Idk man. I think sbmm is surprisingly good. I had a random squad with a pathy and we died quick. The next match the same pathy was in my squad again and I was thinking oh *... We ending up being champions with 6/5/5 kills and avg 1.5k dmg each.
I’m honestly shocked that there are some people here that still don’t know what the SBMM algorithm is doing when you solo queue.
If you are above average or if the SBMM system has “flagged you” for being a strong player, the algorithm will absolutely prioritize giving you weaker teammates so that the team is “balanced”.
This is TOTALLY fair in theory but serious issues occur when certain pre-made teams get dropped into the same lobby. In THIS event, the SBMM algorithm is actually setting you up to lose. A strong player with two lower level players (who typically don’t have mics— which is an entirely different issue) CANNOT compete with a premade team of 3 players who are typically above average.
The SBMM is failing in this regard and I think it has to do with the algorithm prioritizing its ability to construct a lobby as quickly as possible.
Personally, I think random lobbies would still be the “fairest” type of lobby, but if they are going to have SBMM, it would be nice if the structure didn’t ACTIVELY work against stronger players.
get 5 lvl LLis rlly bs to destroy ur mood gg respawn.
