SBMM, skill based match making, BG Blitz

So many youtubers over on the Call of Duty side are talking about Skill based match making. Youtube it, its a current hot topic. How AAA companies study this, and use it in their lobbies, its their trade secrets, and even Devs sign agreements to stay silent. Ties into many things like how fortnite uses Bots in their games so players feel they are getting wins, and keep playing more, keep paying more. Ever notice some Blitz games the players never speak and run around doing their own thing?

In short companies are all about making money, Participation and even Spending based match making is a thing in some games, aka Microtransactions. Some youtubers were talking about how whales and streamers in some games are white listed to get more favorable lobbies, with increased chances of winning.

The new WoW boss came from Call of Duty, it might be important to take a look. Youtubers can break it down better than me, so take a look at SBMM in gaming. Take a look at whats going on in Call of Duty.

The amount of people crying about being stuck at 1400 makes me think it ain’t happening tho but it’s a heinous idea for sure

I have seen games where I swore certain players were bots, I thought it was just players buying software and doing nefarious stuff, till I started looking into SBMM in shooters. AAA companies put bots in their games to play in low lobbies so players feel they are getting that dopamine… So is it happening in wow is my question???

Engagement bases matchmaking, if players are spending alot, its bad business for them to go on losing streaks, in some AAA companies its going on, is it going on in wow???

Whats happening over on CoD, can happen in wow, because Profit is the bottom line.
