The Failure of SBMM: Discrimination in Online Gaming Lobbies
TL;DR
Skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) in first-person shooters like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a necessary feature to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for both casual and hardcore players. While some content creators argue against SBMM, claiming it is unfair, it actually promotes a level playing field and prevents skilled players from dominating less experienced opponents. Removing SBMM would cater to a small minority and hinder the overall health of the playerbase.
