If SBMM is here to stay, let’s give the higher tier lobbies better loot

Prisms, rare chance of a shard, maybe some higher stat armor etc That way the system stays in place, lower players can verse each other, and if they want to put in the effort and get better to get better loot than why not?

  • I respectfully disagree. And I think you might be having a misconception that a lot of high skill players have, which is that the experience you've had against low skill players is universal. But it isnt. Low skill players playing against other players of low skill are having a near identical experience to yours, with meta chaser sweats populating every lobby, quitters all over the place, and very close matches. The only major difference is in wait times, since the low-mid skill playerbase is so much larger. I am a middling skill player. KDA has been holding consistently aroubd the 1.3 mark for the past couple seasons. I could hold my own, but there was always one or two players clearly leagues above me that would run the lobby. Either on my team or the enemy, either way. They'd roll over everyone, and the rest of us would be looking for scraps. That aint fun, nor does it help anybody improve their pvp skills. Since SBMM was implemented though, Ive seen significant improvement. My games have been consistently competative. Of the 25 or so matches Ive played since, only one went to mercy. The rest have been really close, my most reccent even having a rally for my team, closing a 60 point gap and winning the match. The meta chasers are still here, playing like their lives depend on it, the quitters are still here, leaving on their first defeat, but the overall quality of the matches have improved so much. As has my skill. Im not getting laid out every 15 seconds anymore, and Ive felt the room that's given me to improve. Im coming up with sight lines Id ne er thought of before, finally making better use of cover, jumps, ADS vs hipfire, etc etc. And again, every game is really really close. I have to play my best or I dont succeed. Difference is that my best is finally good enough to compete with the eneny team. If you arent enjoying sbmm, there are other playlists to jump into instead thst are still cbmm. Rumble, rift, and I believe survival are all still cbmm, as is trials and soon iron banner. If you want to get away from the high octane competativeness going on in control, you can always hop into one of them.
