    Remove it and then what? Can’t go back to the old system (which also didn’t even work and was complained about even more than SBMM is complained about now)


    instead: they should try to improve SBMM. Currently even the devs confirmed that the matchmaking isn’t even working the way it should to prioritize shorter lobby queue times. Backfill lobbies are also a huge problem.


    also make the score not solely based on escape/kill but let the pip also influence it without being the sole metric. Make a sophisticated and adjustable system instead of going back to a system that was also bad but gets a pass now because of nostalgia

    the sbmm often works better for me than the old system did. I have more balanced games. Before sbmm I often had to play as a rank 10-15 killer against red rank sweaty SWF survs.

    But I still find it silly to only rate players based on escape or kills. the system can definitely be improved.

    A lot of people may hate it, but most of them don't fully understand it or the purpose that it's supposed to serve, so are they really the ones who should have the most say here?

    I have had some of my best matches with SBMM. Its 101% better than the old system.

    Also, what if the Steam chart numbers are dropping for a different reason than SBMM?

    You cant just assume a reason and then say the numbers support it, you got to establish clear cause.

    I love how everyone says the game became harder on both sides... but sbmm doesn't work. Yeah, that doesn't make much sense. SBMM is not a problem, it is the imbalances in the core of the game that are. The biggest one that should be looked into, i think, is map balance.

    If the game is harder, then SBMMR is working. I agree with you.

    That's one game. It's very very unlikely that they're going to be facing something even equivalent to that every single match, so it's not going to really make much of an impact on their MMR.
