I still haven't heard a single credible argument on how matchmaking is supposed to work with three teams. How do you account for a scenario where one team is fighting 4v8? I don't believe it's possible at all.

this usually happens:

a) because the 4 that fight 8 are in the lead / lookin to win. this is how it should be.
b) because enemies are stupid, see below
c) temporarily
d) through mistakes of that team (e.g. move between enemies , engage too early, fight near enemy spawn)
e) because of personal disputes (statistically negligible)

b) may be the biggest problem but this is actually solved by any decent matchmaking system. it's a big mistake for the part of the 8 that is not in the lead and over time these players will end up in lower skill brackets. properly playing the game will bring people up the ranks, fighting with and against other players who cleverly pick their targets.

sure, even perfect matchmaking will have terrible games that are lost form the start. but fewer of them. you argument is like saying dotas/lols matchmaking cannot fix the problem of malicious trolls that play against their own team. while this is true to some extend, it is also very false: by improving and making your way to the top, the chances of such a thing happening dimish and for those that already are in "low-skill" brackets, all they do is to behave properly themselves and thus the chance is to for their team to get a toxic player is slightly lower than on average and thus the player has an easier time going up the system
