The only people that suffer from SBMM is high skill players that want easy kill streaks and those types usually throw games to lower their ratings to go pub stomp lower skilled players on their streams. Look at all the hardcore players of Warzone championing the removal of SBMM because they were matched against other good players and they didn’t like it. Going so far as to create alt smurf accounts to get around it. If SBMM works there will be no MLG players in your lobby once they are assigned higher ELO or whatever they call it in this game. Which would give you exactly what you want, people of your skill playing against you. In ranked I don’t think its as important as skill gaiting will exist to keep you at the rank you belong until you improve if they don’t give you participation trophies/EXP for just being in a lobby even if you play bad.

> > Huh??? Which would give me exactly what I want? What I WANT is to NOT have to constantly face players on my skill level and/or above my skill level. Like I said, I love a challenge, but when I go into social, I do not play it to go full sweat, you get me? I play it to relax and mess around. I don’t want to sweat all the damn time. I can’t speak for every high-skill player, but some of us aren’t interested in playing with other high-skill players simply because we WANT TO JUST CHILL. Why should we get punished and always be forced to sweat? Some of us find Smurfing accounts pathetic. Some of us don’t want to take out SBMM just to get easy killstreaks and a higher k/d. Seriously, like who even cares about K/D anymore? Unless you’re going negative, it proves nothing.

> So you’re saying you only want to face players less skilled than you in social? What about the less skilled players? I’m sure they don’t want to be absolutely crushed by high skilled players like you who “just want to chill”. Sbmm is there so that all players can have matches close to their skill level and nobody gets stomped or does the stomping. Sure it means that higher skilled players don’t destroy in their matches but the trade off is better for the health of the game and player retention since new players don’t get destroyed and quit playing. If playing a close multiplayer match isn’t chill enough for you, play against bots, they don’t mind getting stomped.
I’m sorry, but do you have like a short attention span or something? I mean, I’ve realized that people in recent years have developed a short attention span, but c’mon, bro. I’m going to say this one more time and read carefully
SBMM should ONLY exist for Ranked Playlists. Social Playlist should just simply be a “mashup of everyone’s skill level”. Do you understand what that means?
It means that everyone will get the same experience. How? Because, like how there is always someone better than you, there is always someone far worst. it will just be a mashup of different skill levels.
That’s how it was before 2019. Games were more relaxed in social playlists. For example, and I really hope you’re actually reading this time, Battlefront 2 is a game I’ve mained for 2 years. That game does not have SBMM. It is a far more relaxed game. However, the only flaw is the fact that it doesn’t have it’s own ranked playlists. Therefore, you will run into tryhards that are in squads more than you would otherwise, but still…compared to the other modern shooters I’ve played, Battlefront 2 (a 2017 game) is far more enjoyable.
On the other hand, there is splitgate. A game that has SBMM. Do you know what happened after I played my first few games on PS5? There were like, “Wow, this guy is pretty good. How about we pair him with players that are not only on/above his skill level, but they are on a full squad too 
”. I shouldn’t have to worry about queueing in solo, just because of a stupid thing called “SBMM”. And you know what’s really funny about SBMM? It’s that, no matter what game it is, the teammates I get paired with are NEVER on my skill level. They are always far far worse
Oh, and get this. Despite a game like Battlefront 2 not having SBMM, do you know what happened when I downloaded the game PC and played it for the first time? It paired me with a bunch of new players 
Why? Because, the game recognized that I didn’t play a certain amount of matches and get a certain amount of kills to get paired into, for lack of a better name, “mashup lobbies”. And do you know what happend when I played my first few games? They were like, “Wow, this guy has already reached the threshold for kills and matches. Let’s go ahead and put him in the mashup lobbies’ where he will face players who are either worst/better than him when it comes to gunskill.”
So, when it comes to new players, even with SBMM off, new players won’t have to deal with players that are more experienced.
Play against bots? Ha, tryna crack jokes, are we? Well, it’s pretty boring and frankly, unrealistic to get a perfection every game, so I think I’ll pass. I don’t exactly know what your definition of “chill” is, but if it’s “playing close multiplayer matches”, then hey…You do you, bro. If that’s what you’re into, that’s fine. Personally, I’m not a fan of sweating all the time, but everyone has their own things that gets them going.
