You're getting the predictable hate from the pubstars and assorted Bungie bashers but I'm glad to see a top tier player approaching the issue this way. Particularly your part about mid-tier players getting better with SBMM because they can actually figure out what the hell is going on and work on their game incrementally. Too often I see the sweaty crowd claiming that SBMM is paradoxically bad for newer players too since getting roflstomped is [i]obviously[/i] the "best" way to get better... completely ignoring that the old crucible could be [u]very[/u] punishing and people like me stayed the hell away for much of Y1 because it just wasn't fun. But you are opening yourself up to some very fair criticism by completely ignoring the lag component so that's something you really should at least briefly address in any future vids - I can already hear the screams of "[i]zOMG lag killz f*ck you and your SBMM Bungo[/i]".... Lag is obviously something we all want less of but if SBMM went away tomorrow there would still be lag and people tend to forget that if lag makes you die after getting behind cover [u]you still would have -blam!-ing died[/u] without lag, it just would have happened quicker. I've played a number of games with dedicated servers and CBMM and I can assure you that those things don't guarantee a lag-free experience.
