If you insist on SBMM, make it regional
Tired of being matched with players on the other side of the world lagging everywhere and shots not registering, and getting killed around corners. If you restricted SBMM to regional players, these issues could be mitigated. Connection quality is so important. When connection is thrown out the window, skill means nothing.
Edit: I see some people equating skill base matchmaking to a fair fight. This couldn’t be farther from the truth for higher skilled players. In reality, the higher your skill, the less fair the game becomes. When the game has to cast a wider net to find players of equal skill the ping disparity increases. The higher the distance, the higher the ping. Because the game uses hybrid servers this creates an advantage for the hosting side. The farther the distance, the bigger the advantage for one side. This is why you often see games ending in mercies. Despite players being of similar skill, one side simply can’t do anything, while the other side can do no wrong.

I remember queueing on the wrong one every so often and basically being unable to even do damage to anyone. Did anyone get the survey/forum post asking about what changes they could make to PVP to improve it, e.g. spawns, modes etc. I answered when I can one v one someone where we both have the same 3 tap kill weapon but mine takes 10+ hits to kill them and theirs take 1 hit to kill me, or seems to, either its the multiple dmg from one hit issue due to latency or the lag is so bad I only see the one hit and die from full health instantly from my perspective but they actually did shoot x3, which it is I don't know but while that is the normal behaviour it makes any other changes meaningless. I gave up almost totally on PVP in this game seasons back, I don't know what it is with my ISP/connection, no issues with other games but bungos PTP performs for me at a level I would call unplayable now. Though it is not that much better even when it was CBMM because it still goes to those using coffee shop wifi on the dark side of the moon if that is all that is available. It not only needs to be regional it needs to be region locked, i.e. if I set Europe only then I will wait even if it means 10 mins in the queue, not try Europe for 10 secs then match the other side of the planet.
