    @Balladalidila We are all nannys in kindergarten - that's how this game was designed. Better players carry not so good players. Then not so good player learn the game and becomes nanny. But nannys rarely play with each other in random lobby. Is pretty always nanny and two kids VS nanny and two kids. It's a family game!

@Balladalidila Nobody ever said that they use sbmm. They actually use EBMM (engagement based matchmaking) TL;DR More you win - harder games, and vice versa

@Srksii 

Respawn actually did confirmed they used a "skilled based matchmaking" since day one (you can find the Respawn article by a simple google search), but I totally agree that people assume to much what it means.. SBMM only means they use skill as a variable to matchmake to some degree. It doesnt say how or to what extent and I think this experiment shows its very obviously that their SBMM doesnt "match similarly skilled player", which maybe is the most common use of the term. 

For all we know, SBMM in this game maybe only means that it tries to sort out the low level and really, really bad into one matchmaking, premade 3-man squads into one and all other into a third". That could also be classified as a SBMM and that is honestly more in line what I experience, and I have objections at all to call it EOMM rather than SBMM =)
