Getting old with the GP disparity - every level is having this problem besides Kyber 1

Win loss record itself is NOT skill. It takes more skill to be outclassed by 3M GP and lose by 10 than it does to outclass someone by 3M and win by 10. But, from what people say, all that matters is the win.
FFS, I was outclassed at the end of the last round by 1M-3M in every fight. The last being 3M. 3 GLs to 1 (effectively) and I only saw one in his defense. But every other team on defense was 120K+. I did OK, i got into ships as I recall, but I had no chance. That's not really a complaint - I know I got promoted way to far. Going 7-5 in the prior season in no way should have vaulted me up 2 divisions, but that's another issue.
The fact of the matter is it took more sill on my part to at least make it look competitive that it did for someone who vastly overpowers me to stomp me. But, if you're not factoring the score, any effort made in a loss doesn't count - which would be the antithesis of 'skill'. Skill, is being the better player, it is not having the better roster. If they want to rename it Victory Rating, great. But if only win/loss is considered, it has nothing really to do with actual skill.
