Skill based matchmaking makes badges unobtainable

I'm a Bloodhound main with 10000 kills and I dont have the 20 kill badge.  Admittedly Bloodhound is the hardest character to play and get a 20 kill badge with.  But the problem isnt the character or ...

    Badges are pointless anyway.  Especially when a large percentage of people who got the hard ones cheated, cheesed or colluded to do so.

    You actually think SBMM is fine? It’s totally not fine.

    The higher skilled players (on average) obviously put in more time than the lower-skill players. Although there will always be outliers and “naturals”, practice usually correlates to skill.

    To criticize this group of people is silly when they provide legitimate criticisms of something that is concerning is silly— especially if that criticism is “you play too much.”

    SBMM is great when it helps new players learn the mechanics of a game. But when you force SBMM in all modes, you are literally saying to people “the more you invest in getting better, the more the game will punish you. The experience of lower skilled players matter more.”

      This is definitely my experience lately. I wish it would let me upload my photos to prove this. This game is punishing me for my good season 5 performance. 

      I will try to upload them again here. 

      Keep in mind 9 of my 12 wins was from ranked because I started in bronze where the wins were super easy.
