Skill based matchmaking sucks

I've been playing the game release, took a break during season 2 and came back in season 3. A friend and I got up to pred. In rank, but there is one big issues now which is pub lobbies. Now I don't mind trying my hardest in rank but in pubs it be nice to sit back and just game because at the end of the day I'm just a gamer who wants to have fun. I don't need 20bomb every game, I'm just not one of those kids that wants to run the lobby. There is a few issues with this new SBMM one being a really big problem. First playing solo is a joke, my teammates are clueless bots who can't win one gun fight then just leaves the second they go down and now I'm playing the game solo... Why??? This is not fun to me. 

Second the biggest problem, I've gotten a few friends to try the game out and after a few games they get off and tell me they don't like the game. Why you may ask?? Because these are level 1-2 wanting to play with their friend (Me) and the lobbies they get to try to learn the game in are 3 stack preds holding hands during every fight. My friends get destroyed, yes I know get good or "gud" for the kids out there but they downloaded the game to play with me now solo. Do I tell my friend to play solo till he gets good, NO! If I want to chill and play with some new players and help them learn the map, weapons and legends I should be able to help with out them going against preds. You can't say start new account, first why do I need to make a new account that has all my skins and what not on there to play with friends. Also SBMM is so strong I did make a new account, did a 20 bomb and went to level 4, next game back to all preds again. Do I make 50 new accounts and changes after each game so my friends don't get destroyed. 

Long story short, these friends don't play this game anymore, they hate it really. They didn't learn anything because they couldn't and this is pretty frustrating to see when I can't even play with friends because of this pointless sbmm. Rank is there for a reason, play against people at your skill level, bring back the old apex legends when you could have fun and run any weapon besides R99/PK.
