High-skill players make a lot of noise about disliking SBMM, but developers may prioritize the happiness of the many over the few - again, aiming for the middle of that bell curve. This doesn’t mean SBMM is inherently bad, only that it may need a balanced application, such as being used within ranked modes or not used at all in public matches unless requested by players.
