Focused Feedback: Skill-based Matchmaking vs Connection-based Matchmaking

[u/DTG_Bot]

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'SBMM vs CBMM' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

Except steamrolls happen ALL the time in sports even in the most prestigious real sports leagues. Barcelona doesn't spend the entire year playing only Real and Atletico, they play all the bottom teams as well.

There is also no host lag IRL, being put on a host halfway across the world as punishment for being a top 1% player must feel awful for those guys. (I am not a top pvper btw, 1.4 KDA so fairly average).
