Train, skill level and leaving

Train mode shows very quickly how many low skilled players there truly are.  It's nice compared to looting with them only to find it out in our first fight.  Needs a leaving penalty.  For some reason...

I have been enjoying this game mode!
I have been averaging 5 - 9 kills per game.
I think the player base has been getting better.
The game are getting sweatier.
It feels like a superbowl football game..

I wish their was tournament mode to this game mode.

    @hhnbbfggty66 Agree. I’m having a blast as well. This mode allows a lot of combat time and that’s very enjoyable.

      People seemingly don’t know how SBMM works. It’s basically what you state. Lower skilled are in same game as higher skilled so there’s an average skill lvl. 

      If done effectively every team should have a certain degree of skill. Lets say we nummerize skill and you have someone at a 5 and two at 8. The mean score of the team would be 7. The SBMM should put other teams around that mark up against you, but if you put premades in the the mix and lucky-streakers, you get a good vs bad setting. 

      So it’s not that same skilled ppl go against exactly the same skilled, like alot of ppl think, cause there’d be too many variables to calculate who’d go where.

        @Koochi-Q  see that was my understanding, but when playing with rando's and it sticks me with a level 6 and a 14,  meanwhile I see a champion squad where all 3 players are roughly at my skill level. 

        I'm not complaining the odds are stacked against me, as i welcome the challenge, it makes me a better player.

        I'm just not sure where the SBMM would be coming into play in that scenario as it's just taken 2 extremely new players and thrown them in a lobby where they're going to be completely out of their depth.
