[COD] SBMM is a problem only for bad players. (read my post)

preview

People who stay blaming SBMM are just bad players expecting the game to hand them free kills by putting worse players on the other team.

A real player, a good player, someone with actual skill, isn't gonna blame anything except the game's lack of agency. Being limited in how they can move, their gun taking 30 years to ADS, delays on slides, visual recoil, all that shit that keeps them from just straight up letting their skill speak for itself.

That's why COD debates piss me off so much. People will be like "BO7 is a good game" or "MWII is a good game" and then hit you with "but the SBMM caters way too much to bad players" without even realizing THEY'RE the bad players. Meanwhile the actual good players are stuck on MW2019 / MWIII because those are basically the only two modern CODs that actually let you let your aim, movement and overall skill speak for itself.

I'm pretty sure very few people are gonna understand my point. A lot of people are just casual players who enjoy the game for what it is, which I completely understand. Not everyone has hours to dump into a video game when you got shit going on IRL. My point is simply this :

The lack of agency is the real problem. The delays on basically every movement, the delay on slide cancels, the visual recoil, all that shit is keeping good players from actually being good. And that's something only good players really seem to notice, while bad players, without even realizing they're bad players, spend their whole lives blaming SBMM.

TLDR: Just read the last paragraph.
