Current Ranked is mostly Placement based. SBMM is skill-based.
Unskilled players in Ranked easily take Gold tiers because they play safe. Overall with how ranked system works everything below Diamond is not competitive (and Dashboarding seriously starts from Diamond therefore). More than that there is no way you can derank in Ranked due to loss protection. So if hit Platinum by sitting behind a rock most of the time doing nothing (like I did both seasons) - there is no way to go back; that's not a thing for SBMM. Which means you should not compare these 2 matchmaking systems.
However I do think they should make a separate SBMM Ranked.

You get the same results with SBMM. Especially in the higher tier ranks. I constantly play against lvl 500 4k 20kill players, and im lvl 350 with just barely the 2k badge on wraith. And as a solo player my team is just full of lvl 50 with no clue at all.
I dont know how it works but it just makes no sense.
This is the least fun as a solo player, cause there is just no way to win.

I'm pretty sure there is no sbmm, if you play ALONE for the first 15 20 levels you go against new players like you, after that you go against everyone. If you play with someone else, unless they are new as well, you go immediately vs everyone. People don't realize that within 60 players at least 7-8 diamond or above are axpected to be there.

@TommiSpageti I’m 100% positive there is SBMM. This is not even debatable. I have created several accounts to demonstrate this and all the results show SBMM at play.
It should be noted though, that cueing solo and cueing as a premade seems to enact two different types of SBMM. The algorithm will try its best to separate solo players from premade squads— this is why cueing with your friends typically results in more grueling/competitive matches.
