Re: Matchmaking destroying the ability of new players joining
"Skill based matchmaking is NOT....and I repeat NOT supposed to pair you perfectly with your skill level. "
And even if it was, that would actually be so terrible. I remember the period of time between Christmas and new year. I dont know if Respawn tried out a "narrower" SBMM or something but that was terrible. Every single public game was like +Diamond 2 ranked. I remember a public game that actually ended with a collapsing last circle and 5 remaining squads..... In a casual game!. The reason people had to play this way was because everyone in the lobby was so good, you would die instantly if you peaked your cover for a second.
People just dont understand that skilled based matchmaking that pairs you with your skill level is whats called "RANKED", so if Respawn just get rid of all the Smurfs, people who wanna play that way could just stick to ranked....
Honestly, I just think people have to rethink what a BR is. Its not a 1v1 or 5v5 with ONE winner and ONE loser. Its a big melting pot where you gradually climb the skill ladder. In the beginning, a win could maybe be just to win a 1v1. As you climb the ladder, good games could be to go even in K/D. For me, with 2.4 K/D, I see a game with less than 1.5k dmg as a total fail and generally a boring game etc etc. But It would be so clueless of me to only see an actual win as a win in this type of game. A 3k dmg, 10+ kills game is a total win for me, even if I end up outside top 10.
