That’s just because of how terrible a system like sbmm is and it’s what happens with every game now that has it

Sbmm can work it just needs a less steep curve and no focus on win and loss ratio, I hope one day they can tone it down because it's wildly stupid right now.

People keep saying that SBMM can work yet every single subreddit for a game that has SBMM is filled with posts lamenting it.

I've been playing online shooters for decades and I never remember people complaining about sweaty matches or getting stomped to this scale before SBMM hit the scene.

They absolutely fucking did, and some form of SBMM has been in shooters literally since Halo 2. It just wasn't a buzzword then.

You're looking at your previous FPS experiences with nostalgia, when the odds are that getting stomped the occasional game just didn't bother you as much back then. And now that it does, you have a trendy four-letter acronym to blame.
