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]

Turns out I wasn't and it was an SBMM illusion.[/quote] Literally the same thing happens when Crucible goes from CBMM to SBMM for all the good players. They suddenly get lumped together and their KDs all drop and they need to 'sweat' to compete and their skill was all just a CBMM illusion. It goes both ways.
