      If you're above average at the game, they don't. If they earn money from the game being good for low skill players, they will earn more money from 10 of those players buying the game than you leaving it.

      In Halo MCC in social games, there's no SBMM and I get put into a lobby within 3 seconds and it usually puts me in the server closest to me so I have 28 ping. In Modern Warfare/Warzone, there's SBMM but it still manages to put me in a match where I have 30 ping and some other matches where I have 50 ping. Cold War on the other hand with it's SBMM purposely puts you in a 50 ping+ if you are doing well. When searching for a match, it tries to find the closed servers of 30 ping and then instantly expands the search to handicap my experience so that the enemy has a better connection and therefor they'll always see me first

    @luxtraaaa 4 года назад +23

    I really hope someone will read this:
    the hidden system is based on movement and/or on how many people you were able to actually damage in a round.
    How I came to this conclusion:
    I had a friend play on my PC and he plays very slow and often dies without hitting anyone in a gunfight. He isn't sliding or jumping like me, he rather preaims corners and plays it safe.
    After he played 2 games and got completely destroyed, I played again and got into a TDM lobby with players who barely moved, BUT managed to kill me everytime, because they preaimed me with AUGs. The lobby played like his playstyle overall.
    With my agressive playstyle I always ran into their AUGs and went 14-23. Yes, I went negative AND my team lost the game too.
    I managed to do some damage in gunfights before I died though, even if it was just a few hitmarkers with the Bullfrog.
    Now, I was sure that with my terrible performance and me losing the game I would have a rather chill next round.
    But it was the exact opposite.
    I joined into a game in progress with the ENTIRE enemy team being level 100 and they had streaks up.
    Could have been a 6-man-party too, who knows.
    My team had 3 guys with level 100 and 3 others with lower levels (including me).
    In conclusion:
    the key difference between me and my friend is that he moves less and slower AND he is usually dying in gunfights without being able to damage anyone. These 2 factors alone were enough to put me into such a brutal lobby.
    Also funny to mention how my ping went from the first round with 25 to 45 in the second round. I also had 30% packet loss and the connection interrupted symbol when I joined that second round......

      Yeah, being matched depending on your input speed makes sense. People who rarely play games barely move and can't aim and move at the same time. Separating them from the regular gamers would actually make sense because they don't stand a chance. That would actually even be somewhat positive side of sbmm.

    2 years later it's still relevant... I saw a comment on Ace's video which said it's not skill based matchmaking, it's an engagement optimized matchmaking. It was developed to replace that gambling factor which was previously provided by lootboxes, and activision found that players enjoy gaming sessions where the players appreciate winning more if they lose matches too. Yes, you have a hidden elo score that somewhat mirrors your skill level, but it is not for you getting matched up against people with the same elo score, it's for getting matched up against players whos elo score fits the addiction pattern that they think will make you like the game. When your pattern dictates it's time to have "your fun", you'll face players with lower elo scores, when your pattern requires you to experience defeat, you'll end up matched against highly skilled players. There is even a tiktok video about it, not sure how trustworthy it is though.

    I get no enjoyment from playing Cold War because SBMM, obviously, and the gunplay and realism is a step back in my opinion. So I really hope the next BF game is a home run because last year was a great year of COD for me, a return to form with MW, but CW might be the last COD game I buy after playing the franchise for 11 years.

But apart from that lobby for the very new players, there should just be the normal lobbies (without SBMM) again. Completely new players joining the CoD franchise today have a much harder time catching up to the 10+ year veterans, than when you joined fresh and the other guys only had 2-3 years of experience, but once you've played for some time in the protected bracket you should be thrown into the pool with the rest of us.

Activision is collecting client data like what you see on websites like tracker.gg which they get from an activistion api so this confirms activision is storing/collecting client data so whats to say they aren't at runtime manipulating accuracy and damage based on player skill? all of the things on said patent are plausible to do with code you just have to have the data first then they can write a system/algorithm to check/change said parameters at run time based on a conditional which would be in simple form is client good or not if so do this else do that. I miss black ops 2 days where SBMM was in its infancy aka it wasn't even close to what it is now back then everyone was closer to an even playing field it came down to skill and connection based matchmaking and the game didn't cuck you if you were good or bad. #BoycottTheBattlePass #AddressSBMM

    "The ping and time for matchmaking went up as the skill went up" - This isn't that weird in of itself, though.
    The higher your skills, the lower the player pool, the more difficult it is to find people near you.
    The further away people are, the higher the latency from you > server > player and vice versa is.
    Not to mention how stuff like packet loss and lag compensation factor into these things.

    • @KeeperG-wg2yt

    I've been saying for years there should be two playlists: a ranked lobby where you get an actual skill ranking and you play with an emphasis on skill bracket first, ping second. And then a casual random lobby that emphasizes connection and very lightly based on skill, I.E. a complete noob still shouldn't be grouped with a team of nolife pub stomper 16 year olds.

      It’s true in Warzone also
      Most of my time was controller/console with a shitty overall Warzone kd of .87
      I switched to keyboard and mouse and found mouse aiming to be much easier than controller so I quickly was able to raise my overall Warzone kd above 1.2 playing on the same linked account
      Only recently though did I start noticing something was up with my aim. Now I randomly have entire days where it feels something is actively fighting my mouse inputs and making it harder for me to track players and those days I end up average negative kd. I’ve never been a negative kd player since switching to keyboard and mouse so I’m not sure what’s going on
      In CW I have a 1.67 kd, most play hardcore because the hit detection and amount of damage you must do to your opponent is unreal. Also, by the time you kill a player in regular core the spawns will have most likely flipped so you just go 1 for 1 constantly.
      Even playing hc I notice after a few good games, I begin getting tons of hit markers but can’t finish kills or my shots just don’t register

    Great video, we really appreciate all that you guys do for this community. I'd just like to share my experience with CW; being an above average player (1.9KD) who only plays solo domination, this game has been nothing but frustrating for me. I know you guys noticed an increase in ping times with your higher skilled accounts, did these matches include more players that seemed to be able to see you earlier than you see them resulting in them shooting you first (on their end) and killing you even though you were already ADS/shot them first? This seems to happen to me most games.
    I'm from Australia and there's only 1 server location which is in the same state as me so my ping in game is always 20-30ms (I have a direct fibre line) but it feels like I'm playing 100ms+ compared to previous titles which is strange because I don't see a lot of people complaining about this and don't understand why it's happening to me when I have the best ISP in my country and a stable line with no jitter/packet loss.
    A lot of the time CW takes a while to find me a match and when it does it's connected me to a server in Asia. Sometimes it'll connect Asian players to our server and the entire game feels "choppy". When I do get a local server, I'm usually up against max level sweaty people partied up. If I do well against them, the next game I'm guaranteed to be "playing in the past" where everyone can shoot me before I can even aim, get lots of hit markers or killcam shows my bullets fly around the enemy etc despite having 20-30ms ping. I wouldn't be surprised if these people are from other countries connected to our server, I guess that's why they don't show everyone's ping on the scoreboard.
    I found that if I join session on my friends they find better connection opponents because they're in a lower skill bracket. CW definitely sacrifices opponent connection quality when you're in a higher skill bracket. Most of the time I'm getting connected to my local server location with 20-30ms ping but the ping of my opponents could be 100+ that's why the game/hit detection just feels off. The only time I've had a comparable connection to previous titles would be the first day or two after both patches dropped. It was almost flawless, felt like I was playing vs local bots being able to 1 burst people and watch them drop as soon as I bursted them never happens during a normal game. It was amazing. I feel like this is probably the connection most people experience when they say the M16 etc is overpowered. Sorry for the long post, hope you read it and can agree or relate to some of my experiences with the data you found. I really hope they fix this game cause those 2 days where it ran great was a better experience than I ever had on MW and a lot of those games towards the end of the year the connection was excellent.

At 2.35 e/d 900 SPM 2 W/L my queues can often take multiple minutes. In a party of 5 high skill players searching for 6 game modes it took over 10 minutes to find a game - Longer than the actual match we played.
