Thats probably why you have a good experience!
And what exactly are you basing this opinion of yours off of…?
Source: Trust me bro 
And no, the difference is the SBMM/matchmaking in general is way more restrictive and uptight in Infinite than it has ever been, making every game a giant sweat fest. 343 has tried wayyy to hard in focusing on competitive gameplay in Infinite and removing many social aspects that has made it unenjoyable for a lot of people.
The ranking system is designed to make you lose 50% of your games, to keep you placed where their algorithm thinks you should be placed. Just say that out loud and listen to how stupid that sounds? They literally place you and keep you at what they THINK you should be ranked at by statistically making you lose half the time, instead of loosening the matchup restrictions and allowing you to dictate your true win/loss ratio for yourself.
Also how SBMM/MMR in social negatively affects ranked, the lack of casual playlist options, ect…I can go on and on. It was clearly designed to cater to nerd twitch 360 no scope streaming sweat lords so that more people would stream infinite gameplay and bring 343 more money but it’s had the opposite affect, and along with the many problems (desync, lack of content) has pissed people off who just want to chill with friends and play some halo and made them stop playing

I don’t know. I kinda feel sbmm should be there to some extent for ranked but separated from social.
Social is meant for kicking back and relaxing.

Which is hard to do if you get stomped on!
It’s good to have SOME SBMM. But it’s way too tight at the social level.

Never said it shouldn’t be there, obviously you need some kind of way to match people up. It is just way too restrictive and needs to be laxxed. H3 did it best. If you let players have a fun, social experience then ranked will naturally follow. You don’t need to try and force everyone to play competitively 24/7 it has the opposite effect

Don’t think its been made stricter in btb
Still getting games where both teams are mixed with good players & really really bad players.
If it was stricter surly it wouldn’t comprise teams with players that drop 30+ kills with players that get 5 kills 18 deaths?

Sbmm needs to mostly br for ranked and very loose parameters for social. How classic halo used to be. It should have matches that sweat, easer matches that are chill and some that are a little bit testing of your skill but not as sweaty.
I’ve said for a long time that party matching needs to return as well. Shouldn’t face a full team if I’m solo queuing. It’s just not fair
Oh it has i’ve seen multiple people complaining about it on Twitter on how they can’t find games as quickly anymore while their friends can find matches quickly
To which point brings me a good experience?
This is what I thought would happen. The new update though for ranked matchmaking ensures players are more balanced. Even though we know that isn’t always the case.
