what has been your experience with SBMM(skill based matchmaking) so far?
i know this has been talked about a lot at this point but i really feel like this is ruining the game for a lot of people. i’m not saying remove sbmm im saying take good care of it, fix it. i am a d1 day 1 player and at this point all i do is trials pvp and raids, grandmasters.i have 50k kills and my kd is awful because i like to just try loadouts and have fun i think its what casual control or pvp modes are for. that said i have trained a lot and i am much better at the game i consider myself to be an okay pvp player with 10 flawlesse and i can compete. however its not fun to get team shot and chased after 5 guys every single corner i turn because i match against sweat lords with 2kd and 150k kills(on steam PC) while i have a 0.86 that i can’t get up because i have too many kills at this point. and at the same time get matched with teamtes that can’t even win a gun fight, just rush mid map get smoked on repeat. they feed all the lives in survival so i dont even bother playing that even tho i think its a cool concept.they make the gap so large in control its unplayable. and if i am AFK or i quit now i am just punished out of the game for that in casual modes. somtimes its a phonecall, sometimes im litteraly answering texts and get booted off casual modes thats wild. so at this point i dont bother waiting really i just get off the game and go do something else.. i can’t even imagine a streamer thats HAS to force himself to play through that. my lobby litteraly felt like a skrim and this is the reason i am complaining at the moment my mind was just blown by how good and coordinated these stomp-skating apes were, not even 6stacked which is even crazier. every gun-fight was for my life honnestly. and while its exciting at first and it forces me to compete at a higher level, it gets exhausting very fast especially with how bad my teamates are. same thing for trials i litteraly could not get a flawless last weekend untill in the solo queue i met a guy that told me i had to BAIT my teamtes so i could be more efficient and secure rounds. that is just wild to me. i am getting very tired of playing this game even tho i like it a lot and i meet players that agree with this sentiment on the daily. please get this to someone that can make this matter.because i think pvp does matter to a lot of people. its where you spend free time with your friends trying out the things you grinded so hard for in pve. i think we could leave trials for the sweat -fest and reward people more so the pool is more diluted.
p.s. i did not go over connectivity issues, missing melee and the fact people still quit anyway because i am nice guy :)

What I mean is that SBMM brought to my personal experience new pros but also new cons. Yeah, matches now seem to be more balanced [i](not always tho)[/i], but also more intense and fought. Sometimes I have the feeling I'm playing a match in Ranked in R6 and not a Quickplay in D2. After 2-3 games I'm already tired. This is happening more frequently since I've reached the 1.38 KDA which I suppose should be my average skill level. I'm not exactly sure how SBMM works in D2, but sometimes I have the impression that the teams are not balanced on theyr Skills, but more on the "general skill level of the team" as a whole. So sometimes I'm matched with people with stats lower then mine and then one single person with stats much higher who actually works as carry. Basically, who eventually would get stomped, is stomped anyway. I haven't had many problem with lags, but those few times I've experienced it it was terrible. I've saved 2-3 clips that are crazy to watch. I don't know if this has to do with SBMM in general or the META, but many games end to be groups of people camping crouched with Scouts and Pulses on the other side of the Map or moving in packs. I'm not saying this is wrong, but it's really annoying to deal with. 1v1 are very rare... I mostly fight 2-3 people at once. This is probably also due the fact that I'm not a high skilled player and at my level [i](below average for sure)[/i] I meet players who are afraid to take direct fights. Leaver penalty or not, leavers are still present both in my and in the enemy team. Idem for AFKers. So yeah, nothing has really changed over all =/ I'm not getting stomped very often, but now I'm basically playing Ranked almost every game. I'm not destroyed by players who are much better then me, but I keep being killed by groups of people camping outside my radar and who don't capture zones. There are less leavers, but more lags (kinda).
