Activision did a secret study on Call of Duty players in regards to skill based match making (SBMM). They released a 25 page paper on it. Turns out the conclusion was everybody hated it.

SBMM has been a hot topic for a few years now. So it's nice to see a publisher try it out as a blind A/B test. Results were "more quitting, less playing, and more negative blowouts" Were recorded during this time.

The paper is linked in the article as well.
