    Imagine caring about the matchmaking system on a copy paste game like call of duty and losing friends over it, actually insane.

      It’s perfectly fine to dislike the matchmaking, it’s just that caring this much is silly. “Imagine caring” isn’t a great way of putting it. I mean it is the exact reason I stopped playing call of duty myself, and I’d like for it to be better so I’d want to play again.

      Maybe before like 2022. Whatever they changed to matchmaking completely destroyed the game. Every single match became one side completely dominating the other until Round 6, then a couple people would be auto-teamed to balance, and the other team would dominate until Round 6.
      Every. Single. Game. Would go until match point. No one wants to play the same map with the same team for over an hour in CSGO.
      I haven’t played CS2 enough yet to know if this is still a problem. But it definitely seems back to how CSGO was before they completely destroyed it.

  • @rickavory
    @rickavory 10 месяцев назад +27

    I definitely see both sides. This one game I’m in suffers from the problem Hutch is talking about. It’s called super fighters deluxe, the only people who play are veterans who’ve been playing for YEARS, new players join get killed and refund it before the refund window expires. And there is little single player content for them to fine tune their skills in.
    Maybe SBMM isn’t the answer tho. Maybe if there was more single player content for them to learn, or maybe if there were beginner lobbies, or lower the price. I def agree that connection should be #1 priority.

    The solution is so simple and obvious it blows my mind nobody talks about it. Offer both SBMM and open modes. SBMM benifits lower skill players most.
    I consider myself semi-talented at fps games and SBMM feels like whiplash betweem stomping for a game and getting pushed in for 3 in a row. Its constant swing which is discouraging because there is no feeling of progression or reward for improving.

    the biggest problem with sbmm isnt even sbmm, its how business models work for these companies. the fact that money is made based on player retention rather than a consumer just buying the game means that every possible way that the game can trick you into playing more, it must do. if low skill players leave because they get smacked around in their first games then that is entirely on them as players and no one else. they should not be protected because they clearly dont gaf about the game anyway. high skill players on the other hand having to play every single match like its the super bowl is awful and makes the game not enjoyable to play whatsoever. the counter argument to this being "oh so you just want to play an easy stomp game loser" is so retarded. i want to play a game where in an unranked gamemode i play against a random pool of people. in this random pool of people, i win and lose based on my relative skill to the community and am able to play in a casual manner and have a chill time.

      No, 2009 MW2 didn't have SBMM. I don't think COD had SBMM until maybe BO3. SBMM is great when you have a lot of drive in playing a game at the best of your ability all the time, but if you are a casual who wants to sweat sometimes you will play against better players. But the issue is when you want to chill and not have to worry going passed a line because that will switch up spawns or whatever. It can be very draining.

It's some little kids, or some dads who play for like 25 mins to an hour and don't even know what sbmm is. All they know is that if they get stomped 3 times in a row, they'll never play/buy the game again. Yall people who are online complaining about sbmm are the vast minority of gamers. A publisher isn't gonna value your opinion any more than theirs, because they see both of you as walking money bags, and guess what homie, the other people are a much bigger pot of money than you guys are.
