Population decline thanks to CBMM means that you get matched with whoever. You thought you had lag with SBMM, well regardless what the matchmaking is the P2P network makes whoever host and guess what? Lag city.

[quote]Getting matched against Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Hawaii, Florida, California all in the same lobby. I’m in Minnesota. WTH is going on. Did you turn SBMM back on and completely screw everything up? Players teleporting, games taking 10 minutes to start again. Please fix it.[/quote] 🤣🤣🤣 I know it’s tempting to try and blame some completely made up HIDDEN SBMM.... but the reality is that the crucible population is low. When it’s low you get bad connections in matches more often. CBMM doesn’t only match you with player near you, with good connections or not at all. CBMM try’s to make matches fast and with players from near you. It doesn’t check connection quality so if a player near you has a bad connection but they are queuing the same time as you they are in your lobby. No one near you queueing when you are? Okay then we will grab someone from across the world who is. A lot of casual players aren’t enjoying the CBMM experience and are playing less crucible because of it, or sticking to SBMM playlists. The low crucible population is also split between platforms, and playlists so there is a much smaller pool of players to match with when you queue up. I suggest you prepare for it to get worse not better as the season goes on.
