Skill-based matchmaking.

What is the reason for secretly adding a skill-based matchmaking system? For the past few weeks I've noticed that no matter the division, rank, friendly match, etc., the game only matches you with people of a similar level what is known as skill base matchmaking.

It's noticeable because when searching for a match, the game takes minutes to find an opponent; it's noticeable because, being from Europe, it finds me matches with 50 ping, when my normal ping is 14. This is because the skill-based matchmaking is looking for people of my level everywhere, making it pointless to play the game since every mode is highly competitive. 

Honestly, if they keep this skill-based matchmaking, I'm quitting the game. It's impossible to have fun in any game mode because it forces you to compete as if your life depended on it. 

I can attach proof of 5 or 6 match searches where it only finds opponents with a ping of 50, even with crossplay and proximity matchmaking enabled... Why are they secretly adding things?
