Re: Matchmaking worse than ever?

@IdleHandsNo1What’s your definition of EOMM?

I’m think it’s an interesting conversation.

Many people define SBMM as a matchmaking system where people of similar skill are forced to play each other. And many people define EOMM as a matchmaking system that curates lobbies to keep people playing.

EA has already run research on how to optimize player retention. The results show that following a good performance, making the subsequent games harder tends to hook people into chasing that next win.

Respawn themselves have outright said that they “don’t want people winning or losing too much”. LMAO.

Lose enough and you’re  intentionally dropped “down the matchmaking ladder”, where you’ll eventually find a win. THIS actually is an experience that optimized for engagement.

So yes, Apex does indeed use EOMM.
