A recent post by a Call of Duty enthusiast, ‘bigdogimaimabigdog’, sparked a lively debate about a key feature in the game – Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM). The gamer shared his struggle with an underwhelming win rate. However, the real issue seemed to revolve around his lack of understanding of the SBMM concept in the game.
Summary
- The question at the core of the post seemed innocuous enough: ‘What is SBMM and how can I get some?’ but it sparked a torrent of diverse viewpoints and shared experiences.
- Members were generous in supporting ‘bigdogimaimabigdog’ in his quest for improving his gameplay. They shared personal trials and victories, strategies, and nuggets of wisdom to inspire and motivate him.
- Interestingly, the post also triggered discussions about broader gaming community issues, including the role of teamwork and communication in achieving wins.
Understanding SBMM
For starters, SBMM or Skill-Based Matchmaking is a mechanism that pairs up players of similar skills to ensure balanced and fair matches. Many gamers are supportive of this feature, while others criticize it. As we all know, SWMM is not something you can ‘get more’ of, as it is an integrated system in match-making that automatically works behind the scenes.
Community and Communication
One of the enlightening revelations from ‘JorfSaundoo’‘s comments was the importance of teamwork and communication. Playing with a coherent strategy and some form of coordination with your team, he suggested, could significantly enhance your wins.
Gameplay – More than just Wins
While the post initiated by ‘bigdogimaimabigdog’ was rooted in his quest for winning, many comments brought attention to the various other aspects of gaming that contribute to an enriching experience. For example, ‘Xyncz’ shared that focusing on objectives can often be sidelined by players focusing on purely grinding for camos.
This case highlights that, at times, it’s not just about securing a win but enjoying the journey, evolving strategies, and appreciating the shared camaraderie. It’s comforting to see that even when underdogs feel wronged by the system, the gaming community rallies to uplift their spirits.
