So exactly how would you propose this perfect matchmaking would be designed (think in terms of queue time, think player skill distribution etc etc) ? It honestly seems to me that what most SBMM-complainers actually really want is to be among the better players in every match without having to spend time and effort to actually get better..
Or do you want to make casual SBMM as strict as ranked? Whats the point of having the two modes then? I for one would not want to have my casual games only be Preds, master and Diamonds like last seasons when I was D2.
But you didnt really answer my question there, i.e. HOW would you want this perfect SBMM to work then? I just feel like people are saying "SBMM IS BROKEN FIX IT!" and havent even spent a single minute to think what they want and the consequences of that design. Do you demand that you shouldn't have a single predator or master in your matches? Thats just ridiculous.
When you say that you are sick of "facing against TTV tryhards", what do you mean? Because I have 2.7 KD, always been in mid Diamond every season and etc etc and just based on dive trails MY casual matches usually have MAX 3-5 Predators, 15 diamonds and the rest without trails (even though I realize some diamonds might not have trails).
So it seems to me that causal SBMM is quite soft, i.e. a good mix of a few highly skilled and many average players, which causal should be if you ask me.
But at least in my matches, the number of the real great players, i.e. 20k 4k banners Predators etc, is quite low. its usually the Champ squad and maybe a handful more but that it... Maybe my SBMM is bugged to my favor but I just dont believe people if the claim that their casual matches are super stacked with 20 Predators.....
I have 1.05 K/D im not try hard etc. But i am mostly with 4-7 predators in game, few masters and champions have 25K+ kills, on Xbox. Most predators are using the xim. Also i cannot understand they kills my team in few secs with 100% accuracy where a while later they are killed by low level or newbie when i watching them. Magic? No. Cheats like xim. EA should make some program which recording reported player who propably uses the xim last 10mins and someone should verifying this. Becasue this is riddiculus. I want to play ranked games but also there i have situation where was, platinium, diamond and gold(HOW?) Sometimes i see more predators and masters on silver and gold rank games than normal players what's going on? I think if someone gets once Predator is only matchmaked with predators on every type of game. It takes the fun. I don't say they should remove totally much better players on different server becasue you never learn play better but there is the difference when you fight with someone who reached predator instead platinium for eg. MM is broken.
@BabbediboopiAlright, I'll try to describe what I currently see.
Honestly, when I queue up by myself, the current SBMM doesn't seem to be wildly broken/bad. I tend to get a mix of normal players, and sweaty TTV tryhards. About 25%-35% of the time it seems like I'm killed by sweaty TTV players. But I really don't think I'm good enough to deserve to be placed against these people in the first place.
I'm a little biased against TTV players, and in a wild pipedream I'd prefer to have all sweaty TTV players in their own lobby. But that's not realistic as skill level still varies even for them. But all the same, I still think I should be rarely seeing Predators,150+ season win people/20,000+ kills, etc..(Season 2-3 it seemed like I saw these people every single match, so I can't say SBMM isn't helping)
This is where I see the main issue. When I play with a premade, it changes even more. The friends I play with are definitely worse at the game than I am. When they queue without me, they say their games are better, so my account seems to be secretly ranked higher. So when grouped with friends, my hidden rank puts us into a different matchmaking with 50%+ "sweaty lazered aim territory."
But I think a huge reason for this frequent sweaty aim is PC Aim Assist being so OP. I can't speak for consoles.
