do priority passes decrease the quality of matchmaking ?

My friends were GM in Season 5. I wasn't playing OW at the time but eventually they got me into it. To make a long story short, they eventually made alt accounts so they could queue with me in Diamond. You'd think we'd be stomping everyone in a 3 stack with 2 "GM" players, but no, we don't. The only reason they're still GM in the current season on their mains is cos they got there when the game was relatively new and the way the placement system works, they'll always at least place Masters and just need to somehow scrape 3-4 wins together to get back to GM and never touch ranked again til the next season. I'm sure this applies to a loooot more people. That's why ranked games suck at the beginning of a season, especially for you higher ranked players.
