@Balladalidila Well for one, ranked percentages are a bad measurement as even preds can still be in bronze rank and many diamond-pred skilled players don’t even touch ranked. The way it is now, if your slightly decent at the game, your going to have multiple 3 stack sweat teams, multiple preds and just loads of good players in EVERY lobby you get in to. It’s not fun having to go to ranked to get a break from sweating it out in pubs.
I’d say connection based is the superior way to do it. Completely coincidental and on average you would have a 50% chance to run into an average player, 30% chance to run into a below average player or above average player, 10% chance to run into a new/bad player or high skilled player and so on. Destiny 2 proved that this is what people actually enjoy having for matchmaking and it would be no different in any other pvp game.
Personally, I’m a 2 k/d player with a decent win ratio and that puts me in ridiculous lobbies with loads of players in the top percentile which I absolutely hate dealing with every single time I get on. People play ranked to be competitive and pubs to just have fun. Where is the fun in playing nothing but sweaty competitive games almost every match?
They could also have separate playlists for sbmm and for casual connection based so that new players can still face other new players and get into the game.
