I've noticed the difference in SBMM since the mid season, it's just sweat after sweat, being hunted down by multiple teams and players who are way above my (admittedly terrible) skill level
While I do still love warzone this past week has been terrible. I've got a kid and a full time job so I only get one maybe two nights a week when I get to play. Last night my buddy, his brother, and I played 10 matches. My buddy has an .93 kd his brother has a 1.3 and I have a .89. Every single match was the sweatyist. I've never had such a shitty time playing. I'm not great at it but before this week I was averaging at least 4-5 kills a game. Last night my best was 2. I don't mind a challenge but it's getting fucking ridiculous. Also I didn't have a match with a ping under 90 all night.
Lol i have 60 wins and my friend 259 and another 90 and another one is 170 so just imaging the enemy teams ffs , its too sweaty every match . We cant even breathe
Same here. I have a 2.3 KD On warzone and i swear most of my matches where with Godtier 2-5 kd players... reverse boosting nearly becomes a must otherwise the game literally gets unplayable!!!
I want a permanent "No Load Out" mode that rotates it's gun drop rules maybe once a week similar to the gulag. I'd be fine with Solos and Trios only if the player numbers couldn't support otherwise. Playing against sweaty players who follow the meta is stressful and our group tends to avoid it. I also like being forced to change styles and work with what we pick-up. It feels more balanced as someone whos group will never focus enough to go for load-outs asap. I'd also find it less intimidating knowing each fight isn't potentially stacking me against someone with an out of game loadout drop vs my group of friends that just wants to run around the map and see what happens with what they find. Plus you can have fun weeks that focus on more pistol drops, Shotty Snipers, only 30-40mag assault rifles, etc...
If that was a mode they should replace plunder with it then there would be 2 fantastic game modes. Plunder just seems so boring but other wise I love this idea.
This 100 times. The best time I had playing warzone was definitely when they had the "classic" game mode (which is exactly what you described). I kept waiting for it to come back, but I guess it wasn't very popular with the player base or something.
As far as SBMM I heard like two years ago about an experiment with rats where the rat would receive a reward for participating in a game of sorts. The researchers found that only if the rats experienced a certain success rate would they continue to play the game. Perhaps the easier lobbies is the systems attempt to make up for the lack of wins. Also maybe the first game of the day=first win of the day pattern could be the system encouraging players to jump in a play session. I dunno if this makes sense and I can’t remember who conducted the study and I only heard in in passing so my recollection could be off but here’s my thoughts on it.
yh 100% was about to type this i feel like they programmed sbmm so that whenever you dont get wins for a period of time it eventually puts you in a lower tiered lobby that increases your chances and you either rack up loads of kills and be abit satisfied or you also win and they keep you as a player still interested in the game. personally my experience has been that the less game i win as the days go on, i eventually win multiple games in a single day that breaks the cycle of bumping into hella sweaty players and exchanging downs and kills just to get 3rd partied and wiped.
notME Yeah that’s how sbmm works in multiplayer so it’s probably the same in Warzone. If you don’t do very well for about 5 matches, then it takes you down a level in skill brackets for a match or two then it tries you again in the harder lobbies. It kinda pushes you to get better but if you’re already reaching your skill peak then it gets incredibly tormenting 😆 that’s how I feel atm in multiplayer. Bouncing back and fore between easy and sweaty.
Activision and Call Of Duty has been using high level psychology to keep people addicted to the game since Modern Warfare 2, it became extremely apparent for the original Black Ops, with the screen flashing, rewarding sounds, etc
This wouldn’t surprise me at all and I feel like this is what is happening. It’s all a ploy act to keep everyone playing. 1 or 2 easy games to make you feel on top of the world and enjoying yourself to then making you have a horrible time. This incur would make the play crave the feeling they had earlier on the good game. If all the games were easy I unfortunately feel like lots more people would loose interest and they don’t want that.
That's exactly what these guys want. They want to come up against teams like that all the time instead of competitive matches. Considering they have hundreds of wins I find it difficult to feel sorry for them.
@@experssion123 I've always had +100 ping since warzone came out and i don't have a big problem with it and the lobbies seems not hard to me even though i have +300 win and 5.01 KD witch is pretty high
Another update for me playing Warzone: I’ve now experienced the hackers, I’ve seen 2 of them today out of 4 games, but at least I’ve been leveling up so I can get better loadouts, and also I’ve seen SBMM go up, too, I’m still a noob and all these sweats are absolutely crushing
I have the exact same problem it’s really annoying and it ruins my games, it is very hard to have fun now especially hard to get better hopefully they do something bout it soon.
@layney boy to my surprise in Warzone I usually make it to 30th place, which gives me plenty of shooting practice, it’s just that these guys are hard to beat
@Chase Nelson yeh that’s what I’m saying like it’s so difficult to vow these types of people and get better when you are dying all the time sometimes I feel like landing dam and hiding in that tunnel above it all game because if I try to maybe even risk my luck at farmland some nerd finds his way there
If you are a noob how would you know the difference between a really good smurf in low level lobby or someone with aimbot or wall hacks? Too many people crying "hackers" these days
SBMM has definitely taken the fun out of Warzone. Was winning a couple a week now not won one for about 2 weeks, connection is worse and people are camping even more and I think that is because of the SBMM. It's slowly getting to the point will stop. A lot of my mates already have.
Yeah it's hella frustrating I hover around 2.4kd and my friend is around 1.2kd and literally every lobby we get ran down and curbstomped before we can even get a loadout. Its just soul draining to even play to have fun
@@dbskulldb4496 so what you are saying is playing against people with similar or higher KD is difficult for you and that you prefer stomping on lower level players to keep your KD where it is? Weird confession
@@Thabzzz Not at all, as I said we get run down in every lobby, I don't mind a challenge, but having to sweat in every single fight is just borderline insane. Im okay with getting destroyed occasionally as its usually a nice way to improve. But getting sweaty lobbies where every single engagement is playing like your family is at gunpoint when you lose isn't. And I dont know why you would assume I would prefer stomping either, that isnt even fun but on the other side of the spectrum. Id like to have fun when playing with friends but lately its getting borderline impossible to just chill down and play a fun game of warzone.
furyblade yt 40 with Ethernet plugged in I play on Xbox. I’m a big halo person. but I have an alarm system at my house that runs off the WiFi and when anyone opens any of the doors in my house I have about a 4 second delay.
Correct. It means to make it difficult for (someone) to win a game or contest by trying hard and playing or performing well. *_"Though they lost, they gave last year's champions a run for their money."_*
lol profession cod player is complaining about being matched up with other pros, just imagine how us filthy causals feel playing against y'all who play several hours daily.
But that’s the thing, due to SBMM: you will never get paired up with good players like this lol. Who exactly are you getting paired up with if you’re a casual?
Tomo: *uses less than meta weapons to win games* Me: *tries the same load out and get zero kills three games in a row, switch to my usual M4 and repeat*
Finally someone going into detail about the SBMM lately, it's making the game lose the fun factor for me, don't see why they can't use a system like apex and have ranked and casual modes.
@@shinobikydex2509 people will play in exactly the same way regardless of game mode , people that drop shot, jump shot, quickscope head shots are not gonna suddenly stop doing that just because the game mode says casual
I feel that if they want people to play in similar skill levels just make a ranked option, and if people don’t want to they can play casual. I can’t handle ranked in games because I don’t have fun and I’m just stressed but I know that some people love ranked. Putting the option in the players hands just makes sense
I've never really understood the whole "Im playing against people my own level so its not fun" line of thinking. It would seem to me that squads like yours NOT being against people that "are much less aggressive and are less aware of thier surroundings" is how it should be. No disrespect meant, I love your content, maybe I'm just misunderstanding what you mean here?
Mitch Ruopp he’s a sweaty try hard and now he is mad that he is facing other tryhards? I don’t get it either. Half the time my random teammates drop out and I am left to solo full teams on my own.
That's exactly how I feel when someone complains about sbmm. Sbmm is great. It's goal is to get you fair games by matching you with similarly skilled players. Given the sbmm actually works as intended and can't be easily manipulated. But that goes without saying.
SBMM is needed, it is just too strong right now. For example, if you are a 1.5 kd player, I'd say a decent lobby with some variety would have kd's ranging from 1.0-2.5. There's a lot less players with high KDs, so the upper end of the skill bracket goes further to include more players and balance the lobby out. Currently however, it feels like (in my games) I'm playing against 1.8-2.5 kd players even though I'm only a 1.25kd player. It's all over the place as well, one night I can get 3 wins in a few hours, the next night I can't even make it to the 3rd circle over a dozen games. The game needs to have easy fights and hard fights, or else if they're all hard fights then it just becomes exhausting to play.
THANK YOU so much for discussing the SBMM being turned up. I’ve been commenting on others vids hoping they would speak about it because I don’t even like playing warzone because how bad SBMM is now
Tomo I can completely agree with you for skill based matchmaking me and my mates have just given up it feels like there's no progress in our skills due to it
hey tomo i have an awesome setup that i was using that has practically no recoil and does loads of damage: Aug with monolithic, longest barrel, operator fore grip, tac laser and corp combat holo sight. It is insane
Any chance u could make a video about your graphic settings (the one before RT that u used in most recent video) and/or Nvidia settings? Looks so clear
How do you get a chance to pick the server you go into? Or can you? I know that on Socom 2 PS2 you had the option of picking Northwest servers UK servers Etc
Really enjoyed this but then thought "hey I'm a creche level player" then thought what the hell sit back and enjoy. Love it when you guys get together 😁
For me there are two things that take the fun out of Warzone : - random players leaving squads/trios when they die. Especially in quads when 2 players or 3 leave. It becomes near impossible to play the game. they shouldn't allow this. - launching a trio/squad and having an incomplete team, I launched so many games ending all alone at the beginning ...
It's been insane even on console with the matchmaking lately. My quad squad was averging 2 wins a day in season 4 and just yesterday we got our only and first win in season 5.
Honestly I'm still having fun with warzone but I do seem to be having a lot more games where my team gets absolutely destroyed. But then we get a game where it feels like we're playing against bots. It's weird.
Yep I have the same experience. I play with friends with a kd between 0.40 en 0.80 while mine is not that high either being 1.30 and we get maybe 1-3 games where everybody can get some kills but then it's back to lobbies where 90% of the teams are playing with kilo/mp5/origin, laserlike aim and pushing from all directions. I can't imagine how it must feel for my teammates if I am already getting destroyed. It's ridiculous.
Sbmm is part of why this cod has maintained such a large player base for so long. Basically, if you suck at cod, you'll still get enough kills to keep people interested.
I'm fine losing to more skilled players, but when each lobby feels as though everybody in the lobby has a KD 0.5 higher than mine it's exhausting. I went from winning 3 games in a few hours to losing a dozen games not even making it to the 3rd circle over the span of two days. You need easy fights and hard fights or else it's just boring and frustrating. I don't know if I would call Tomo the "thief", he's good but there are better out there all over TH-cam and Twitch.
Wanted to reply about my experiences in Warzone. Every match that I have played in the past couple of weeks have lasted less than 5 minutes. It’s so bad now that I have stopped playing the game. It’s like everyone’s a professional player now. Love your videos.
I don’t get a lot of spare time to play, and when I do play, I seem to get matched against people that are way above my skill level and I get shredded every time, I’m lucky to get top 10 finishes. I’ve spectated the surviving squads a few times and they are so much higher skilled then I am. I’m just cannon fodder for the people that know what they are doing!! Even when I copy + paste the load outs from your videos, I forgot to copy the talent. Love the videos and content, nice work!!
I freaking relate to how the SBMM feels like it’s been ramped up. I’m constantly fighting teams that are double jump peeking corners. Not saying I don’t want competition, but sweating every single game isn’t actually what I want to do either.
Ikr being forced to tryhard every game just isnt fun and then people come and say "oh youre just telling me you dont like fighting equally skilled players and just want to curb stomp noobs?" Its either sweat like your life depends on it like the rest of the lobby or get steamrolled
I definitely think somethings changed. We’ve had times where we’ve won back to back games and for the last month or so we were going a week or so without winning. The last week though it seems to have changed and the lobbies feel much more like they used too and not super pro lobbies. Feeling the fun slowly coming back into it. Love the SA87. Best ground loot gun going.
My buddies and I have been having the same issues.. it’s highly possible we’re just bad (each of us has between 20-40 wins) but something about the past 2 weeks have just been insane.
Yeah idk I feel that too about the SBMM. I'm new to COD and I'm trying to get better, and every lobby I join I face god's who land all head shots and melt me instantly. I have quite a few wins under my belt, but recently it's been super sweaty.
Tomo I am happy it's not just you, all my stats I sit in top 1% and recently I found I am getting absolutely shredded in most games even from players with ground loot, as well as dozens of super aggressive players/teams in all my lobbies. I am at the point where I sit there thinking ever other kill was that player good or a hacker, and honestly quite a few times my kill cam tells me hacker as I blatantly get beamed by floor loot and the way the cross hair bounces. Well just my feeling.
Totally agree on it seeming like they massively cranked up SBMM recently. It's gotten to the point that friends with lower avg score and K/D don't even want to play anymore because every game is crazy difficult
Yup, I'm an avg player and have just recently started to get into FPS. I have played in so many sweaty lobbies just fighting to get 4 kills per match and we play like campers to get in top ten, zzzzzz. In multiplayer it's also the same. I came across at least five cheaters last night, but for some reason I keep going on lol it's that experience of winning a match at the end that keeps us going.
Try showing way more aggression man, I felt like this game was getting too hard until I started running with extremely high KD players / got good at aggression / putting pressure on other teams, honestly if you’re the team that’s camping getting pressed it really doesn’t feel good maybe practice full sending non stop in plunder with your mates then drop hot in warzone a bunch. It’s good to slow down and know when to do that, but without the aggression these days your team will get manhandled and it will be a bunch of boring games.
Towards the end of last season I was probably coming in top 10 in ~30% of my games, winning some, and had a KD of like 1.25. Nothing too wild. But this season my KD has dropped to like 1.05 and I rarely come in top 10. So I’m left wondering if I’ve gotten worse? Or has the game gotten harder?
I've noticed a big difference in player skill in the lobby I've gone from getting atleast a couple wins per play session to having 1 in the past 2 weeks
I was just noticing that SBMM was making the game extremely difficult! It’s refreshing to know that I’m not just a garbage player and that others are experiencing this.
Tom completely agree with the matching. I play in a couple of different groups. Last night I played in one group and we didn't finish below 28th maybe 2 kills each. Jumped into another group later on that evening and with place 7th with 7 kills each. 🤷🏻♂️
We were moaning with our guys all the evening yesterday on how hard it is to win now, then we were about to call it a day and one of the member were killed and left the game (trios), and we made it to the end winning the trios only two of us lol. That was satisfying as hell.
Noticed in this last week that I’ve been matched with players who seem a lot more skilled than me and the guys I play with. Went from fairly often getting top ten to really struggling to get out of the early game. Might just be a bad run but it’s been quite a while now.
The SBMM has gone up. All my matches in the past like 3 days have been super sweaty and I'm like an average Warzone player. Its definitely notched up now
SBMM is a cancer upon gaming. The first game of the day feels great and we'll place top ten or even win. Every game after that gets harder and harder until every death looks suspect.
I see a similar pattern earlier in the week we played maybe 10 games and got three wins Same crew of us the last day or two have been getting absolutely ruined and it seems like everyone in the lobby is super aggressive pro players We all quit yesterday because we were just getting absolutely creamed before even getting the first load out multiple multiple games in a row
@@tintin6291 lol, the classic reply. Yes tin tin I want bot lobbies where I smash everyone without flinching, they crumble between my fingers and I win game after game with ease. No, I just don't want to sweat to the max after one good game.
@@boatsfa2015 i know but its a legit question. Maybe im older now and see things differently but i dont play games for fun anymore. I play them to get better and sharper at my thinking skills and having eaiser loobies just never made sense. I for one want ranked lobbies just so everyone can get what they want but all in all. I wamt to work hard and sweat my ass off for a win. Thats the only time i have fun is when im fighting a hard battle
I tried to copy the loadout you created but why is the barrel so long compared to the base barrel it looked like you were using the 25.4” barrel instead
Completely agree with the game feeling a lot more difficult. Been going from winning between 5/10 a day to struggling to even win 1 a day now but I’m still getting quite high kill lobbies just no wins.
i've been having an awful time with SBMM, my K/D has just been steadily going down since season 4. BUT since the update that returned vehicles to the map i've been doing much better, got my first win in ages. don't know if i've been bumped into a lower bracket, or they have added a new bracket, or if this window of joy is an anomaly?
Same here, hadn't had a win in about a week, then got 3 wins in a few hours a couple of nights ago. Yesterday logged on and played about a dozen games and didn't make it to the 3rd circle a single time. It feels like the connection is wonky too, I'll be in the gulag and get 3 hit markers then be deleted when all their shots register in a fraction of a second even though I shot first.
@@SultanOfSloths i can definitely relate. i sometimes cant tell if i'm playing worse, the enemies are better, i'm out of sync with the server. i have good aim, but then i fail to hit my shots so i adapt, but then still can't hit, i feel like i'm losing my mind! and that's one of the major problems of this SBMM, you just don't know what's going on, you have no way to measure your performance. is it the server? is it me? is it the other players? such a bad feeling.
@@likeasonntagmorgen Oh my god, you're telling me. I'll be in the gulag and land 2 or 3 shots before the other person starts shooting, and then I'm instantly deleted. It's like all their bullets register at once even though they start shooting after I did.
Tomo is the kind of guy that sings to you softly as he sends you to the gulag.
Been years since I listened to that track. Thanks fam. 🙏🏼
Welcome to the gulag

maybe it's what Jack said a few months ago, "it's weekend, all the toddlers are back online", therefore a more "relaxed" lobby
I want a permanent "No Load Out" mode that rotates it's gun drop rules maybe once a week similar to the gulag. I'd be fine with Solos and Trios only if the player numbers couldn't support otherwise.
Playing against sweaty players who follow the meta is stressful and our group tends to avoid it. I also like being forced to change styles and work with what we pick-up.

Finally someone going into detail about the SBMM lately, it's making the game lose the fun factor for me, don't see why they can't use a system like apex and have ranked and casual modes.
Yes absolutely. Have a models where the player can decide if he wants a fun casual game or a sweaty balls tournament every single gun fight
@@shinobikydex2509 people will play in exactly the same way regardless of game mode , people that drop shot, jump shot, quickscope head shots are not gonna suddenly stop doing that just because the game mode says casual
I'm a new viewer. I'm subbing immediately- calming voice and (for the first time on TH-cam) REAL gameplay to show it isn't all easy in Warzone
I feel that if they want people to play in similar skill levels just make a ranked option, and if people don’t want to they can play casual. I can’t handle ranked in games because I don’t have fun and I’m just stressed but I know that some people love ranked. Putting the option in the players hands just makes sense
10:34 Your Hide & Seek rendition lmao
I've never really understood the whole "Im playing against people my own level so its not fun" line of thinking. It would seem to me that squads like yours NOT being against people that "are much less aggressive and are less aware of thier surroundings" is how it should be. No disrespect meant, I love your content, maybe I'm just misunderstanding what you mean here?
People are not happy they have to work for their win. Most just want to stomp noobs and be given a win. It’s sad actually
Mitch Ruopp he’s a sweaty try hard and now he is mad that he is facing other tryhards? I don’t get it either. Half the time my random teammates drop out and I am left to solo full teams on my own.
Maybe people want to have fun and still play well
That's exactly how I feel when someone complains about sbmm. Sbmm is great. It's goal is to get you fair games by matching you with similarly skilled players. Given the sbmm actually works as intended and can't be easily manipulated. But that goes without saying.
SBMM is needed, it is just too strong right now. For example, if you are a 1.5 kd player, I'd say a decent lobby with some variety would have kd's ranging from 1.0-2.5. There's a lot less players with high KDs, so the upper end of the skill bracket goes further to include more players and balance the lobby out. Currently however, it feels like (in my games) I'm playing against 1.8-2.5 kd players even though I'm only a 1.25kd player. It's all over the place as well, one night I can get 3 wins in a few hours, the next night I can't even make it to the 3rd circle over a dozen games. The game needs to have easy fights and hard fights, or else if they're all hard fights then it just becomes exhausting to play.
THANK YOU so much for discussing the SBMM being turned up. I’ve been commenting on others vids hoping they would speak about it because I don’t even like playing warzone because how bad SBMM is now
I once played a round with a dude that spent the whole round saying "where's the Timmys?"
Well did you find it?
Hell Yea. Been using this gun for awhile and finally someone shows some love. You get a subscribe from me Tomo❤💯
How to play so calmly is suprising well for me i will be shocked with every gun fight
Well, at least this gives me reason to believe that I don't suck at this game. 🤣 Great content, Tomo. Y'all are HILARIOUS and always a good watch.
Hearing you sing Imogen Heap is amazing and I'm so happy I listened to that. ❤
This video has an Outstanding image quality! Way better than the others we see from vikk, jack, stodeh....
Heavy levels of sarcasm in this video 😂
so happy to see you using the SA now haha using it since season 3 for reasons i cant really explain lol just love the slow cycle rate
Tomo I can completely agree with you for skill based matchmaking me and my mates have just given up it feels like there's no progress in our skills due to it
hey tomo i have an awesome setup that i was using that has practically no recoil and does loads of damage: Aug with monolithic, longest barrel, operator fore grip, tac laser and corp combat holo sight. It is insane
How do you do the animation to apreciate the gun?
I swear to god it's not even the game play anymore.. I just laugh so damn hard with your convos in game.. Lol
Glad to see some SA87 gameplay. I love this weapon rn
Is he just singing 'sound becomes two' at 11:20 😂
I haven't been able to win BR since mid-season 5. Does Plunder affect BR SBMM actually? Because the wins on that keep rolling in.
Any chance u could make a video about your graphic settings (the one before RT that u used in most recent video) and/or Nvidia settings? Looks so clear
How do you get a chance to pick the server you go into? Or can you? I know that on Socom 2 PS2 you had the option of picking Northwest servers UK servers Etc
11:50 tomo sounds like Douglas from the IT crowd. Love it.
Really enjoyed this but then thought "hey I'm a creche level player" then thought what the hell sit back and enjoy. Love it when you guys get together 😁
8:35 hurts seeing that massive duffel of money go by unlooted!
For me there are two things that take the fun out of Warzone :
- random players leaving squads/trios when they die. Especially in quads when 2 players or 3 leave. It becomes near impossible to play the game. they shouldn't allow this.
- launching a trio/squad and having an incomplete team, I launched so many games ending all alone at the beginning ...
I fell from my chair when you sang "Hide and seek" :D :D :D
GG Tom!
I love how westie casually uses the MG-34😂
It's been insane even on console with the matchmaking lately. My quad squad was averging 2 wins a day in season 4 and just yesterday we got our only and first win in season 5.
Honestly I'm still having fun with warzone but I do seem to be having a lot more games where my team gets absolutely destroyed. But then we get a game where it feels like we're playing against bots. It's weird.
Yep I have the same experience. I play with friends with a kd between 0.40 en 0.80 while mine is not that high either being 1.30 and we get maybe 1-3 games where everybody can get some kills but then it's back to lobbies where 90% of the teams are playing with kilo/mp5/origin, laserlike aim and pushing from all directions. I can't imagine how it must feel for my teammates if I am already getting destroyed. It's ridiculous.
Invite me to these bot games, I've yet to see it...
When checking the gun out at the start, is this something you can only do on PC?
No press left on the d-pad on console when your standing still and it starts the weapon inspection
Daniel McGillivray thank you
The SA87 is very underrated, one of the first 5 weapons I managed to get the gold camo with. Its pretty decent!
Sbmm is part of why this cod has maintained such a large player base for so long. Basically, if you suck at cod, you'll still get enough kills to keep people interested.
I love how you guys say "Garage"....like "Gair-idge".....We 'Murican's say "Guh-rahdge" lol
The basic silenced one that spawns on the floor is great
Is that the VLK 3.0 because i havent seen a yellow version of blue dot.
i found the vector (fennic) beams really well
The thief is complaining about being robbed. Curious, to say the least.
I'm fine losing to more skilled players, but when each lobby feels as though everybody in the lobby has a KD 0.5 higher than mine it's exhausting. I went from winning 3 games in a few hours to losing a dozen games not even making it to the 3rd circle over the span of two days. You need easy fights and hard fights or else it's just boring and frustrating. I don't know if I would call Tomo the "thief", he's good but there are better out there all over TH-cam and Twitch.
Tomo: sa87 good :)
Me: I don’t need sleep I need answers.
Finally someone who takes a closer look at it. Love this gun
Wanted to reply about my experiences in Warzone. Every match that I have played in the past couple of weeks have lasted less than 5 minutes. It’s so bad now that I have stopped playing the game. It’s like everyone’s a professional player now. Love your videos.
I don’t even get downed. Die instantly.
Did they add a weapon inspect button?
My squad are feeling the same way man every game is a grind
I don’t get a lot of spare time to play, and when I do play, I seem to get matched against people that are way above my skill level and I get shredded every time, I’m lucky to get top 10 finishes.
I’ve spectated the surviving squads a few times and they are so much higher skilled then I am. I’m just cannon fodder for the people that know what they are doing!!
Even when I copy + paste the load outs from your videos, I forgot to copy the talent.
Love the videos and content, nice work!!
Bro thats one of my favorite if not the favorite gun. It help me to win my first game ever. Awesome video . Keep them going
Call me crazy but I love the sa87. Great vid!!
I freaking relate to how the SBMM feels like it’s been ramped up. I’m constantly fighting teams that are double jump peeking corners. Not saying I don’t want competition, but sweating every single game isn’t actually what I want to do either.
Ikr being forced to tryhard every game just isnt fun and then people come and say "oh youre just telling me you dont like fighting equally skilled players and just want to curb stomp noobs?"
Its either sweat like your life depends on it like the rest of the lobby or get steamrolled
Keep it up Tomo! Enjoy the efforts you put in to the vids.
Hell yeah Tomo, this is by far my favorite gun and loadout in Warzone, thanks for showing it off ^^
I definitely think somethings changed. We’ve had times where we’ve won back to back games and for the last month or so we were going a week or so without winning. The last week though it seems to have changed and the lobbies feel much more like they used too and not super pro lobbies. Feeling the fun slowly coming back into it. Love the SA87. Best ground loot gun going.
My buddies and I have been having the same issues.. it’s highly possible we’re just bad (each of us has between 20-40 wins) but something about the past 2 weeks have just been insane.
It's good to here that highly skilled players are having trouble with getting wins lately too
Not gonna lie, Tomo. It sounded like you murdered a muppet at the 9:40 mark.
What skins are that? It reminds me of the BO2 diamond
Yeah idk I feel that too about the SBMM. I'm new to COD and I'm trying to get better, and every lobby I join I face god's who land all head shots and melt me instantly. I have quite a few wins under my belt, but recently it's been super sweaty.
how did you get the barrel that long
Tomo I am happy it's not just you, all my stats I sit in top 1% and recently I found I am getting absolutely shredded in most games even from players with ground loot, as well as dozens of super aggressive players/teams in all my lobbies. I am at the point where I sit there thinking ever other kill was that player good or a hacker, and honestly quite a few times my kill cam tells me hacker as I blatantly get beamed by floor loot and the way the cross hair bounces. Well just my feeling.
Totally agree on it seeming like they massively cranked up SBMM recently. It's gotten to the point that friends with lower avg score and K/D don't even want to play anymore because every game is crazy difficult
“Just exist for part of the round” LOL
Yup, I'm an avg player and have just recently started to get into FPS. I have played in so many sweaty lobbies just fighting to get 4 kills per match and we play like campers to get in top ten, zzzzzz. In multiplayer it's also the same. I came across at least five cheaters last night, but for some reason I keep going on lol it's that experience of winning a match at the end that keeps us going.
Try showing way more aggression man, I felt like this game was getting too hard until I started running with extremely high KD players / got good at aggression / putting pressure on other teams, honestly if you’re the team that’s camping getting pressed it really doesn’t feel good maybe practice full sending non stop in plunder with your mates then drop hot in warzone a bunch. It’s good to slow down and know when to do that, but without the aggression these days your team will get manhandled and it will be a bunch of boring games.
Towards the end of last season I was probably coming in top 10 in ~30% of my games, winning some, and had a KD of like 1.25. Nothing too wild. But this season my KD has dropped to like 1.05 and I rarely come in top 10. So I’m left wondering if I’ve gotten worse? Or has the game gotten harder?
Sbmm got more strict i guess... haven’t felt the same but i play with my negative kd console friends. Solos in the other hand....
Yes SBMM is annoying i litteraly get sniped with a pistol but when i play with my friend (level ~90 ish) its easy
@@ladiesman21707 do u have a braincell? SBMM literally means you get people matched with your skill level
V0RR SBMM is based more so off KD not rank
@@SoberAlcoholic89 does that mean i litteraly win every game
V0RR I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or asking a question. so I’ll just say “God bless Amurrika”
@@SoberAlcoholic89 if i get shot with a pistol from sniper range then obviosly im the be- nah im jk ik
I've noticed a big difference in player skill in the lobby I've gone from getting atleast a couple wins per play session to having 1 in the past 2 weeks
I was just noticing that SBMM was making the game extremely difficult! It’s refreshing to know that I’m not just a garbage player and that others are experiencing this.
Had to subscribe when he started singing Imogen Heap 😂
Could you explain a bit more on why you don't use the long barrel?
Tom completely agree with the matching. I play in a couple of different groups. Last night I played in one group and we didn't finish below 28th maybe 2 kills each. Jumped into another group later on that evening and with place 7th with 7 kills each. 🤷🏻♂️
Love your content man
Keep it up
Came for the content, stayed for your singin.
We were moaning with our guys all the evening yesterday on how hard it is to win now, then we were about to call it a day and one of the member were killed and left the game (trios), and we made it to the end winning the trios only two of us lol. That was satisfying as hell.
Noticed in this last week that I’ve been matched with players who seem a lot more skilled than me and the guys I play with. Went from fairly often getting top ten to really struggling to get out of the early game. Might just be a bad run but it’s been quite a while now.
The SBMM has gone up. All my matches in the past like 3 days have been super sweaty and I'm like an average Warzone player. Its definitely notched up now
I use the same loadout but with the Ranger foregrip. After the nerf of the Merc, I prefer the Ranger as it gives more stability
could u compare the sa87 to the oden?
SBMM is a cancer upon gaming. The first game of the day feels great and we'll place top ten or even win. Every game after that gets harder and harder until every death looks suspect.
I see a similar pattern earlier in the week we played maybe 10 games and got three wins
Same crew of us the last day or two have been getting absolutely ruined and it seems like everyone in the lobby is super aggressive pro players
We all quit yesterday because we were just getting absolutely creamed before even getting the first load out multiple multiple games in a row
Why do you want it to be easy?
@@tintin6291 lol, the classic reply. Yes tin tin I want bot lobbies where I smash everyone without flinching, they crumble between my fingers and I win game after game with ease. No, I just don't want to sweat to the max after one good game.
@@boatsfa2015 i know but its a legit question. Maybe im older now and see things differently but i dont play games for fun anymore. I play them to get better and sharper at my thinking skills and having eaiser loobies just never made sense. I for one want ranked lobbies just so everyone can get what they want but all in all. I wamt to work hard and sweat my ass off for a win. Thats the only time i have fun is when im fighting a hard battle
@@tintin6291 the philosophical gamer who wants to hone his craft. Ill toast to that. But if it's not fun...why?
I tried to copy the loadout you created but why is the barrel so long compared to the base barrel it looked like you were using the 25.4” barrel instead
Completely agree with the game feeling a lot more difficult. Been going from winning between 5/10 a day to struggling to even win 1 a day now but I’m still getting quite high kill lobbies just no wins.
i've been having an awful time with SBMM, my K/D has just been steadily going down since season 4. BUT since the update that returned vehicles to the map i've been doing much better, got my first win in ages. don't know if i've been bumped into a lower bracket, or they have added a new bracket, or if this window of joy is an anomaly?
Same here, hadn't had a win in about a week, then got 3 wins in a few hours a couple of nights ago. Yesterday logged on and played about a dozen games and didn't make it to the 3rd circle a single time. It feels like the connection is wonky too, I'll be in the gulag and get 3 hit markers then be deleted when all their shots register in a fraction of a second even though I shot first.
@@SultanOfSloths i can definitely relate. i sometimes cant tell if i'm playing worse, the enemies are better, i'm out of sync with the server. i have good aim, but then i fail to hit my shots so i adapt, but then still can't hit, i feel like i'm losing my mind! and that's one of the major problems of this SBMM, you just don't know what's going on, you have no way to measure your performance. is it the server? is it me? is it the other players? such a bad feeling.
@@likeasonntagmorgen Oh my god, you're telling me. I'll be in the gulag and land 2 or 3 shots before the other person starts shooting, and then I'm instantly deleted. It's like all their bullets register at once even though they start shooting after I did.
At 14:42 what is that on the left side - a bear nodding his head ?? 🙄
Glad I'm not the only one thinking that sbmm got super amped lately.
I honestly love this gun, glad to see it Tomo
