What if you're on the lower end of the skill ranking? Are you just never allowed to enjoy the game? Or are you just supposed to take satisfaction in dying whenever it is you're inevitably fed to the GM stack that's "just chilling out" with KD several orders of magnitude higher than anyone else in the lobby?

What does that have to do with not liking skills based matchmaking?

Seriously? I mean, do you really not understand how SBMM match-makes based on skill?

I actually would like an answer here, if you would oblige me. What would be easier, beating up a kindergartener, or someone that matched your height, weight, and age? Which one would be more relaxing and 'chill' for you? which one would be more fair to your opponent?

I honestly hate the 'chill gaems lol' thing that people always say. It's predicated entirely on being fed people far under your skill level to boost your own ego.
