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 ...

@Axs5626Sxa5001 Is that not the exact point of sbmm? To play against people of your skill level? He says he has 20 bomb and 4k on all. Holds a world record for what ever he said above. My highest is 27 kills and 5400 damage which can be seen on google search of my name not that matters. My entire point with his skill level of 20 bombs and more yes he deserves to play with the best of the best.

If get destroyed by lower levels that is not a problem.. That is they got luckier or got the jump on you or some players just make mistakes of what they should of done and die. This can not be blamed on SBMM if they killed a pred of his statue this means they do have some skill. Preds should play with preds I know because i play against them every single day up to 15 hours a day at 3500 hours.I do not mind to who i die to. They got the better of me simple as that. Do I blame SBMM to dying to a 3 stack pred team or lesser? No because im a series 3 pred who actually did not dash. I deserve to play against them. Just as he does.

@E9ine_AC Right, and I’m saying the point of forced SBMM is actually wrong.

Forcing players to “try their absolute best or get melted” for EVERY match is just not sustainable. This literally only benefits low skilled players and the gaming publisher (because they earn those low skilled players money).

There should be a SBMM mode and there should be a casual mode (with random lobbies). The later would provide players with variance; sometimes you will run into better players and sometimes you will run into lesser-skill players.

If lesser skilled players want to avoid ever running into more skilled opponents, they will exclusively play the SBMM mode. The important thing here is CHOICE.
