SBMM makes is flawed and why most people hate it is because it matches you up with people "equal" to your skill right? But it negates the fact those players could be across the continent from you and since we have a P2P connection and no dedicated servers then it will start to lag because of how far away people are. So, the more skilled you are, the further it's going to be in order to find you someone (further as in people further away from you) and the further you are, the more lag you are going to feel. :) hope this helps
