@Cheese9Man I, like most people who are taking a non-kneejerk reaction to SBMM, don’t have an exact answer.
At first I thought pubs should be random but its clear that this scenario would turn off a lot of new players. So we do need a degree of SBMM. Does that mean that everyone should always magically play their doppelgänger? No, but again I admit that this scenario is still likely healthier for the game.
So, my newer and more current stance is:
Players forced to compete in high MMR lobbies need to be compensated. This can come in the form of double exp (which means the level cap needs to be dramatically increased), crafting materials, or special skins.
I know people will fight me on this, but I’m pretty sure this is as far as I am willing to budge on an activity that’s PVP. Competence and skill have to afford rewards that warrant people reaching a high competence/skill. The journey has to be worth it.
