I’m actually top fragging more now so yes for the average player SBMM feels better. The top tier though with the small amount of players in that range however I do believe experience more sweat and lag. There has to be a balance for both sides. Everyone needs to have some kind of enjoyment out of PvP or the mode will die. Last season most of the casuals quit PvP so the lobbies were super campy and sweaty. It was boring. As I stated before split up the stacks of 3 or more or make a solo Que. Balance the teams. Or if splitting up is not an option make a solo Que. Keep it CBMM.
During CBMM the top players with 4.0 kda’s with 30 plus kills were totally enjoying themselves for the most part. Just farming kills. Myself the PvP addicted casual had fun for the most part with 15+ kills/assists a match with 1.26kda and above. Now the bottom players with 3 kills/ assists and a .4 KDA trying to just do bounties and catalyst quests,how do you think they felt? Hence why they stopped playing and the lobbies became sweatier and sweatier with more lag due to population. I play late at night in the PST. It’s mostly sweats playing during those times.
