      @@NerosCinema Team balancing is EXACTLY the best way to do it I just wish they had made default 8v8. This helps with the focus on TB instead of SBMM (It's how BF managed without SBMM for a decade+ - the team size, I could explain but, work it out, you're smart 'enough') 2042 only removed the server browser and implemented SBMM in 2042 due to crossplay - mixing input methods - it's simply not possible to NOT have SBMM in that scenario. Unless they made AA not AA but AB!

    No SBMM is what got me into this game. I know I'm still gonna have bad lobbies, but at least, it won't be decided by a fkn algorithm in the pre lobby. In cod, you do good ONE game and the next ten lobbies are the worst, then you have one more good game and then you start going against sweats again. You always have more bad lobbies than good lobbies because the algorithm is always there, waiting for you to do good in a single lobby so it can match you with sweats for a while.

    I don't mind being in sweaty lobbies, but I notice in my case as an "average" player (or at least I think I am idk my KD in warzone, don't know how to check) I get sweatier WZ lobbies more often than not. My first game is usually easier, then the very next game is blender town for the next 4-5.
    I just wish netcode was better in MW3 because I'm tired of losing fights I shouldn't be. I'll give XDefiant a try because it's different. Hopefully it's cool.

      I tell my kids all the time, I would rather constantly have a .7kd in a game without EOMM rather than having a 1.0kd and having to constantly predict how the game is going to manipulate me next. At least I will know where I stand. It gives me an actual purpose to focus on. CoD, to me, is nothing but a camo grind. The people I’m play against are irrelevant. I’m only fighting against the game itself.
      I have 3 accounts because of my two kids. There is a huge skill gap between us. Stats all have the same KD. My 12yo stopped playing all together months ago because even he realized no matter how much better he’s getting he can’t actually improve. The matches just get worse to play and it hates when you actually do win.

    The inconvenient truth is that the community ruins the game more than the Devs. MWIII is a damn good game when your lobby isn’t overrun by players that play 10 hours a day.
    SBMM/EOMM is trash but i understand it’s implemented to protect the casuals that spends lots of money on shop bundles.
    The % of sweaty players that infest the community now is insane. That’s part of the reason why the older CODs played better. The community was far more casual then. We played for fun and to relax. The monetization of gaming and social media has made it so now a majority of players now play to get popular on social media or feel some sense of accomplishment for being good at games. The fun aspect has taken a back seat. Disbanding lobbies and voice chat bans has also ruined things as well.

      The issue with SBMM in cod is that the system isnt really based on skill.
      In practice you will notice that once your skill level rises the only thing that really changes drastically is the amount of corner camping MNK players, the levels of semtex/stun spam and the usage of riotshields meta smgs and shotguns.
      Since every cod loby more or less feels the same after passing a certain ''skill ceiling'' many players eventually cave in and use the metas themselves i bet that 80% of all seasoned cod players have atleast one op loadout on standby should they go on an extended losing streak

    I basically always solo que games as I don’t run with friends and squads all the time. My KD is around 1.5 so that usually means I get squad fills with kids that don’t play that much or are lower KD and SBMM is trying to overcompensate. But the problem is that SBMM goes out the window when you have a loaded squad of sweaty teammates. So while SBMM is helping me load into games with an “evenly split team” I’m getting slammed by the good teams. Then the rare occasion I get a good squad, it just means that the lobby I’m in is insanely sweaty. So basically it ruins the experience for the majority of people like me just trying to enjoy a couple hours of gaming every night

    In MW 2022 whenever I had a good game, normally about halfway through I'd realize it just wasn't my turn to win and no matter how good I did, it'd be a loss, which made the entire experience feel bad.

I consider myself an above average player and since sbmm uses overall CoD account my lobbies automatically were sweaty and put into the 70-80 ping range when normally i'm in 40-60 range in most games. Recently hopped into BO4 on ps5 and got lobbies way faster and the experience was so different and FUN.
