SBMM Unranked - Tail Wags the Dog

Seen it before... Company wants higher player retention so they seek to protect the newbs. SBMM is such a protection. More newbs stay for longer, the stats say so, the game must be healthier! We have extended the product life cycle, right?!

Wrong!!!

You've alienated your players who want to have fun and enjoy the time honoured tradition of pub stomping with friends. You've made a game that has ranked and ranked match making.. one just comes with points and the other doesn't. 

And the truth is, the tail wags the dog. Your experienced players will lose interest and the bottom will slowly fall out from underneath you. Meanwhile, those newbs eventually get better anyway over time, and eventually reach the same conclusion as the prior experienced players. 

The tail wags the dog. 

Please remove sbmm from unranked. Leave sweat games for ranked mode.
