty which is nothing inherent to Diablo design. It is weird how blind people get when they look for design scapegoats.
