    Honestly, games need some form of SBMM. Otherwise you just get pub-stompers every lobby that make the game unfun for everyone but the best players.

      Before SBMM you stomped some and got stomped in some, no matter your skill level, because you sometimes had worse players and sometimes some better players. It made the big wins more exciting and forced you to try new things to win vs better players. It’s incredibly bland playing against the same skill level, every game is predictable and you will never improve as a player.

        You fundamentally don’t understand how SBMM works. SBMM by nature matches you against players you should win against and players you should lose against at a relatively even rate. It does this to better understand your skill level.
