Seriously— where are all these lobbies I am supposed to be stream-rolling
I keep reading threads about Masters and Preds absolutely rolling through lobbies filled with lower skilled players and how the matchmaking is non-existent.
Meanwhile I am STILL dropping into pubs with 70% plus Preds/Masters and losing 99% of my matches. I mean seriously, I’m not losing most of my matches because I’m below average— I’m losing most of my matches because I’m above average. Please take a moment to consider the implications of that.
And if I am consistently playing in these lobbies, other players at my skill level are too.
So what’s happening here? I’m not sure both things can simultaneously be true can they? Surely I can’t be exclusively dropping into these lobbies while other Master players are exclusively dropping into low tier lobbies.
I think SBMM is actually working as intended and protecting the VAST majority of the community from the top 2%. But there are hiccups; sometimes a premade Pred team will find their way into an “average” lobby. I just think it’s FAR LESS frequent than people make it seem.
