So how do you, just in broad and general terms, suggest how a better matchmaking would be? And all I am asking is that you dont conveniently ignore that that skill is relative and skill based stats like K/D, percentage of shots hit, damage dealt are ALL strongly correlated to the skill level of your opponent.

@Balladalidila I have no idea. My job isn't to create games or deal with these issues. But how is it enjoyable as a lesser than aveeage player being placed in games with borderline pros and above average players every single game.
And then

Why would these players create a new account to take advantage of the lesser than average players.

If I had a solution I would share it.
Do you have one..

@Balladalidila But also.... I can't be using kill death stats as mine are terrible and I'm being placed in lobbies with people who will stats double mine. So is that by definition sbmm or what.

@Balladalidila I'm curious to what skill is then. If it isn't kill death. Shots fired and shots hit. Because your certainly not match making based on how good you are at rotations and looting

  Skill is ofc represented by all those stats but the actual value of any of those stats, out of the context, doesnt say anything about the skill of that player; all it says is the skill of that player in relation to the current matchmaking. The easiest way to illustrate: imagine your overall K/D is 1.8 but your ranked K/D after a long season Diamond grind is 0.8. Even if you have different values of the skilled based stat "K/D" , you still are the same player with the same skill. The difference just represent your skill in relation to your opponents skill in two different matchmakings.
  So what I am trying to say is that you cant base a matchmaking on those stats because they correlates to the players skills vs the opponents skills... I have 2.44 overall K/D right now but the only thing that number says about me is how good I am in the current matchmaking... A matchmaking based on the current K/D would only match similarly skilled players vs each other in the beginning of the run, but after a while, every players stats would have changed since the competitive situation is changed and the "similarly skilled" matchmaking is broken. Its a very complex simulation what would happen and it hurts my brain to even think about it =)
