This is a game. Nobody want's any trophies, they just want to play the game and have fun. Want trophies? Play ranked.
You're claiming that if everybody is thrown together your friends won't get stomped?
With about 6% being diamond/masters (data from season 8) there would be about 3/4 of them in every lobby. While about 35% (21 players) would be silver or below, 32% (19 players) gold and 26% (16 players) platinum. That means that most players will get stomped. But at least you get to win.
We also separate boxers by weight and skill and by your argument a kid who has been training for a year should be put in a ring with Muhammad Ali. Only fair that Ali would win more, he's just better.

@AnjunakrokusI guarantee you if everyone is thrown together I would have a better experience with my lesser skilled friends bc we would at least have a chance with a balanced team to face. I am not exaggerating when I tell you my pubs consist of 95% diamonds and up mostly masters and preds. You said most players will get stomped, yes as they should the more skilled players EARNED their ability to defeat lesser skilled players. I got killed by ImperialHal today, guess what he’s worked hard to get that good. I have no Ill will at him I learn from it. Comparing boxing to apex isn’t a good analogy, boxing is no different than ranked you work your way up. We are talking about PUB lobbies here. Can we just agree there’s no right solution for everyone? If you think it’s fair that my win rate is around someones win rate who isn’t even half as good as me then I’m wasting my time here. Both sides here make valid points but I cannot accept the fact lesser skilled players have the same or in some cases a even higher win rate than someone tremendously superior to them all due to matchmaking. Imagine you’re really fast at stacking boxes. This other person isn’t fast and is lazy as hell. Y’all get paid the exact same amount, you’re required to stack more boxes than the lazy person despite the fact you are both paid the same all bc you have the ability to stack boxes faster. Is that fair?

There definitely is not a perfect solution for everyone. And the current system probably isn't even a decent solution for most people.
You might have a better experience, playing with your friends but most other people would have a worse experience in general.
On the one hand you are complaining that better skilled players have a right to more wins and on the other you are complaining that better skilled players are stomping you.
It sucks that the current match making system puts your team in lobbies where your friends get rolled, that hurts your team. But in the lobbies where they don't get rolled you will roll the rest of the lobby.
The only reason why you want matchmaking to be removed is because you're in the top 20% and it's hurting you. You don"t seem to care about the rest of the player base, For that matter, if your friends are that much below your skill level, you don't seem to care about their experience without you.
This is not work, if you are having fun stacking boxes fast and they are having fun stacking boxes slowly, then yeah you both get paid because this is not a job.
Now if you only have fun when you win or you're not having fun at all, then you need to evaluate whether this game is for you.
Win rate means nothing, the only thing you have earned is a higher rank.
