I agree and have been studying it in my own capacities as well as a programmer.
As I’ve mentioned before, there are two significant events that cemented that Overwatch is rigged.
1 - Scott Mercer mentions in this article that the matchmaker won’t form a match until a minimum winrate of 40% for a team is “fixed”. This concludes EVERY match has a 40%-60% chance of winning, minimum NO MATTER WHERE YOUR SR STANDS IN RELATION TO YOUR MMR. Masked under the guise of “fairness”.

2 - Jeff Kaplan mentions in this interview that MMR is what has always been used to match games, not SR.

This means SR is completely irrelevant. Hypothetically, if you’re a GM and fall to gold. You will NOT be against golds, you’ll be against smurfs and other GM’s that fell to gold or you will be handicapped with even worse players on your team to make the match reach the 40%-60% predicted winrate and you will have only a MAXIMUM of 60% chance (predicted) of winning games down there.
You shouldn’t have to verse people you’d be versing at you PEAK just to CLIMB.
Anyways, y’all, keep poppin’ those blue pills.
Edit: I should also mention the inverse of this can be true, too. If you manage, somehow, to climb your SR ABOVE where your MMR rests, your presence will negatively affect the predicted winrate so you’ll likely be propped up with the better players. This partially explains both sides of the Overwatch is/isn’t rigged arguement. “Well my games are fine! Therefore OW isn’t rigged” - Boosted Mercy main whom’s SR is higher than their MMR.
