Lets Talk About 'Skill-Based Matchmaking'?

the whole point of a BR is that you get tossed into a random game of 100 people with random levels of skills and try to win. What is this pubstomping everyone is talking about. Not everyone is going to play like a bronze nor have they ever even before sbmm. And if you are bad at the game and want to play in lobbies of people around ur skill level then play ranked.

I think this is an underrated comment. A BR is a competitive environment where you have people of various skills duke it out. I do also discuss the counter-arguments to this claim and how I disagree with those counter-arguments in separate response posts here. If they want to add a ranked mode so it is people of a similar skill, I do not disapprove. But if they planned to just give up all semblance of a casual mode, I feel disconnected from the game I did appreciate. I believe a lot of other players feel or will feel this disconnect as well based on the discussions I have had. 

Ranked does to a good degree accomplish what these people in support of the current state of SBMM imminently desire. I encourage them to play ranked and keep on playing while expressing how they feel.
