https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fvd5d3we60Shroud - pro level players - make noob accounts and play in Ranked mode - to strictly own noobs and make themselves feel like bigger people.For all your naysayers about SBMM - this is WHY SBMM needs to be implemented and at a MUCH greater level.This is just absolutely pathetic.You guys ban people for cheating. This is basically the exact same thing when you are at Shroud's level. How is this considered legal in any way? Welcome to how broken your system actually is.Free to play = the pros / preds can do this all day every day... Normal / Avg players will never advance when you have trash like this happening.

@Pha1n0 Shrouds Lost my Respect over that tbh

@Babbediboopi wrote:@ilya_lizard My point is that many pro-SBMM people believe that no SBMM means that every match will be flooded by predators, wrecking havoc on noobs, but according to the only available statistics that we have on skill distribution, the average match would be quite balanced with possibilities for bad players to get better and good players to not have to sweat themselves to death just to go 1 k/d,No. As a pro-SBMM I assume, that even one diamond player is too much in a noobs lobby. Also, as an educator and ex-military instructor, I know that the near-impossible challenge leads only to frustration and learned helplessness and does not provide "with possibilities for bad players to get better".

@SnuggleyPuffs It's not busted, and it's not built to cater to your needs. You, and all the other smurfs, aren't entitled to pound on lower skilled players, or play against those at the lower level of your friends.The system is built to create a competitive environment and that's exactly what it's doing. It's people like you who break it (to massage your fragile ego, or that of your friend's if you want to use that as an excuse to smurf).

"For all your naysayers about SBMM - this is WHY SBMM needs to be implemented and at a MUCH greater level."Yeah its a bit ridiculous when a top 500 player chooses to smurf in Bronze but I think its partly Respawns fault. Actually, SBMM in casual is the main reason why people Smurf. If there was no SBMM, then there would be no reason to smurf, providing they also had a well designed ranked mode to prevent smurfing, like a lvl 50 required lvl for instance. With this strict SBMM that exists atm, its impossible for Shroud to casually play with his GF, because the SBMM will put them into a Predator/master skill match also in casual mode.

This is why your game will ultimately die...

@Pha1n0 SBMM is the reason most good players make smurfs. I can’t even play with my friends because my lobbies make the game unplayable for them. Your SBMM has the opposite effect, it needs to just go away as good players are rare anyways so the chances of having every game ruined by predators is effectively zero.

You guys kill me. They only smurf because SBMM? Take out SBMM and they won't smurf?
So it's perfectly fine to wail on lesser skilled players? That's all you want? TOO BAD!
Yes SBMM will make better skilled players smurf, so they'll just have to do a better job of assessing skill so even smurf accounts don't last longer than a few games. Eventually the super skilled will either stick to their correct competition or quit, I'd be ok with then quitting, and i wouldn't doubt respawn/ea wouldn't blink either since they make up .01% of the player base.

@S8N_Spawn I literally have to smurf if I want to play with anyone besides my competitive team.... if I don’t the game is unbearable for my friends. So yeah, I had never once in my life played a secondary account until the game became an exercise in rage for all of my friends in casual lobbies. Smurfs play ranked because it is easier than casuals lmao, the system is busted AF.
