Lets Talk About 'Skill-Based Matchmaking'?

@JiboTV I wanna say you're wrong but that's too short.
if SBMM is there, than everyone should be getting tracked from the moment the play meaning they begin to move up from skill level 1 thus always pitting them with players who play like them and if they manage to defeat them with ease over and over, they should be moving up at a reasonable pace, however the matches won't be getting any easier as the system thinks you are naturally this good always which is why higher players constantly have to keep trying and trying against others.
I still believe SBMM is fine where it is, I still see Predators in my casual matches and sure sometimes they get one over on me or I get one on them but that just helps me get better vs constantly fighting people I barely have to try against. I could jump into Ranked and get closer to Pred to see how it feels to constantly fight sweats to help better understand but from what I have experienced now, coming across players who are on my level isn't a big of an issue to me because again, it's not ranked and theres no punishment for dying. Sure I can't get 10+ kill anymore but I like my stats to reflect my actual skill vs. my skill against noobs.

I dont want to have to play at peak preformance every game. I dont want to be improving my skill level every game. Sometimes I want to get p2020 kills or die trying

I have articulated similar responses, I appreciate you adding your insights to the discussion. I don't think everyone wants to have to improve every game or just die, sometimes you just want to have fun. That is harder to do at my SBMM rank, especially if you have lower skill friends or do solos. I appreciate you taking the time to write a response, thanks for explaining your experience with the current SBMM system. People do not seem to understand that at lower rankings you are able to make more mistakes and won't be as punished, but your performance is held to an insane standard the further up you go. Benign things turn to little mistakes. Little mistakes turn into big ones. Big ones turn into giant ones.
