Sbmm is broken
I understand not wanting to scare off new players by feeding them to the wolves immediately, but the sbmm algorithm you guys have implemented is absolutely terrible. It's made the game a sweat fest o...
Not that I'm saying u dont deserve the chance to win, but a player with minimal time invested and rusty should not be rewarded with easy matchmaking. That makes the people who are less invested in the game happy. To have a stable playerbase, there has to be a reward for skill players. Otherwise, why would anyone take the time to get better. The logic behind nerfing/limiting the high skill is wrong. This is the same problem that led to the death of fortnite. This problem frequently occurs in games
-regular players get dramatically better having adjusted to game mechanics
-infrequent players struggle to remain competitive
-game strives to keep infrequent players
-subsequently loses main player base in process
The way to keep the player base is by introducing new game play mechanics that dramatically change the meta of a game. In a sense, you need to leave all players clueless without changing existing systems. This will create a new learning curve that everyone experiences. Punishing skill players is the death of regular player base
You mean change the meta and deal with extreme backlash and abuse for the community. No SBMM doesn't give anyone a "easier" game it allows them to play people at there skill level. Why is that hard to understand people. Maybe it's still just as hard, but not fair, and gives one an opportunity to have some enjoyment in the game. And I wouldn't say FN is dead by any stretch of the meaning games level out but kids are still gonna be playing that game for years and Apex isn't gonna die anytime soon either because you have to play with others within your ability. ☺️
