Re: Turn off SBMM please!!

@Monhulio I'm not talking about the ranked scene, I'm talking about the casual matches. Ranked should still be working as of now, since sbmm is more or less the whole point of a ranked game.
Also, I didn't say that smurfs would disappear from the game, just that, at least in casual games, it would be unnecessary and obsolete, since you'll be match randomly anyway.
And because the average players outnumber the high-skilled with 10 to 1, there would still be lots of possibilities for new players to enter the scene.
Currently, the amount of smurfs and badly executed sbmm implementation leads to a constant battle which no room for casual gaming, so by removing it, you would, in the worst case scenario, have the same output - ergo, we've got nothing to loose and everything to gain.

    @GodisbullenWe ARE talking about casual matches. You did actually say it would solve the smurf issue in normal games.

    Not sure you read the brick but long story short:
    No one wants to play duck hunt in Unranked / casual matches.
    Except the people smurfing anyway.

  • @MonhulioYeah I did read your post, but I guess you didn't read mine since I said it would SOLVE THE ISSUE, not that they'd disappear. Smurfing would probably still be a thing, but it would be a non-issue and occur on a smaller scale.

    Non SBMM would result in a varied match, which probably mostly would consist of averaged-skilled players, but you'll encounter both newer and more skilled payers.

    @GodisbullenI am a level 500 preditor. Unless myself is Champion Squad then every single match i enter are level 100 or below players with well over 300 kills on their little itty bitty character. It is very rare these days to see legit players in our range on these banners. I play pre made almost all the time and we all are 500 being placed with very very low level players. We need our own lobbies for this to work properly.

    Level 1-100 their own lobbies
    Level 101-200 their own lobies
    Level 201-300 their own lobies
    Level 301-400 their own lobies
    Level 401-500 thieir own lobies

    I do not even care if you was to follow the mmo type games where when you group with high level it tells you that you are too low to gain experience with this player. Yea reject play from being hit so no high levels can invite their low level smurf friends. If them fools wanna play with smurfs they can create a smurf and stay in their bracket range to feel as if they are actually good. 

    This 100% fixes the smurfing issue for all. Let them play with each other only till they climb to our ranks.

  • @E9ine_AC I agree, I am lvl 500 too and i keep getting teamed up with lvl 0-25 now i wont mind playing with new players for some matches....but this now 8/10 matches
  • @E9ine_ACI agree with you about separating the lobbies and preventing high-skilled to be matched with new players, but not entirely by their level. There should be a few more parameters taking in to account, but I guess you just made a quick example, in which case I totally agree.
