Hold up, so if it’s set to the max based off one player, and I constantly get matched with two obvious lower skilled players, how are they supposed to make a significant difference going up against pre-made masters. If this isn’t solid proof to anyone solo queuing being at a clear disadvantage from the get go, I don’t know what is. This is both enlightening, but very, very disheartening to read. Here I was all this time thinking it was a group average.

I'm really hopeful at the prospect that this might make playing with my friends a less painful experience. It could potentially make it worse. So far this split, I'm just playing ranked with my friends so we are not 100% of the time put into lobbies against three kill grinding sweat premades.
In any event, I'm very happy to see Respawn trynig to make an effort to actually fix some of the broken aspects of matchmaking. I hope they will devote similar attention to the problems in ranked.
My thanks to those of you who chose to actually discuss the subject of this thread, which is matchmaking. And I'm very disappointed in some people's choice to make this thread an opportunity to grind their axes about pro players and content creators. That response makes me disinclined to bring news of interest to the forum at all.
spot on post and I absolutely agree with you.
I really hope that they tighten up the SBMM so that equally skilled players actually play against equally skilled opponents in ranked and in Pubs.
Currently either being matched with day one players or matched against preds is not working for me. I am at best a mediocre player this equates to being at gold1/plat4 at best for me.

BTW for the last 20 people asking for Arenas MM balances, this is your chance. Better ask Samy about it.
Comms cannot be measured so I agree with @CCbathwater the measurables should be what is used.
Just because a team is three stacked does not mean they have better coms they could be using the game comms.
I have used the game comms many times with Randoms and that is great but all in all comms does not help all that much if you are a great player and are teamed with two low skilled players whether 3 stacked or random.
The measurable skills should be what SBMM is about.
