What's wrong with skill matchmaking?

A friend of ours has 100 hours on Dead by Daylight, and plays with us who have 1000 hours or more. How is it possible that in every damn game we meet someone who is level 100 or who always has 3000 hours or more? but how does this game work?, obviously our friend finds himself dead every game and gets bored.

    MMR takes the average value of your lobby and finds a killer accordingly. However, even if we were to assume that your own MMR is pretty high, this is still a bit weird. Someone that has just started the game is unlikely going to have an average to high MMR, so this should even out around the middle. Maybe these killers are actually in the middle as well and you just have bad luck with them being P100. Not everyone gets to high MMR (and that's good).

    probably because the p100 guy is not good at the game or he tries to low his mmr somehow

    the matchmaking gap is not based on hours but MMR, and the window is very big and gets bigger over time because it was designed to prioritize speed over quality. This in addition to a much larger window when trying to replace someone who's dodged a lobby means you (as killer, solo survivor, or SWF) can get placed in lobbies that seem way too easy or hard and can easily have thousands of hour gaps between players.
