Should I (or players like me) quit online multiplayer games?

@Axs5626Sxa5001 Thanks. That confirms what I thought about the team sbmm. That is going to the player with the best elo. So someone who is new should never even bother playing with a friend who is good. That is ridiculous to think about. Surely there is a way to balance the lobby a little.

    @hayhor There is a way to manipulate it but im sure it would fall in line of abusing or exploiting a game mechanic. But at times it tends to look at who is party leader in terms of lobbies.

    It absolutely 100% is egregious.
