@l_mRGogo in my opinion a fair SBMM would be something that takes into account:
1) current rank and no matter what each server should be filled first with same rank people before any other logic kicks in t.i. whether Diamonds join Masters/Preds or Platinum.
2) depending on the lobby server/game should set a benchmark e.g. is this going to be D4 level average lobby or D2 etc. *set parties should be given extra "boost" as it is now to view them above average t.i. set 3 D4 player squad should not be viewed by the server as 3 random player D4 squad, latter should have an easier lobby preferably.
3) within the same rank (average set above by the server) people should be compared by the last X (say 10-20) game average RP = they are either good shooters or good playing for placement but either way, get the job done equally well.
4) based on the above teams should be compiled.
Also, SBMM should look for as similar players as possible not e.g. create "D3" level team from 1 D4 person 1 P4 and 1 10k+ Master, instead, it should be at most a mix from D4-1 player team.
Finally, if there is a shortage of players I would say top ones should suffer (I hear Respawn did the exact opposite change a few seasons ago allowing Preds and Masters to go into Diamond lobbies if they do not have enough people).
Shortage on top level should be sorted in some other way or just left as it was = Preds/masters waiting for a game for 20 min, given that's what it takes to be TOP 750...deal with it, own your crown, suck it up and carry the burden 🙂 Also who knows if the top would stay the same if lower-ranked players would be given a fighting chance instead of being constantly owned by higher-ranked set parties - let's face it none of the Pred (except hackers) play solo-queue and most Masters also have set team(s) and they might hold back a perspective Diamond player from ranking up just by that fact that they get easy escape way due to "lack of players" and get "fed" Diamonds who play with randoms, increasing RP gap more and more.

@EREGDSCurrent rank? Isnt that what ranked is for? So a person that made pred and then stops playing and is now in bronze should be with bronzes? This is how ranked is now and new players have horrible experiences because of it.

I asked before, you didn't answer, I'm asking again.
@hayhor What things do you think should be taken into account? How would it be better? exactly how you would like it to be ? Don't be afraid to speak your mind. I would appreciate it if you could explain in more detail. (About SBMM)
- 4 years ago@hayhor in my opinion that is a temporary issue and Preds that want to get back to Pred will slice through lobbies very fast - day(s) max weeks.
Also, inactive Preds probably is a lesser issue than smurfing Preds/Masters and everybody else who are still getting into lower rank lobbies.
Every system will have flaws and will not EVERYONE happy 🙂 plus will be exploited one way or another. Thus my opinion of current rank satisfying most of us 🙂 - 4 years ago@EREGDS Inactive players issue is as bad as smurfing I reckon, even tho inactive players rank up quickly it still would be disheartening for actual lower ranked players and goes against the motto of 'fight against similarly skilled opponents'.

@hayhor
If SBMM had worked properly, the number of smurf accounts would have decreased slightly.
I think you should start a thread by collecting your thoughts. I would love to see your thread.
