Before I write anything, I would like to inform you that I am a sweat with over 30 days in qp and 20 days in comp (or something like that) I solo queue every qp game and 4 stack every comp game. This is my experience... Every qp game. Every single one, I top frag with 40-50 kills and barely win or barely lose. No mercy no blowouts. If there Is a team of 2-6 that are good, I am on the opposite team. If there is a team of 2-5 that are trash, I am on their team and carry them. There is sbmm in qp but it is not what u think it is. 12 ppl are chosen from orbit based on p2p connection and at random. Once the 12 players are chosen (fireteams included), the teams are divided based on skill. There will always be me (40-50 kills) one or two below me who goes 1.5kds (10-20) kills and then the rest of my team would go negative with only 5-10 kills. The opposite team would have 4 ppl that go 20-30 kills and one or two subpar players that go 10-20 kills. TLDR; Skill based matchmaking exists but not in the way you think it does.
