The SBMM needs to be based on more criteria. They cannot just base it on headshots and total kills. They need to count hit vs miss, analyze player strategy, and calculate growth over time. It would make the most sense in Arenas but less in BR. BR teams currently seem to be one superior player, one newbie, and one in the mid ground. Yet I have witnessed the superior player will be out classed by the newbie. If the superior player is based on kills, level, and headshots they are overlooking the fact the player has been in the game longer. For example; new player is level 10, has 4 headshots, and 20 kills. While the elite veteran is level 240, has 48 headshots, and 310 kills. The quick math here shows that the new player has 0.4 head shots and 2 kills per level. The veteran they got teamed with only has 0.2 headshots and 1.29 kills per level. Arenas need balance more so because of 1 vs 1 team. Battle Royal is less likely to need this but it would also be impractical on the scale of 1 vs 20 teams. Let's not forget how many BR teams will end up with one player wanting to separate from the team and go their own way. This alone handicaps the remainder of the trio now a duet. It only takes one member to screw it up.
