I'm not buying this "Removing SBMM would ruin the experience for average and below players"

I'm not buying this "Removing SBMM would ruin the experience for average and below players". How many players are there in the most skilled tier of matchmaking? I'm guessing close to 10%, so people in the top 10% can basically only find other ppl in there as well. If SBMM was removed, on avg how many of the top 10% would be in every lobby? 1/10 obviously. That would mean every 6v6 lobby would avg 1-2 players that are from the top 10%. The avg for every 3v3 match would be below 1! Also, just because you're in the top 10% doesn't mean you're a great player. Majority of the players are good but not great, most of them have the ability to sway the score a bit but they cant control the match against an entire team. These are the players with KDs around 1.3-1.5 (I know KD =/= skill), they are the people affected the most by SBMM because they're pretty much only matched against players with better stats. Players in the top 2% with amazing stats aren't stopped by SBMM, they can stomp anyone outside of the top 2. The matchmaking progress for them is just annoying.

  • Ok. Here is the weird part. If you get so good that it bumps you up, but bumping you up makes your ld go down. So it puts you back down and your kd rises and it puts you in an endless cycle of kicking butt or getting your butt kicked
