Matchmaking is a real problem in most games because of smurfing.

BAR has very sophisticated anti-smurfing, so many bans to out to people who thought they could trick the system.

You occasionally get smurfs in Rocket League but it's like 1 in 10 games so not a big issue IMO.

That varies VASTLY depending on what skill you're at. At D3 where I am, I'd say maybe 2 out of 3 games have at least one person showing banners or skins that are exclusive to Grand Champ tournament winners.

this is completely ignoring the botting issue that was so bad lately it pushed pros out of ssl and severely messed up MMR. this season is the first one that is remotely playable in a while

Oh yeah to be fair I stopped playing for that whole period (not because of it).
