This is true. When i'm playing with clanmates that have a worse kd than mine (1.24), every game mode suddenly becomes a breeze. This is especially prevalent in iron banner. I get the best around or "on the bright side" with a ridiculous kd while they share the same experience as you do (2-15 something). For me personally, it's refreshing to the sweaty MM that i encounter when playing solo. But i know it's not especially fun for them, especially when we're losing. Playing PvP with friends could be lots of fun if SBMM wasn't as prevalent as it is now.
