The only thing GAC cares about now when determining skill rating is wins vs loses. it initially placed you in a general bracket based on your GP. This no longer matters. What matter is if you win or ...

You can't have a matchmaking system based on skill rating when not everyone have the same tools. I have a 4.3M GP account (1 GL and aiming for the second one), and i consider myself an average player, there is no way in hell that i can beat people with 4 to 6 GL. Suposse that Hawkeyes, Peempo, Fatal or someone upthere switch accounts with me, even with their skills there's no chance they can beat me, so, it's not based on "skills".
With this new system you have a few choices, you can either win, win, loose, loose, win and give a sh... or you can frustrate yourself and start spending if you can, or just frustrate and swalow the anger.
Well, you hit the nail on the head without knowing it in your first sentence. Match making is now based on a metric they have introduced called "skill rating" (as you correctly called it). Not skill. Skill rating. Player skill rating comes from wins and losses. Wins and losses come from a player's roster and how they use it. Player rosters come from how well players manage resources, how long they've been playing, and possibly how much money they spend.
They will never have a pure skill contest in this game, because what would be the incentive to improve your roster? If you got carefully matched against people with the same number/power tier of GLs, same mod power, same meta teams, why would you want to improve? Any time you added anything it would instantly change your match making so the opponent has it too.
They want you to keep growing your roster. And they definitely want people who spend money to see that help their performance.
