Smurfing and SBMM are beyond a joke

Adding the option to report smurfing is a step in the right direction but it’s not enough, and half the time it doesn’t let you anyway! I’m not sure if this is because people just set themselves to o...

@Axs5626Sxa5001 I agree with you. I’m not on your level skill wise, I occasionally land in your lobbies. When I am in them, they are definitely difficult and an entirely different game. Some of those players just have insane movement, i’m trying to chase them down and they are shooting me in the back. I’m sitting there going uh I’m so confused!! Lol

@DarthValtrex Hey at least the game is swinging you between lobbies— this provides you with a bit of variance (sometimes your games are hard and sometimes they are medium difficulty). I find it concerning that people want STRICTER SBMM, which would actually make pubs more consistently difficult than they need to be.

Additionally, asking for stricter SBMM is also like saying “I want to win more and I want more skilled players to lose more.”

And of course, the most extreme argument I keep hearing is “all players should win at the same rates and skill shouldn’t = winning more.” This idea is the most ridiculous to me.

    @Axs5626Sxa5001 yeah, it’s good for me though and the player base, when I’m doing well I’m not destroying people who have no chance against me.when I struggle I get into lobbies I can handle.

    That’s why I’m supportive of SBMM. But I don’t think we need another top tier. Those lobbies would be insanely difficult. It would also take forever to get a match 20-30+ minutes. When I’m posting 1500-3k rounds and in the try hard lobbies, match making takes a bit longer.

    @Axs5626Sxa5001  The irony is a lot of the people smurfing are doing so because they feel the exact sentiments you right now. Only they lack your morals and will happily whompe on newbs instead lol.

    So yeah, as usual it all boils down to sbmm and the impossible balance issue lol.
