Impossibly hard lobbies. SBMM is broken?

I'm an average FPS player. I did play whole season 0 and a little bit of season 3. Never played ranked, played the game for pure casual fun. I was pretty good in my tier, got some wins, got some cool...

@OtocyonMegaloti How can you think you deserve to be in bot lobbies? You just said you are dropping 15 kills. As if you deserved more? While you did just create the account the game has finally said ok you are not going to ruin the game experience for new players just for your ego. Now your being placed with some of the best because well you got a 4.5 k/d to start. If your k/d is 2.0 or higher then your going to be put with the best.

Its not casual to other players when a above average player can come wreck the lobby and ruin the experience for possibly new players joining the game. You was placed exactly where you belonged.

@E9ine_AC I crated new account not to kill newbs for my ego, because I don’t have access to my first account. And even if I had, I didn’t play the game for a year, so my current skill is much lower when I last used that account. Even so, I meant, when above average player enters bot lobbies he drops 20 bombs left and right (seen it on youtube). I got only few pure bot lobbies form lvl 1-5(3 games) then from 5-12 lobbies were petty decently matched.

I emphasize that I'm extremely average, casual to the bone, and I can't play the damn game.

I just experiment a little bit.

On the same account played few ranked matches(first time ever) and to my surprise they were matched quite fairly. Player lvl 50-200, around same skill as me. Of 5 matches I won 2, with decent damage. Ranked is new pubs now I guess.

Remembered I had an account I played for a week of season 4, lvl 50 k/d 1.5 trying it now at its seems like it's better but still pretty sweaty.

It's almost like there only two skill brackets: lowest of low new players who doesn’t know how to strafe, and people who play the game religiously - movement and aim gods who had 2000 hours in game, and there no middle where I can play and enjoy the game.
