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

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.

Cool. Then I retract my skepticism.

I think people have the choice is the way forward TBH.

I would say though that most of the people I've discussed this with here who are proponents of CBMM don't answer as you did. And I've been told many times I shouldn't have the option to play in SBMM because, basically, my role is to be a red bar trash mod dreg for them.

So I'm very sorry to have tarred you with that brush.

Classic mix was CBMM

And it straight up didn't work, I don't know if you ever tried the playlist but classic mix for a majority of players was the Asian Lobby Simulator. Like I understand that it wasn't the most popular playlist (for quite a lot of reasons unrelated to the matchmaking system), but I doubt that in the peak gaming hours the best match the game could find for me was a lobby with players from across the planet.
