They aren’t sweating tho they are just the top 1% they are not even using coms in this video they are just shooting and destroying everyone cause they are pros thats what they do
They are not sweating but they are kinda stacking tho. However, their type of skill/advantage is probably 10% maybe 20% but after that the skill falls off. So even less skilled players can play weak lobbies and enjoy the game.

Dude, it does have freebase matchmaking up so I 25 on the built-in two player playlist so it doesn’t seem to be working any better than skill base matchmaking works on any other game and you’re all kind of hypocrite because when skill base matchmaking works or if it would work, then you would always be facing a team of players match your skills competition and a good fight The problem is it never works right in any game with never been used that because it’s a complex issue trying to match and then also because players try to circumvent skill base matchmaking because they’re bullies at heart and they just want to if they were actually competitive, they want skill base matchmaking I eat everybody to be exactly the same skill level is a good fight a really good fight when it happens in games like there’s Arena shooters where you get two completely equally match games and it comes down to you know the end of the game before you realize who’s going to win That’s the most fun ever without skill base matchmaking I said a guys that are really good. Can team up join the kill and just destroy a bunch of disorganized new spent don’t know what they’re doing and that’s not fun and it shouldn’t be fun for the guys doing it let alone the guys it’s better having it done to them, not fun at all the best I’ve ever seen in any arena shooter when you get to match games duking it out right to the last second of whatever kind of timer system they got going on
Skill-Based Matchmaking (SBMM)ensures that players are paired with others of similar skill levels, aiming for balanced and competitive matches. However, high-skill players often express frustration with SBMM because it means consistently facing equally skilled opponents, which can be challenging and sometimes less enjoyable. On the flip side, without SBMM, these skilled players could be matched against **casual players**, leading to one-sided games where they can easily dominate, which isn't fun for those casual players. The majority of players tend to be more casual, playing intermittently with the primary goal of having a good time and possibly snagging some wins. They're not looking to be overwhelmed by highly skilled opponents, as going 4K-30D in a match isn't a fun experience. In essence, SBMM aims to balance competitiveness with enjoyment, but finding the perfect middle ground is a challenge that continues to spark debate in the gaming community.
That is not true. Due to EOMM and a strict SBMM it is more of a rigged matchmaking. You know for a fact you'll lose 3-5 games to win another 2. I do exceptionally good in CoD and even with heavy SBMM I easily dominate lobbies. But we all started somewhere. There is no shortcut. If you're good you should be rewarded for being good. Not being put in a algorhythm that makes bad players think they're gods too 😂😂😂 These kids are fucking hilarious. SBMM makes people live in bubbles thinking they slay in CoD getting 20 kills a game. Then there's me with 115/11 kills on Shoothouse playing in Lobboes for top 10% players
@@Predash051 The kids that live in bubbles and the adults who do not have time to improve skill level are the main consumers of CoD. If the skilled players are doing exceptional well like your self there is no reason to complain about SBMM & EOMM because skilled players will flourish in any match environment.
A player’s stats in an SBMM environment end up becoming meaningless because these algorithms force all players to regress to the mean to varying degrees based on an unknown algorithm, hence why our options as consumers are either to: a) do away with SBMM completely or b) get full transparency about the constant match rigging. Better players and players that improve should get the reward of stomping out casual lobbies filled with randoms. XDefiant exists because a large enough portion of the community has voiced against SBMM and EOMM. In any case, the lower-skilled players getting stomped out in lobbies ends up being a lesser probable outcome (for most matches) because skill levels are randomly distributed. The common denominator ends up being the player’s individual performance in all games which showcases a player’s true adaptability and skill (and not hidden MMR).
SBMM keeps you going in a circle where you never improve you shit on bots then go against sweats so you will lose then they give you bots again then sweats and the cycle repeats where as no SBMM lets you see your improvement and rewards you for getting better. SBMM should only be for people that have never played the game and after a point they should get paired with everyone. If your a star basketball player in highschool and your dunking on other high schoolers they don’t pair you against an NBA player cause your to good it should be no different in video games either get good or don’t play.
@@CreateEnemys514 NBA players = Highly Skilled FPS players. NBA players can thrive on any league against the best competition. The majority of CoD players are like people that play pick up at LA Fitness.
The absence of skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) in games like XDefiant highlights the disparity in skill levels among players. This imbalance means that highly skilled players, who often have more time to dedicate to the game-either because it's their job or they have no other obligations-dominate the matches, resulting in an unfair and frustrating experience for casual players. Only those at the top who play daily advocate for the removal of SBMM because it allows them to enjoy a disproportionate amount of success and fun. Having played every Call of Duty title since its inception, I firmly believe that SBMM is essential. It ensures that players of all skill levels have the opportunity to compete in a more balanced environment, enhancing the overall enjoyment and inclusivity of the game. Without SBMM, the majority of players are left disheartened, while only a select few revel in the skewed victories. For a game to be truly enjoyable for everyone, SBMM must be implemented to create a fair and engaging experience for all players.

@rinehartbrent your points are invalid and heavily over-generalized. Saying the "majority of players are left disheartened" is not only false but as far from the truth as possible. Go off of solid facts and statistics. The player base can be put into a simple bell curve. So can all player bases. So in the bell curve, the "majority" of people are in the middle 80%. Which means they will all have good games, decent games, and bad games. There are the top and bottom 10% of the bell curve that will almost always have amazing games or terrible games. But you can't fix it to everyone and that's certainly not the "majority". I would heavily argue that the majority will be satisfied with no SBMM. COD's SBMM only puts you with people within the same 5 or 10% on the bell curve. Everything is intense and difficult and most people just want to relax and be able to have fun. If you don't like it, go back to COD. On top of all that, your comment is written like a college thesis and your second comment has quotations around it so those are likely not even your words but rather Chat GPT or a similar AI.
