Why do Some Argue Against Skill Based MM?

I don't think most people in favor of this kind of system want anything handed to them for free.  They just don't like their entire team of tomatos getting rolled by a single unicum platoon.  It happens quite often.   I consider myself an average player at best.  I prefer to play against people around my skill level or even better.  Helps me learn.  Farming morons does very little to make my skills improve.   No one is being punished in a well-designed SBMM system .. good or bad players.  Good players should still be able to remain at a higher winrate with good stats.  You know, because they're good.  But the ones who are still learning the game would have a less infuriating time getting better at it when they're not getting stomped on by stat-padders along the way. Truly bad players will honestly not ever "get gud" no matter the system, and any increase in win rate people assume they'll gain from more teams carrying them (which they already do) will top out at some point (like it already does).   And, if players are truly "elite", then it shouldn't matter if they face comparably skilled opponents, anyway.  Their eliteness should prevail, and their stats should not get taken "down a peg", right? Hell, they should welcome it.  WG could even put in a new bunch of dogtags and emblems and camos and crap they could show off for beating other elites.   (For 50g each, of course.   Cause, you know .. WG)  
^^^ Ultimately, this is the answer right here.  They wouldnt sell as much crap to the people who think it will make them better if they buy it.
