    How about dedicated servers where users can play against the same people for more than 1 or 2 matches and get better without randos smurfing and griefing?

    SBMM should be an option but not the only one. Actiblizz can kick fuckin rocks.

      Why do people hate sbmm? If people had the choice they would always pick the: 10 year olds with a begative k/d option.

        A lot of the problems I used to have with SBMM when I would still actually play CoD is that you’d have one good game and then next thing you know you’re playing the next couples matches with people who absolutely mollywhomp you into the dirt with ease.

        It just wasn’t fun and felt like it was actively punishing you for playing good one time.

          That sounds like it’s correcting too aggressively. Perhaps it should take into account the last three matches before adjusting your ranking.

        I wouldn’t…I like the struggle. It’s only fun to dominate when it feels earned, I want to feel like I’m playing at my best more than anything

        I personally don’t hate SBMM, but I hate that it is the only option in modern competitive games. When I want to sweat, SBMM is great.

        But sometimes, I want to goof off with other people. I want the option to play de_westwood pistol/shotgun only server again if I so choose.

        I want a little bit of control in my gameplay experience. Nowadays, it’s either ultra try hard or people not giving a shit mode, nothing in between.
