Smurfing and SBMM are beyond a joke
Adding the option to report smurfing is a step in the right direction but it’s not enough, and half the time it doesn’t let you anyway! I’m not sure if this is because people just set themselves to o...

The league you are referring to is composed of the first n (20?) teams. That is like saying that the first 20 teams on Apex's leaderboards will have a tournament every Sunday -for the duration of a season to see who is the more consistent team of all qualified to participate. And in that case every team will fight every other team.
However, the Dallas Cowboys will never be matched against my amateur team, because it would be violating ANY criteria of a fair match.
In the same way, you as a master will be placed against adversaries of similar skills, which include Diamonds at times, and Preds, as preds are the firts 750 in the masters rank.
If matchmaking were working that way (like you claim it works for masters) also at lower skill levels, it would be fantastic. It is not. I get preds/masters and diamonds, despite having a .7 k/d and a 1.6% win rate.
Look, my win rate is 1.62% this season so far. It went from 3.8% past season to half of it, or less. By the way, I am only a gold 3.....and cannot make it past it....
Why should I (and others like me) be punished, and be made to play against opponents we cannot defeat?
Is it possible that your friends have more Ws because they play more than you do?

according to what MM decided to match this poor guy in a lobby like this, he/she clearly still a new player and still don't know what to do or Respawn is now using bots to fill lobbies but this is not the first time today.
I had a similar blood hound who was a new players 100% sure and he wasn't a bot.
The thing is same as this blood hound considered a low skilled the same is applied to some of us who get stomped by preds or atleast I fall in this category.
When I get matched against someone with 3 or 4 KDR while am holding my 1.6 then the comparison is the same as this BL who is maybe having a KDR or 0.5 or lower
respawn really need to reconsider the MM system .

Yes. that is exactly what happens. I think the jump from doing decent/well in a low level, very low level lobby, to a bit more skilled one one is way too steep. It seems like it skips several steps in between the lobby that BH belongs to and the one he's bing placed into.
He might have been carried to victory the very previous match. @VdstrkI completely agree with you, I don't know if you seen my other videos.
If you noticed I used to get one pred/master in champion squad but when I had a master in my squad then the MM went full aggressive and gave us a squad of two preds and a master.
There is pattern here , and I seriously agree with what you said that it takes one master/pred squad to ruin the whole match specially when they are the last squad against a squad of my level- @maximas1986
Another though here. It seems that quite a few top streamers/players make smurf accounts to make "guides". Sure, they are trying to make something useful for their communities, but at the same time this encourages smurfing.
