Even if I agree with the main points of your argument, I just wanna point out that I think the matchmaking in especially Pubs is more "rigged" (as in the opposite of totally random) than we know.
When I play solo casual, the overall skill level of my opponents is significantly lower compared to when I play with a full 3 man premade. And if I play full 3-premade with other ex-masters/preds, 2-4 K/D friends, then the matchmaking seems to become even harder, with almost ONLY full 3-man stacks (which I base on observations how few players who insta-leaves when they die and how many full squads that are alive at all stages during the game).
So there is definitely more "sorting categories" of the public matchmaking than just beginner and the rest. But ofc they are not 100% strict so regardless, I totally agree that there should NEVER be a full 3 man premade in the same lobby as teams of three randoms. The competitive advantages are just too much to even be funny,
But I guess this is all a part of EAs infamous engagement optimized matchmaking. Sometimes, a "decent but not pro" 3-man premade, who struggles in the 3-man only lobbies, needs a carrot to keep playing so the matchmaking let them in to a lobby of mostly randoms so that they are allowed to feel good for a game. We all know thats also the story when you play as solo with randoms.. You get 4-5 matches in a row where your teammates literally are bots, unable to do 50 dmg in a fight, and in your fifth game, the matchmaking rewards you with a bot lobby where you can win any 1v1s with a p2020. EOMM at its finest =)
i ve just tried to be sure. I make some no fill pubs game and i got matched against 3 stacking master team. So maybe there are more than 2 kind of lobby(noob and everyone else), don' t know about that "carrot theory' but there s no distiction between soloq player and premaded squad as in ranked. At least in ranked they tried to do it also if its a double edged sword cause the duos.
Im pretty sure about matchmaking system in rank(ecxept they changed something recently).
Pubs matchmaking should be studied deeply maybe someone from the community can give us some suggestion but at least seems to be the wrongest one.
Also for me its not a problem if i got matched with bot until the other team are in the same waters
