#22: SBMM (PT. 2)
Recorded 5/12/2020
Many claim that Skill Based Match Making (SBMM) ruins unranked game modes, but data shows that it undeniably helps increase player retention and engagement. Is SBMM in unranked game modes a good thing? Who should devs cater to when developing their match making algorithms?
In Episode 20 - SBMM (Pt. 1) we asked the community for their feedback surrounding SBMM in unranked game modes, and in this episode we discuss their responses around how they'd go about insuring that players of all skill levels have fun in unranked game modes, how they'd deal with smurfs, and more!
Anthony & Skylar discuss how some popular games like Halo, Dota 2, Valorant, Fortnite, and Rocket League handle these issues and more!
