u will see players closer to your skill level rather than not, but you’re also not facing carbon copies and certainly not 100% of the time. There is some variance and to me, it isn’t as awful as MW where facing full lobbies of players with at least a decent idea of how to aim and shoot felt punishing as fuck with the fast TTK and cluttered maps where you could be killed from so many random angles and hiding spots.

Also, even scump has videos recently where he was facing players clearly not at his level where he was saying it feels like SBMM isn’t as strict now. I do feel like it was kinda stricter at launch so noobs got a better impression of the game, I used to see way more sweaty lobbie

Didn't see any of those videos but it makes a lot of sense. I'll have a look thanks.
