Is R6 ranked skill-based?

Yes, Rainbow Six Siege (R6) ranked is skill-based, using a hidden matchmaking rating (MMR) to pair players of similar ability for matches, separate from the visible Rank (like Copper, Bronze, etc.) that reflects progression, though the visible Rank and hidden Skill might not always align perfectly due to the system's complexity, especially after Ranked 2.0 changes that emphasize wins/losses over individual stats for rank movement.

Unranked has a higher skill window, meaning that if you play at a lower skill level, there is a higher chance that you will come across a higher skilled player.

How does the R6 ranked system work?

Rainbow Six Siege's ranked system (Ranked 2.0) uses a dual system: a hidden Skill Rating (MMR) for matchmaking and a visible Rank for progression, with Rank Points (RP) earned/lost based on winning/losing and your Skill Rating. You start each season in Copper 5, and the system quickly adjusts your RP gain/loss to push you toward your true Skill level; once there, RP gain slows, making climbing harder, while losses hurt more, reflecting your hidden skill. Matchmaking focuses on your hidden MMR, not your visual rank, meaning you could see players far above or below your visible rank, though the system tries to find high-quality matches.
