Why did I bother to GIT GUD in the Crucible if you're going to remove Skill Based Matchmaking

[b][u]EDIT:[/u] After a few other posts and some helpful replies, I understand I did not actually [i]GIT GUD[/i], I was just benefiting from how the SBMM was putting me into matches. [i]RIP[/i] the days when I was 'good' at Crucible. Turns out I wasn't and it was an SBMM illusion. That said, Crucible is now not fun for me I'm really on the fence about whether I want to put in the time to actually [i]GIT GUD[/i], or if I even can if I'm actually this outclassed.[/b] [u][b]ORIGINAL POST:[/b][/u] I put a lot of work in to [b]git gud[/b] in the Crucible. I only ever went positive by accident in Destiny 1. Put in a lot of work and practice to up my game and by Season of the Worthy I had a 1.5 K/D for that season. You removed Skill Based Matchmaking and now it feels exactly the same as 5 years ago. Doesn't matter what I do, I just get ganked every 10 seconds. [b]Thanks for undoing all the hard work and progress I made.[/b] I used to feel happy and proud of myself after a good Crucible match where I'd done really well. I'd worked hard and progressed and had an accomplishment I was proud of. Now I just feel discouraged at the end of [b][u]every[/u][/b] game because I know [u]the only reason I didn't do better is you guys decided to flip a switch[/u]. [i]...And don't even get me started on how much harder it's made getting any Crucible quests done...[/i] [u][/u]

I'm actually of a similar kd with a 1.53. Some lobbies with large fireteams are difficult to beat no matter the matchmaking. I've lost every iron banner game that was vs a six man fireteam, they use a good tactic of all sticking together. Other times I go into a solo lobby and their might be a player who's better then me. I try my best, sometimes I win and sometimes I lose. You need a since of humility and recognize some people are better. All you can do is try and say that you gave it your all! I some games I'll do good and others not so good. I feel bad for some opponents. These opponents have a long way to go and I'm just more talented at the game then them. So much that I feel like they don't learn anything other then they are not on my level, its not fair to them. I understand, I still have those games at times. They should be able to forge their skill the same way I did, with facing opponents at their level or slighty better. That way they can retain and slowly learn as you need to slowly build memories of what to do when faced with a certain scenario. Overall I'm conficted on cbmm vs sbmm. I like the randomness of cbmm but I don't like the experience of 3 players carrying the rest of their teams. Idk those are just my 2 cents.
