SBMM, FBMM, CBMM PvP WALL
So ranked PvP goes great until I hit Ascendant III. Once I do, assumedly SBMM and CBMM start taking a turn for the worst. I take a break and go into Crucible, (Iron banner) only to be put in more SBMM and CBMM lobbies that are just as bad. Obviously, I know that lobbies are meant to get harder as you Rank up, that much I expect, however this doesn't feel like its harder. This is an unscalable wall of people with connections that don't match my own. I keep in mind the fact that SBMM places me up against people who's skills are similar to my own, however all the matches I got placed in wile still Low Ascendant III have been players who are NOT RANKED yet, Platinum or higher, and some people had NO DATA to find. Aside from the people who were NOT RANKED or had NO DATA to look up, I expect matches with people who's Skill are High Platinum I or Higher. I am still Ascendant III and do not plan on trying to climb any higher since CBMM seems to be the worse of the 3 Match Making systems. It's a shame because before Ascendant III, Adept felt pretty good.
Anybody else experiencing "THE WALL" after just hitting Ascendant III?
P.S. - I've been climbing Ranked solo since season 19 and hit High Ascendant II s19, I'm currently low Ascendant III this season, s20.

3 RepliesEdited by BraddyBo: 4/6/2023 5:54:49 AMI gave up at the halfway point between ascendant 3 and 2 last season. This season I decided to stop at adept 3. Too laggy, too many cheaters and not enough high ranked players meaning I only gain 5-45 per win and lose 50-200 per loss. I play comp solo and it’s alot harder this season than last season too.

I may be over exaggerating when I say this, but it felt like an even split of 30% of my games between Adept III and Ascendant III gave me +5 Points for Wins when I played well enough to earn more (It probably starts well into Platinum III). Sometimes I played average or below, still earned +5 and felt like I was being mocked by Match Making. 😒 If SBMM takes into consideration how well you played during a match or how much effort you put in to earn that win, then evaluations for those matches are broken. I don't believe anyone should exit a game of survival with 1.10 or higher K.D and earn an incredibly low amount of points for a win. I was under the impression that there was some kind of system in place for protecting the points of players who stay in matches when a team mate leaves the game or doesn't load in at all at the start of the match. Sometimes team mates would leave and by the end of the match, I would still lose a good chunk of points. This "forgiveness" program is most likely the source of all these +5/-5?
