I 100% agree with this. I always found it weird when people go “You just don’t like SBMM cause you wanna bully others!”.

Like… no? I am perfectly happy to have a 50/50 split of winning and losing outright, but at least all those games will be fairly painless and easy to get through. If every single match is a drawn out evenly matched slugfest that becomes a prolonged struggle? Some of those might very well result in amazing memorable matches, but the truth is the majority of them will just drag on and be miserable. It also comes down a lot to how many games you can play since the overwhelming victory/defeat ones go faster and are less taxing you can in general play more.

At the end of the day I’d be super happy with a healthy mix of everything and just matching up people randomly or semi-randomly seems like the easiest way to go about that.

Every other week someone tries.
