The SBMM complainers
How can playing lobbies knowing the instant you go in the odds give 40 guys you kill easy 10 you will have a fair fight with and 10 you already know beat you be a good thing? SBMM gives you a chance...

This is a competitive pvp game, matches should be sweaty. No matter how good you are, you shouldn't just be able to mow down everyone you see while chilling. If high skill players have the time to play to reach that level of skill, let them play against everyone else who does that.
Low skill vs low skill is never going to be sweaty, if you enjoy playing a game and want to get better you never think "oh man I hope I'm going to fight only noobs" no, you just hope you don't get into lobbies with people who play 4x more in a single day than you do 7/7 days a week when you can play only 4/7.
It's only the top tier players who won't have as amazing content to brag about that ever complain about sbmm.
All this considering there is a proper, unexploitable sbmm in place. A badly implemented sbmm, such as level based mm completely messes everything up. Then a streamer or content creator just makes a new account and dominates everyone, yet again, destroying the chances of normal players to learn the game. The smurf will only ever worry about people of the same skill, never higher, while new players worry about people with much, much more skill than them, only due to time spent playing video games, not actual talent.
Low skill vs low skill isn’t going to be sweaty? Sure it is.
The measure of how sweaty a game is, or how competitive a game is, is contingent on the skill gap between the teams.
If said skill gap is minimal— which SBMM sets out to achieve, then EVERYONE is placed in a competitive match.
- @Axs5626Sxa5001 I’m not saying low skill vs low skill is not sweaty for low skill players. But low skill players make bone head mistakes.. things like going for revives when they need to be finishing off the final enemy squad member. Higher skill players won’t do that..
Yes, I hear you.
My point remains that the experience for both (low and high skill players), is similar in that most to all matches are stressful/close due to the small skill gap.
And again— this is fine so long as it isn’t the ONLY experience the game affords the player base. I want sweaty matches because I enjoy them. But I (and others) also want the ability to play non-stressful matches.
- @Axs5626Sxa5001 Well it’s important to know that with 20 squads you have a 5% chance of winning. That means you have a 95% chance of getting slaughtered at some point. If you’re an above average player your stats should be better overall.
That said I’m a gold ranked player for now. I’ve gone into diamond with my diamond friends. We’ve had rounds that just seemed easy. Things just constantly went right for us. Then you have rounds in which you get melted.. it’s just part of a BR.
I think non-ranked is harder in part because people are more aggressive. I’m not worried about RP. So I’ll go into a fight I should probably lose, guns blazing.. i also push everything I hear and in general just want to kill everything I see. When it’s ranked I’m a tad more conservative with my play. I’m also more concerned about getting flanked in ranked and other things. It all leads to a much more cautious play and less aggressive.
Non ranked I don’t care.. if my squads down and all 3 enemy are up still.. i’ll run in there and try to down them all. Ranked if my squad mates are down, I’ll pop smoke grab their banners and run.
