Why do Some Argue Against Skill Based MM?

DeviouslyCursed:  That is how most SBMM systems work. I've yet to see any SBMM in any game work like you are stating it does. That's your version of SBMM that you have envisioned. There are SBMM out there was does work exactly as I said. Acting like your version of SBMM is the only possibly one is foolish in the extreme. I am talking about SBMM in general, because if you and others convince WG to implement it, there is no guarantee they will use the version you are talking about. You completely ignored my point about teammates. You step around it deliberately because you know I'm right. Use SBMM and take 100 battles from a purple player, and 100 battles from a red player. Tally up their 14 teammates over all those 100 battles. The purple players teammates look vastly different than the red players teammates. FACT. SBMM would assign players different teammates. FACT. It discriminates against one player, and gives another a benefit. FACT.  ***Acknowledge this or show me with examples how the person's TEAMMATES will be the same despite the matches being forced to balance.*** This conversation is going to end quick and return to insults if you can't do this one simple thing. I will not continue an open discussion with a dishonest participant. Let me put it another way: The very FACT that SBMM is moving people around means it is, 100% verified by this process, discriminating against some players based on the metric it is using to move people. You laughing at me saying I won't play if SBMM with account side is implemented. That's because you don't understand, again, what I am talking about, and the massive problems with account wide elo ratings. You play an average tank for you, you are rated properly, you play one of your best tanks, you will be underrated and win more. If you keep playing your best tanks, now your elo is based on your best tanks. The moment you switch to a bad tank, or a stock tank, you are gimping your team because the SBMM expects you to perform at your best tanks level, but you won't. Account wide SBMM is the death of the game. It has nothing to do with "balanced" battles. In fact, it is because the SBMM will deliberately make unbalanced battles while trying to balance them when you play crappy tanks or stock tanks. I've stopped playing every MOBA I've ever tried specifically because of this issue.
