I remember Sledgehammer tried to deny Advanced Warfare had SBMM -- up until they banned people for "reverse boosting" (i.e. suicided themselves with grenades to lower their K:D ratio to get matchmaked with shitters). That's a tacit admission that SBMM wasn't done for the benefit of players.

They were called 'Smurf's in Overwatch where high/top ranking players would start up new accounts and just steamroll everyone in the lower ranks.
