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
great job your suggesting that the game should only serve the people that are pros and that new players are there too be farmed, awesome solution…
