@DarthValtrex Skill based matchmaking impacts your initial drop and early game. For instance, you have Player A (high skill cap) vs Player B (high skill cap). Player A and Player B land in the same area, but due to RNG, Player B is unable to find a weapon within the first few spots he checks. As the result of Player A finding a weapon and having superb aim, he proceeds to insta kill Player B. Before SBMM, another layer or RNG existed (player skill). So if Player A is a lower skilled player and misses a few shots this allows Player B to escape. Now if you get a string of poor RNG in a high skill cap lobby this can lead to a string of 10 plus games of frustration.
In a game like COD everyone is of equal health and has weapons, so skill is the only determining factor.
You don't have to agree with me but that's what makes this games SBMM so frustrating for my friends and I. I've actually started playing other games because I'm not having fun. Every game is punishing and like a ranked game but there is no reward for your effort. I don't enjoy beating up on new players, I enjoy the randomness of fights that it provides. You win some and you lose some. You have fun along the way.
