This misses the players who are always low elo for their whole lives - its not fun for them to get stomped every game forever...

They are low elo forever because they only play low elo games. There are way more low elo players than not, so without SBMM they wont get stomped all the time, it was never like that before so I dont get why we are pretending it will be now.

SBMM matches bad players with other bad players. Why are you pretending like the bad players wouldn't get stomped all the time if SBMM was removed?

Well that kind of gets to my second point of servers disappearing. Used to be you could find or create your own servers for your more casual players but most games these days have no such options.
