I want to preface this by saying I'm definitely not a great Mordhau player. I stick to Frontline most of the time because I think it's the most fun, and I'm consistently in the top 3 on the leaderboard. I'm above average for Frontline, but definitely not the best. With that said, Frontline suffers from a major problem: curbstomps. It's just not fun to be on a team that can't even get out of spawn without being f*cked in the ass by 3+ enemies. I just played a sh*t game of crossroads as red where we couldn't even get out of our f*cking spawn because the ENTIRE blue team was there. Of course, this made people on red leave (I don't blame them, either), so the problem just got worse and worse. In my opinion, curbstomping/steamrolling is the current #1 problem in Mordhau. No matter how good you are, there ain't sh*t you can do when you get gangbanged right out of the spawn.

There was talks on discord of looking into some sort of hidden mmr for balance, or a way to separate people under a certain level into their own games before Mordhau has a free weekend. But I imagine if it happens that's still a long way off.

It's already a thing but it's negated by being able to directly join a server. We enabled server browser visibility for officials when we were having matchmaking issues, but now that player numbers have dropped it makes sense to keep them joinable from there. IF we push a sale/free weekend I know that I will be pestering the team to put officials back to matchmaking only for the big modes.
