I try and run the minimum every week but before the SBMM I'd flat out get run over in the game. SBMM put me with my peers (low tier I'm sure) but there PvP was fun. I could see people making the same stupid moves I was making and actually learned something from that. I never learned a damn thing prior to SBMM other than take cover and take your beating. SBMM was great. Not sure it's in play anymore as I'm getting my butt kicked again...
