Lets Talk About 'Skill-Based Matchmaking'?

@JiboTV I wanna say you're wrong but that's too short.
if SBMM is there, than everyone should be getting tracked from the moment the play meaning they begin to move up from skill level 1 thus always pitting them with players who play like them and if they manage to defeat them with ease over and over, they should be moving up at a reasonable pace, however the matches won't be getting any easier as the system thinks you are naturally this good always which is why higher players constantly have to keep trying and trying against others.
I still believe SBMM is fine where it is, I still see Predators in my casual matches and sure sometimes they get one over on me or I get one on them but that just helps me get better vs constantly fighting people I barely have to try against. I could jump into Ranked and get closer to Pred to see how it feels to constantly fight sweats to help better understand but from what I have experienced now, coming across players who are on my level isn't a big of an issue to me because again, it's not ranked and theres no punishment for dying. Sure I can't get 10+ kill anymore but I like my stats to reflect my actual skill vs. my skill against noobs.

Outside of ranked mode, K/D and win% stats were the only visible skill-based progression system present in the game.
If each player's MMR value accurately approximates their skill, then both K/D and win% will tend towards the same value for (almost*) all players. (*the exceptions being those at the very highest, and lowest MMR values).
Not only is our individual MMR completely hidden from us, but we've also got absolutely no idea how it's computed, nor any knowledge of how it's utilised by the matchmaking system.
