[i]sigh...[/i] more and more i see these posts... Here is what i have to say on the topic Understand [b]both[/b] sides of the arguement before you outright dismiss it. So here are somethings that [b]wont[/b] be fixed by removing SBMM and why 1.getting stomped by better/sweaty players or getting paired with bad/"thumbless" players [i]listen, would it be nice if you only got paired with people at your exact skill? Yes but let me make this clear. If you are the top 10 percent, youll be paired aith other top 10 percent players. Meaning people who are at the top of the top 10 percent will stomp you out of the top 10 percent. Players will artifically lower their skill teir to "frag" lesser players and there will still be the meta controling those levels and you can still be paired with people at the lower end of that percentive teir.[/i] 2.lag [i]believe it or not, not everyone knows what "port forwarding" is, not everyone knows what NAT status means. So, like in every other online competitve game youll get lag. Youll get laggers, youll get lag switchers, nothing much you can do.[/i] You meed to understand that, unless youve worked with matchmaking algerithems you should consider what goes into "matchmaking" from both perspective, using the cod matchmaking would be impossible because that mechanic is copyrighted.
