This one in particular I have not read (though I will), but I've read a few white papers on eomm. I'm not at all convinced that the concept is inherently evil, just that it is poorly implemented in this game, as is the sbmm which it overlays.
For me it boils down to the fact that whenever a game has a skill ceiling as high as this one does, ANY kind of matchmaking algorithm will struggle no matter on what criteria you base it. With that always in the back of my mind, I start to ask myself at the end of any given match: If I know I'm set to lose roughly 90-92% of my matches, does it really matter to me if they're close losses or blow out losses? To me it really doesn't. I know it does to most people, and they're not wrong. Losing 90% of matches because you had no chance of winning is not the same as losing 90% of matches in hard-fought, close call endings. Except to me it kinda is the same. I guess I'm the guy eomm was built to suck in.

@reconzero lol, I hear yeah. This was EA's beast, this particular one. Let me know what your thoughts on this one is. Curious to hear.
