I like sbmm better. Trials is too sweaty for me in general.

Sbmm is a great idea as all the cheaters with insane stats would just match each other

Ye but Siths only believe in absolutes... "I have my opinion, and if you don't agree with it, then the only possible solution is one other option, or you simply must not care"

Why should we sweat and grind if all we should be doing is manipulating the network.

[quote]Why should we sweat and grind if all we should be doing is manipulating the network.[/quote] I mean obviously, why play the game when you can just... rig the game? Why do people have so much time on their hands that they actually bother with -blam!-ing CHEATING IN A VIDEOGAME? Read a book. Learn how to achieve financial security. Do something WORTHWHILE with your time that doesn't actively -blam!- over people.

Edited by Crystilonus2011: 4/4/2020 10:06:55 PMMost people don’t like SBMM because constantly matching you against those of your skill means you actually have to try every game as opposed to pub stomping for a few games, then actually trying. At least with SBMM, facing people around your skill helps you improve and get better. I went legend in comp twice now during SBMM actually. I think trials matchmaking is fine because of how the game mode is set up. Beat the best to be the best. It’s that second part that flopped since there isn’t any reward incentive to keep going to the top.

Sure some games are total blowouts, but that does not happen often. I know I've gotten better at PvP since they inserted SBMM, simply by how my movement, map-awareness and general game-sense has improved. CBMM in comp didn't give that sense of progression. Nothing I did mattered; either I got DESTROYED or I DESTROYED the enemy; No in-between. The people who advocate against SBMM usually give this argument: "How can you improve if you aren't matching BETTER players" and that argument is just broken. SBMM is not sofisticated enough not to match me against similarily, but better, skilled players. I will match better players, on a level that I can SEE what they are doing right and apply that to my own games. CBMM constantly puts me against slide-snipe-never-miss-a-shot-McGee-9001, where the gap is SO VAST there's nothing I can learn from that. I see him/her, and I'm dead before my brain even notices; how tf am I supposed to learn from that, let alone counter it? Point of rant: SBMM = Good, CBMM = bad.

I agree and see that from my own personal experience. I went to fabled glory in season 6 with help from some buddies when I got stuck at like 2100. Went to 3500ish in season 7. Season 8, I hit a about 4500 toward the end of the season. Season 9, went legend with my wife and some friends (grind was real at like 4900). This season, already legend. Now there are some other factors that may be somewhat involved, but even the people I played with all these seasons were saying I was getting better. Trials of Osiris. Never went flawless in D1, never went flawless in trials of the nine. First flawless was the first weekend it came out. Kinda cool as it was like a culmination of working at it. Still have lots to improve (there’s now way the sweat lords are winning just because of lag lol). SBMM required constant improvement and thinking and trying, things that most people seem to have an aversion to.
