Why do Some Argue Against Skill Based MM?

How many are there now? what was the most games played you saw back then? The highest WN8?   Back then, how many ranked and clan reward premium tanks were in the game? How many would you see in a given random queue fight on average?   Did you pay-to-win or were you free to play?    I'm willing to bet the rules are actually very different for you at 5k games than it was for me at 5k games. There are more experienced players now, there are less new players, the top tier of player is even more experienced than what you faced. The meta has evolved significantly and is arguably harder on new players. Power creep is real, especially for reward and premium tanks.  It's easy to say that everyone being treated the same is fair when you're at the top of the food chain. It's an argument of privilege.  Not everyone learns to get better the same way. Not every player can learn by getting kicked in the teeth five thousand times. Sometimes people need an opportunity to make small victories to make progress.    Also, and I assume you know this but I'll say it out loud for you, this isn't a job. Some of us are really just playing this for fun and would like to be matched against people at around our own skill level to play a few games each day. Also some people have a lower ceiling of skill and should get an opportunity to enjoy themselves.
