I'm going to have to disagree. The whole point of a BR is getting a whole lot of mixed people, but if the Devs feel like they need to do something I think the best bet is to put everyone under level 20 into the same matches, until they hit level 21, then to the standard servers with everyone else.
This would be to just ensure that everyone is learning the game without being completely stomped on.
Also if Skill Based Matchmaking was a thing, there would be longer waits for match up, higher ping latency, and even some sweats do wanna slow down a chill every now and then without going full sweat mode.
BR's are about randomness personal opinion it's good how it is. (and I get stomped on a lot!)
Matchmaking is absolutely necessary in any player vs. player game. Even more so in a game mode like battle royale that is very unforgiving. The only potential drawback is the wait time, because if you implement matchmaking there will absolutely be a wait. That's something I'm perfectly fine with, as long as it doesn't start going beyond a couple minutes. Even by matching players of a similar level you already reduce the amount of elitists in the lobby. Of course there is going to be smurfs, but that's inevitable and not as big a problem as people like to make it out.
