@StelioRokos It doesn't have SBMM at all. It uses more of an engagement optimization matchmaking (EOMM for short). While yeah, there seem to be better matchmaking as a solo, I'm still seeing godlike players in any mode, while my random teammates might as well be a disconnected Wraith TTV player.

Yeah I agree. It seems to me (and I am just generalizing based on my experience here) that the matchmaking for casual mode roughly uses 3 types of lobbies:
- New player lobbies queuing solo
for ALL very new accounts and ALL very very bad players (if you get one 10+ kills match, you pretty much are out of that queue) - Normal lobby
for MOST solo queuing players of all skills, A FEW premade trios of all skills and MOST or maybe HALF premade duo + one random squads of all skills - Hot lobby
for MOST premade trios of all skills, A FEW solo players that over-performs and A FEW or maybe HALF premade duo + one random squad, especially those that over-performs
Based on the very short matchmaking queue times of like 2-5 seconds, seemingly for all players regardless of skill level, it seems to me that this model is far more likely to be true than some sort of hard SBMM or EOMM based on the queueing players skills, win rate etc
