Think it's time I shifted from talking about sun setting for once given the ever growing appearance of people screaming for SBMM to return. Couple of points to make. Under SBMM. It only benefits the bottom. Connection instability. We're on a peer to peer system. Connection should be prioritised. Once you improve good luck coming down SBMM will force you to play rough every time. So how are we going to please a majority? I believe the matchmaking for trials holds that key but it's tricky business. We need a PvP matchmaking system that 1st and foremost prioritises your connection first. But then we need a card system of sorts so if you have that card in your inventory. You always play at that level. Make various brackets as it were. I'll use the current ranks we have right now as an example. Guardian - You play at the bottom. Rewards are basic. Legend Card - High stakes. Top end. Rewards are the best. Incentive is key too. But we can't have a sandbox in which only 1 group benefits. That just won't work at all. The saddest part here is even if such a system was implemented it comes with the drawback of "low card" farming 2.0. There would need to be a card lockout somewhere every month maybe? Idk. Once you advance out of guardian ranks you can't purchase that card anymore. Soooo low enough you can have the odd stomp , blow off steam , practice etc. But not too low the "newbies" complain. To prevent exploiting the low cards, I'd say the rank keeps increasing. Losses don't count until you leave the bottom brackets. If you've got ideas feel free to add them.
