That makes literally zero sense. The point of skill based match making is that you’re matched against people who are equivalent to your skill level. It allows skilled players to go against skilled players and newbies to git gud.
Idk there is something I miss about older games where I slowly got better until I was the person on top of the scoreboard.
Also SBMM has some problems for better players depending on the implementation, at the end of the ranking bell curve it stops working.
Often the skill difference between a top 100k player and a top 1k player is the same as between a top 1k and top 100 player.
But the top 1k all fall within the same matchmaking pool, even if it leads to unfair games.
Currently experiencing this within The Finals where I regularly get put against a full stack of top 20 players while either solo or duo q myself (were top 2500).
Probably frustrating for anyone who doesn’t want to play with others who don’t know how to play

What they are saying is if they cannot curb stomp noobs the game is unfair.

Well close, I’m saying I don’t mind being curb stomped as a noob by experienced players
And who do you play against early on before it has assessed your skill level?
