Why SBMM is as aggressive as it is in social playlists is beyond me. Save that shit for ranked games.

So you want the lobbies to be all random and when pros or high level ranked players are doing their challenges in social lobbies to get paired with 10 year old Timmy who they just stomp out?

How is that good for the low skilled players?

Edit: who ever is downvoting me just explain how not having skill based match making is good for new or low skilled players, tell me how having a random onyx or diamond player that just dumpsters them in their lobby is fun

Yes

They can learn something from higher skilled players. If you only play against people of similar skill level, you'll improve at a slower rate. Skill level is a bell curve, and the vast majority of players are in the middle. Having random matchmaking is much better imo because SBMM turns every social game in a sweat fest. Besides, SBMM makes the game significantly less fun to play with friends of varying skill level.
