@asukojo I'm wondering how many of those actually understand what SBMM is, or if they realize they've been asking for it all this time (getting similarly skilled teammates).

@DoYaSeeMe 

They want better team mate, but they hate better (sweat) enemy

I can't blame them for that, since they just want to chill on normal mode 🙂

    @asukojo If over 95% of a lobby wants to chill, why is everyone sweating then? 🙂

      When i play normal mode, I'm super chill :

       - I die, who cares, just repeat

       - team dumb, that's fine, it is what it is, sometimes I did dumb things too.

       - team bail out , so what, I just play solo.

      But when I play rank mode, i'm intense and sweat, totally different animal (mindset).

        @asukojo Apparently you’re not that chill, if you and your buddies bomb their twitter then come on here to complain, pulling a 95% number out of thin air.

        You can tel you and your buddies planned it.. it’s all on the same twitter post that has nothing to do with SBMM..

        A poll is meaningless, it can be ruined by smurf accounts. Toss in that most players won’t know the poll exists, what SBMM is or care to vote.. so you’ll round up all your like minded SBMM haten buddies and try to skew the poll into your favor.

        Give SBMM some time, your stats will adjust and you’ll be dropped into a lower rank lobby. Toss in that if you’re playing with a high rank/skill friend you’ll end up in a higher skill lobby that is above your skill level. That does not mean SBMM is broken, it just means your going into lobbies with players above your skill level.

      @DoYaSeeMe mind blown

      Seems everyone just wants to smack players while laying down or gaming with one hand while eating with the other.

      sbmm isn't all that bad unless you truly just want to mess around, in which case they should not remove sbmm from casual but add some more unique modes so those players can go mess around in other modes.

      Honestly though, what do we gain from them removing sbmm? I know if they keep it, more players will learn the game curve better and thus won't lead to being in squads with randoms who don't know what an accelerator is for.

      This is starting to sound like how people wanted the abandonment penalty removed or reduced. It's all to help the game strive towards a more competitive setting by letting players learn not only in ranked but in casual as well.

        What do we gain by removing SBMM in pubs?

        We gain the option to play highly competitive games or more casual games. Options are a good thing for players/consumers.
