TAKE SBMM OUT OF THE GAME

If SBMM really worked your squad should win about half of its first gunfights, all other things equal, plus or minus some margin for randomness.  BR probably makes that margin wider, but still.  I am a below average player and I get destroyed 90% of the time.  I don't just lose, i get humiliated in record time.  If it was a tense gunfight and I won even 30% of my first gunfights, I might keep keep playing.  It is supposed to be a First Person Shooter, not a First Person Looter game.

As for not being able to learn the game playing people your own level, that's ridiculous.  How does getting lasered within 30 seconds of your first gunfight each match help anyone learn anything?  You spend 10x more time in the lobby, matchmaking, picking your legend, dropping, and looting than you do fighting. That is a very long, frustrating, & infuriating way to learn anything.  You need reps to learn.
