You fundamentally don’t understand how SBMM works. SBMM by nature matches you against players you should win against and players you should lose against at a relatively even rate. It does this to better understand your skill level.

SBMM matches bad players with other bad players. Why are you pretending like the bad players wouldn’t get stomped all the time if SBMM was removed?

SBMM does in fact help you get better though, as when you get better and perform better it will match you with better players, rinse and repeat.

Last 6 years? SBMM has been around for going on 20 years now lol.

casual mode lobbies should be random and diverse.

Why? Like that person said - so you can stomp on low level players because you’re sick of getting stomped by people better than you.

I feel like you don’t understand how SBMM works based on your last paragraph. The point of it is that you will always be at or close to your skill level, and as your skills get better you’ll be matched with people of the same skill level. It’s actually good for your own skill and improvement because you don’t just get annihilated or do the annihilating every match since you got matched with plebs or gods.

Why, low skill level?

when in reality the moment you ADS when just vaguely near a target instantly snaps your aim to the target allowing a super easy hit.

I see you’ve either not played COD, or have only played the campaigns.

Australia isn’t really a great alternative to the USA. It’s incredibly expensive, we lack any real huge “wow” monuments/landmarks/sights, and it’s much more expensive getting around if you wanted to go from coast to coast (not to mention there’s basically nothing inland of the coasts).

BAFTA just needed to remind people that they’re wholly irrelevant and out of touch.

Yeah I’m not buying this at all. There’s always more to these stories than meets the eye, and it’s usually that the person is telling lies.

Why not? Are games worth less now to you than they were a few years ago?

Game prices don’t adjust for inflation every month/quarter/year like other products do, they tend to set a price and stick at it for an entire generation. Only in the last few years have we seen a free companies start breaking this tradition and start increasing prices mid-gen.

As it is, gaming prices are still waaaaaaaaay healer than they should be given inflation over the last 30 years, especially when you take budgets into account where games used to cost $50k to make but now cost $300mill.

Because of inflation, not just “because they can”. USD$60 in 2016 is ~USD$80 in 2025 thanks to the Covid money printing years of inflation. That’s a near 33% increase in costs across the board from the last time they released a console and priced their products.

As someone that grew up paying more for Atari games than I pay now for PC/console games, “GaMeRs” seem like the most pathetic crybabies who don’t understand much, especially economics.

Why are they “so expensive”? Inflation. Rampant inflation for the last 5 years.

When you look at the gaming industry, prices have stayed basically static for the last 30 years, way out of step with regular inflation. Inflation at the target of like 3% means games and consoles should cost 3% more every year.

Hamas should stop making their bases in hospitals.

Well the ones calling everyone Nazis at the moment are the ones that want speech censored and anyone that disagrees locked up and or rounded up and killed, so……They’re the real Nazis, And they love communism and Hamas.

I don’t hide my opinions, clearly, you absolute pencil.

Communism/leftism has really done a number on you.

Ah so you’re a terrorist sympathiser and fact denier.

Cool, but in Australia you’re still choosing between Albo and Dutton for prime minister. ALP and LNP for government. Turd sandwich and giant douche.

The electoral college etc have literally nothing to do with it.

You’re acting like their CEOs political leaning makes any difference at all to the company. It doesn’t. All people like you are doing is making sure everyone just hides their opinions to fool numpties like yourself.

Run along and draw some swasticas on cars while calling yourself the good guys.
