Stop with the stupid hidden MMR!!!!!!!!
I should not be playing in the ALGS while I'm still in bronze lobbies

Well, even if I agree that the MM isnt designed to put 60 players of equal skill in terms of shooting, moving, reading the map etc together, which most of us would define as a "good" SBMM, I STRONGLY disagree with your assessment of the MM. Your fundamental mistake in your assessment is that you only base it on YOUR experience, but totally forget that the same rules must apply for EVERY OTHER PLAYER OF ALL SKILLS in the matchmaking queue. This makes your theory logically impossible.
How can a MM system logically be designed to put every player pressing FIND MATCH, from the noobiest noob to ALGS pros, with two significantly worse players against 57 significantly better opponents for "10-20" matches, and then put them in the next match in a lobby with 57 significantly worse opponents with two significantly better teammates? I dont know if you studies any type of programming or just understand mathematical logic but you must realize that this would be IMPOSSIBLE unless you have an unlimited active player pool of players at all skill levels. You dont appear like an idiot so just give it some thought and I am sure you will realize that this cant be the case, from a mathematical POV.
And when you say "thats EOMM", then I am afraid you are just plain wrong. We must just acknowledge that EOMM refers to a type of game MM algorithm, derived and patented by EA. Its not a general broad term for "a matchmaking that makes you lose by design and then lets you win". But anyhow; this is the last time I will say anything on the subject. If people wanna keep refering to EOMM then I couldnt care less. But then dont complain that Respawn doesnt care what is being said here. Why would they listen to blabbering fools?
Good points you have there, however looking at things from your point of view it makes me think more about bot accounts.
A lot of players report seeing Lifelines and Bangalores all landing in the same spot and not moving. That's because there's players who run multiple instances of the game just to level up the accounts to then use them to cheat in rank.
Even if we ignore the bots put in by cheaters, Respawn has their own bots in the game. These bots are supposed to be in the orientation matches, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're placed in normal matches.
Although a lot of bot looking players have badges and stats, some of which that I've seen were over level 500, however its not hard to equip fake stats onto a bot account and then throw that bot into a match. Which bots in games, (such as NPCs in Skyrim), are good enough to follow players, pick things up, etc. but the bots/NPCs lack things such as common sense.
In short, (from what I'm understanding and seeing), everyone has good and bad games due to bots being present in the match as well as the hidden MMR and it being EOMM based.
There's definitely more things to consider, look into, and test.
Oh you mean bots literally and not just bad players? Oh well, Ive seen a couple of actual bots in a couple of ranked games but I cant say its a huge problem. Sad part is that you actually can get to like diamond by just afk script, thts how broken this ranked system is.
Btw just returned to this game after a long break... What a mess ranked mode is haha. Respawn literally broke their own game. Every former hardstuck platinum have a master diving trail now haha.
