haha in news today - I know from friends the COD Cold War SBMM is EVEN more aggressive than COD MW.
But is this still technically "cheating" if players are not even participating in game yet and just back out in lobby stage?
i.e. In Apex. How many people quit lobby after seeing their 2 squad mates rank & banner stats in public matches...

The amount of effort people put into COD to reverse boost 10 times to get one good game, Low rank host parties, smurf etc. What a hassle, might as well just not play it anymore.
One good thing about Apex is that if things go south and not your way, getting into another lobby within 10 secs is faster than any other BR game
