IB is CBMM not SBMM. The only mode that has SBMM is survival & elimination.
There is, according to many on this forum, SBMM in the shape of lobby balancing, but I have yet to experience any sign that either this is working to balance the teams or actually exists.
What you also need to consider is that IB is probably poorly populated atm as there is no need to suffer to get 4 pinnacles if you have been playing since the start of the season so you are more likely to match either the sweaty tryhards or newbies that picked up the 30th anniversary pack but not much in between.

I found another post that informed me IB was not SBMM after I posted. I know it used to be. My main has been at 1330 for a while now. Just hitting IB to finish the alt’s. So I’m one of the few in between. What you’re saying makes sense as to why I’ll do well one round and total opposite the next. I get to trash newbies for a round then get crushed by the try hards. Thanks for the info
