@budzai I do not want to abuse bot lobbies. You don’t know me so stop being silly. I am not the top tier player you are assuming I am. I am average. Maybe a smidge above. Yet my games require HYPER-FOCUS to place top 3.
Why?
Because the SBMM algorithm specifically selects my opponents to be as competitive as possible (when playing with my friends). This means EVERY gun fight is grueling. If matchmaking was RANDOM then sometimes I would engage guys better than me and sometimes I would engage guys less skilled than me— what’s important here is the overall experience wouldn’t feel like effing MLG tournament level play.
Forced SBMM in all modes only benefits two groups:
The bottom of the skill curve and the company (because they are making money).
