Black Ops 6 SBMM is Rigged – Or Are You Just Bad? 🤔
Alright, let’s talk about it. Everyone loves to blame Skill-Based Matchmaking (SBMM) for their losses, but is it really the issue… or is it just a skill issue? 😬

I swear, every match I play feels like a sweaty CDL tournament, yet somehow my teammates are playing like they just installed the game. Meanwhile, the enemy team has movement like they’re training for Warzone World Series.

So, what’s the truth? Is SBMM secretly punishing skilled players by forcing them into harder lobbies, or are people just unwilling to admit they’re not as good as they think?

Let’s settle this once and for all. Drop your takes below. 👇

I really don't believe there are hackers/cheaters. I truly believe a lot of bad players with zero skill.

I am not particularly good at the game, but I do think that the SBMM makes me look and feel a lot worse than I am lol.
If you read their patent that was placed in 2019 it talks about...
"modification of gaming parameters depending on skill level executed in real time on a player-by-player basis and tailors the experiences in that gaming environment to the specific skill level of each player."

They are buffing the low skilled players, keeping the average players as is and nerfing the higher skilled players to create a 'Manipulation of 'EQUALITY '. The only way they can manipulate the players to keep a similar in game K.D, if you are playing people of different skill Lv is alter; Desync, Damage, Health, spawn's.

Quibly i have screen shot of people advertising cheat sites the day Season 2 started.
Anyone that denies their are cheats, are usually suspected of cheating themselves and supporting cheating. I guess you don't read the gaming sites much about how bad the cheating is?

Do you have documentation supporting your claim?

Subtly different framing on this topic, can give you very different answers.

>"Is SBMM secretly punishing skilled players by forcing them into harder lobbies"
Activision publically states in their blog they use SBMM. SBMM matches players closer to their skill level by putting each player into a class. This is explained in their whitepaper.

Clearly it's not secret. I appreciate some players have a preference for random match-making, but the idea that SBMM is rigged is factually incorrect. Putting players into harder lobbies is NOT rigging.

SBMM is used in most sports where 'players' are seeded based on their past performance. Example includes FIFA World Rankings.
-----------
There is a lot of conspiracy theorist and COD haters that claim variants of skill based damage despite overwhelming evidence. The research patents Activision have explity said are not in the game.
-----------
Call of Duty can't technically return to the old match-making due to cyber security. The world has changed. For example, the original CODs allows third-party game servers to directly run exe's on your computer in the background.
-----------
You can win most games in COD, if your good enough. The best players study the game intensively.
