>turn on skill based matchmaking>game punishes you for playing well>99% of players quit because the game is just forcing them to lose to maintain 50% win rate
>turn off SBMM>don't give the players servers, just throw everyone in the same pit>SEE SBMM WORKS I TOLD YOU I TOLD YOOOOUUUU
Oh no i have to play with people with similar skill to me
>>750586345>plays running and killing game>cares about match making
>>750586925Matchmaking:>hackers are ruining this game, this game sucksServer browser:>Hackers are ruining this server, this server sucks. I will find a new one with active admins
why do jeets shill so hard for sbmm? literally the same arguments for it every single thread
>>750586491They tested this and found it to be false. SBMM has less people quitting.
>>750587070then why was the petition about sbmm and not matchmaking?
>>750587132You mean against? It's insane how much India hates any tech that filters them like SBMM.
BF5 is unplayable because every server has a level 500 guy that just rapes everyone with a plane. Go ask any player why they quit the game without playing at least 10 hours theyll say the same thing. You no life fat niggers want SBMM gone because all you want is killing players that dont even know how to play
>>750587132they can't deal with actual competition
Good thing SBMM is here to stay
>>750587250>we investigated ourselves and found us doing no wrongdoing Lol, they don’t care about player retention only maximizing revenue. It doesn’t matter if 80% of people don’t like it if the 20% that get baited by the engagement loop spend more money on microtransactions as a result. In fact you can directly see it in the concurrent players.Call of duty is not as popular as it was in the 2000s despite the industry exponentially growing in size
>>750587579>>we investigated ourselves and found us doing no wrongdoing Huh? SBMM is not illegal. Are you stupid?
>>750587579>COD is not popular anymore because cod players are playing other games that also have sbmm in them
>>750587657>>750587726Reeks of a bot post. Every other game has also declined. The exact reason friend slop became a thing is because it has supplanted matchmaking games with friends
>>750587579>Call of duty is not as popular as it was in the 2000s despite the industry exponentially growing in sizeThird worlders and people who can't afford a normally priced game aren't important for anything.
>>750587930The demographics call of duty has suffered the most player falloff is literally europe and the US
>>750587882The statistical evidence is right there. Turning off SBMM causes players to quit.
>>750587250>This thing you hate is actually good. Trust the expects. We are the science.
>>750586345The same /v/ that cries about SBMM ruining games also cries about getting shat on by snipers and bombing soldiers in TF2. /v/ doesn't want to get rid of SBMM, /v/ wants to wave a magic wand that bans every player who's better at the game than them so *they* can be the pubstompers instead. It's all 200% unwarranted egoism by the unskilled and mediocre.
Why does COD of all things even need SBMM? It's a casual fucking game. 15 years ago people maybe would've cared about sweatlords 1v1nning each other (on consoles with pads so essentially about as engaging as competitive tic-tac-toe), I don't think anyone gives a fuck now.
>>750589692Nobody gets to pubstomp in SBMM unless they're smurfing, so essentially nobody ever gets to have fun. Without SBMM you stomp, you get stomped or you sweat. With SBMM you just sweat all the time, and CoD is not a game that's fun to sweat in. Most games aren't. Cause they're fucking games. People don't even sweat in IRL sports unless they're pro or have delusions of going pro.
>>750586345You're all missing the bigger point here. Does ssbm push away the people that actually spend money on the game? The skilled ones aren't always the biggest spenders. So whichever option the devs go with, the winners are the ones that actually buy skins and stuff.
