This problem is actually worse in other shooters though. Even though my pubs are crazy sweaty, my Arena pubs are even sweatier—other games like CoD and Halo have SBMM more akin to Apex Arenas.
The devs/publishers’ goal is the increase the likelihood that lower to average skilled players win— this is because they are the largest player demographic. The misconception is that SBMM is about “fairness” and its not. SBMM is a tool used to increase the likelihood that lower to average players are primed to spend money.
High ELO players are already going to spend money. They are hooked. That’s why no one cares that the game isn’t as enjoyable for them.
It’s December 2021 and I am still struggling to win my pubs. Pubs feel like Diamond Ranked. No one cares though lol. SBMM algorithms are only going to become more nuanced over the next decade or two. So I totally expect the notion of “casual gaming” to phase out for multiplayer games.
SBMM in this game is just pure toxic garbage
