In the Call of Duty games if you purchase a premium skin the matchmaking algorithm tries to match you into servers where fewer (or no) players have that same skin, to increase the feeling of exclusivity. This is not a secret, Activision even patented the idea.

I wonder if anybody specifically gets "elite" skins to increase their odds of being matched against easier opponents.
