I'm not a particularly skilled player when it comes to Crucible. Do you know how I can get better? By playing against others that are as good as, or better than, I am. Pub-stomping doesn't improve anyone's skill set. Being challenged, does.
And quit using lag as an excuse to complain about SBMM. Use lag as a reason to demand dedicated servers.

I don't disagree that sbmm is a good way to improve your skill but I would still rather have it as an option rather than the only way to play. I think one way that could work would be to have both an unranked and ranked playlist giving you the option to play against anyone or against players that are as skilled as you are. Just one idea I guess.
