I never got the SMM mentality. How smooth does the "ride" got to be for you to enjoy a game. How about the reality of not having the skill till you play enough to "git gud"? ;-)

People who are 'gud' don't need to sweat to win against people of equal/equivalent skill and experience. Only PvPers who aren't as good as they think they are, are worried about having to sweat in SBMM, because they actually have to struggle when facing people who are at least as good as them. If anything, players who are really 'gud', _enjoy_ playing against players better than them, because challenge is what they crave, and being challenged by better players is how they learn and hone their skills, instead of running around in stacks and using the meta to pubstomp newbies/lowbies. ;)

It’s no different now. And guess what? They’re still good.

That's what defines "casual" to me. Not the amount of time you have but what you get out of the aspects of progression and I think right now it's all about the instant gratification. And that's what lead to this SMM pickle we are all stuck in.
