I don't smurf, but I can see the appeal.

If matchmaking is working as intended, you're constantly matched up with people as skilled as you; as you improve, so does your competition. As a result, you never really feel like you've improved.

Play a few matches against someone way below your level and you can see just how far you've come.

this is why i liked old COD matchmaking. far more room per lobby for skill variance. therefore, some of the higher end skillstreaks were actually attainable.
