Idk there is something I miss about older games where I slowly got better until I was the person on top of the scoreboard.

Also SBMM has some problems for better players depending on the implementation, at the end of the ranking bell curve it stops working. Often the skill difference between a top 100k player and a top 1k player is the same as between a top 1k and top 100 player.

But the top 1k all fall within the same matchmaking pool, even if it leads to unfair games.

Currently experiencing this within The Finals where I regularly get put against a full stack of top 20 players while either solo or duo q myself (were top 2500).
