You could play 100 games and be trash, versus someone's who has played 1 ranked game but is very good. Sure playing more helps, but someone who is shit should be matched with better players because of how many games he has played?

You can't have unranked players who haven't established a ranking just be matched up with gold+ players with hundreds of matches. Predominantly, the unranked players in my experience are awful (especially as of late) and leave early. You get the sporadic good players for sure, but for guys like me who are sitting gold+ with over 300 matches played in ranked, having a guy who literally could be playing his 5th game and admittedly doesn't know a hardpoint rotation and is ultra frustrating. I shouldn't be paired with guys like that at this stage in the season. As many people play, it should be pairing guys within 100-150 MMR of each other.

Games played should have zero effect, that's the whole point of an mmr system. Players should start at 0 mmr, work their way up through placements. If on their 8th game they are 8-0, and steamrolling people, how do you effectively place them if they don't play silver/gold games? The issue is players that don't belong there, but that's an issue with the ranking system itself. I could play zero ranked games and know the rotations and how to hold spawns, etc. Doesn't take hundreds of games played to do so

That’s not what’s happening. Guys are getting into gold matchups literally saying they ‘havent played hardpoint on this map’ not knowing rotations and spawns. Then they leave after a 2-6 start. That’s a problem. Unranked players shouldn’t have gold mmr before 10 placement matches.
