Why is it that only the CoD community is so against SBMM? by /u/Plexicraft

Skill based matchmaking is what pretty much every game made since 2005 uses to balance matches in pvp.

I hear it’s a bad word (phrase/acronym) in the Apex Legends forums too but I think we can all agree the hate originated with CoD.

I’m of the opinion that as long as it doesn’t place you in lobbies with worse ping, sbmm should be in every pvp game. It should average premade group mmr as sophisticatedly as needed etc.

CoD players almost unanimously disagree usually stating they want to “relax and enjoy a casual game”. This to me sounds more like “I want to relax, play sub-optimally, and still win” which I feel comes off as ridiculously entitled and egotistical. Part of playing casually is that you don’t get to win as often as when you play more competitively.

What are your opinions on it and why?
