@Caluka1337 The "huge luck" only really works early game for pro players. They will instantly vaporized people (the non pros, non twitch streamers, etc.) even if they have P2020 because ( 1)they are almost always playing in a premade of 3 with 2 pro friends and ( 2)they are that good at the game that even with a P2020 they will be able to drop noobs with better gear. Once the pros start dropping people, they are getting all the gear they need to continue and snowball the rest of the round.
When you say "You are diminishing the reward for players who play regularly and manage to get maybe not good, but decent at the game."
It sounds like you are saying "once you get decent you can sometimes destroy noobs and that's the reward". No, the reward is playing a challenging, non/lot less frustrating and, finally, fair game if you have good matchmaking. Pros destroying noobs is only entertaining for so long and, more often than not, by the time the pro grew tired of owning noobs, the noobs would have rage quit if that's the only sort of experience they have: either they get exciting and challenging engagements against fellow noobs or they get vaporized by way better/more experienced players.
About your athlete metaphore, having no matchmaking is actually like having real leagues of say hockey where you would see adult professionnal teams playing against kids teams in a real competitive way. Yeah, the kids can learn so much from being demolished (not). Oh and the kids will totally not say "F it, I ain't making a career in hockey". lol
I am an average player, maybe slightly above average and it's boring to destroy a squad of oblivious noobs while it's also frustrating to be instantly taken out by somebody that I'm not even sure if he's using cheats or not because he looks like he's THAT good/accurate. The best engagements are when both squads are about as good because it's fair and exciting (because you don't know the outcome, it's a 50/50 for who will win).
