The hidden SBMM to put you "where the game thinks you should be" is so insane. Last year I played a TON of MW2 ranked. I was very good. But I only solo queued. I did very good in majority of my games, but obviously you can't win them all when solo queuing. I won a game in a Plat 3 lobby in SND with 20 kills and like 5 deaths and I got like 25 SR. When I would lose a game whether I was good or bad, I would lose like 25-60 SR. It becomes an impossible feat to get to the rank you should be because the game "thinks" you should be lower. In this scenario, I would have to win like 80% of my games to slowly rank up solo queuing. Sorry I'm losing games because my teammates are ass sometimes. It is so frustrating. Just do an actual skill ranking.

[@doindermaba]

Let me preface this by saying i’m on PC and this is my first ever ranked COD. Didn’t play MW2. I quit the other games i was playing because i didn’t WANT to play competitive, but with SBMM in pub lobbies and my mates wanting me to run ranked with them, i figured what the hell. 1. So many cheaters, but they aren’t submitting. A couple feel like they’re soft lock ons, but majority are blatantly walling. 2. SBMM is stupid asf. I cruised through bronze and silver. Upon getting into gold all i’ve been playing is ex-crims/iridescents… all mid plat or diamond… Why? Since leaving silver i’ve barely dropped any massive games and I don’t have the stats, whether it be W/L or KD to warrant that? 3. Aim assist - I know roller players are constantly annoyed this is brought up but being destroyed by a rival 9 long range even when i’ve hit all my shots with an MCW purely because the other person is on controller is soooo frustrating. I think they have a ton of potential with this, but they’re too lazy to ever do anything. Genuinely disappointing.

Apex has a similar rank system with hidden mmr but it has placement matches the only catch is who they have you in the lobby with don’t matter for some reason.

Apex legends ranked has become this very thing, the hidden MMR, gaining different amounts of RP depending on who you kill, silvers mixed with preds and masters. It’s not fun to play, I’ve become a hard stuck silver/gold player, while my bot friends (that I carry in pubs) are hitting plat in less games. I went against an ALGS pro (HISWattson) and his premade squad, first game out of my provisional matches while playing with another one of my friends who was also silver. Like that stuff should go based off of your rank instead of some hidden SBMM, it’s a terrible addition to ranked. I’ve also gotten into Overwatch 2 recently and the ranked system in that game is terrible as well, it’s so hard to rank up, rank changes after 5 wins or 15 losses, you could win 5 games straight and your rank won’t change. OW2 is having some kind of change to ranked next season so we’ll see how that goes

I don't play cod that often but form time to time I do. I'm no legit veteran, sure I've played every single cod but its never been that serious to me. But to the point... hopped on with a friend that isn't that good of a player and played cod with him for about 2 h, we were playing bots and slamming everyone then he had to dip. Then I decided to solo Q.... wow terrible idea. Got qued up with people in diamond rank and people that has so many more hours than me who maybe plays twice a month. Then all games was super hard until my friend came back and then we started playing bots again. I have no game sense whatsoever I'm just a good gunner that does so so good and that puts me in the highest elo. It actually no worth for me having cod downloaded if I'm forced playing the best players in the game and I'm just tryna play the game casually

[@ClipzzYT]

I will be honest, I know multiple ppl who cheat in mw3 and they just get shadow banned for a few days IF AT ALL and then they come right back. Perma bans aint gonna happen unless you're using some free garbage bc everything else is undetected and even then they still dont wanna ban bc they want that $$$.

[@JOSHHARRIS-v3w]

I was gonna ask about cheaters but it was literally the first point you brought up lol good lord that is not good

[@hunterstowe5486]

Played a game yesterday, my team was 3 plats and a gold, the opposing team was rank 13 diamond 1 and rank 22 crimson and 2 golds. Actually a joke to have sbmm within ranked

[@MrBuurh]

As someone who plays Counter Strike the cheating is just as bad if not worse! We had hackers running around in games for the major qualifiers, ruining alot of games! Trust me it ain't just COD, the only decent Anti Cheat I have found is Valorants.

[@vokuhila6913]

thats the reason i left cs2 lol, the fact that cheating is so normalized in that game that there are youtubers that just give away cheats for free is insane. every multiplayer game would be better off with valorants anti cheat even if it lets random chinese men steal your data

[@HeXaR_TOX]

CoD Mobile has the best ranked system I've ever seen. It treats you like an actual human. - You performe good and win? Good, take a lot of points - You lost a game, but your perfomance was good? It's okay, you'll lose less than you should - Your enemies was too tough for you? Okay, let's compensate that a little bit with some additional points - You're dominated on enemy team? Get a bonus points for that, champ! - You're getting destroyed for three games in a row? Get a free bot lobby game, so you can regain a bit of points (yeah, it's controversial addition, but it's a mobile game after all) I know, it's a MOBILE game and it's meant to be EASIER to play ranked. But I like the point that if you are above average player and you play enough games you can get the highest rank. If you are hardcore sweat player, you'll probably gonna be in the ranked leaderboard (or more likely play tournaments).

[@bryantnarvaez6304]

I be watching these videos in their entirety and I don’t even have a PlayStation

[@RenoMay]

First season is rough because everyone starts in bronze. So you’re likely playing people that are higher skill than their visible rank. But matchmaking is rough because of that since your team may be a true silver.

[@RenoMay]

I think after season 1 this will resolve itself

[@Wxp2K]

i hate the ranked mode because you can have a whole team of bronze 1 player who are ass vs a team of golds and plats

[@kathyy5903]

Honestly I did agree with that copy and paste on rank play.kinda lame maybe they could of add some stuff different I mean everyone was excited for it

[@nicktekula5167]

Legit got 30 min suspension after going on a win streak, then same day lost SR even after two of my teammates got kicked out mid game

[@toecollector9329]

If you have a hacker time to take out the riot shields and stuns, most of the time, they're too stupid to deal with it. Cheaters are basically bronze players with God level aim

[@twenty_ttv]

Best video ive watched around the whole ranked play game mode, honest and straight up facts! well said dude 🙋🏾‍♂

[@boblawblaw6185]

The real way it should work is you should START , EVERY SEASON, at your highest rank ever, but you have to maintain that rank for 3 or more games to get those rewards. You can't log in every season and only play one game and get all the iridescent stuff, and you can't start top 250 either everyone in top 250 starts iri. If you fall down a SR rank during those initial games you now get the rewards of that lower tier instead and that becomes your max or memory rank in future seasons, unless you move back up then you get your iridescent stuff etc. This makes the game fair and has that hidden or memory MMR baked into it instead of using a changing MMR from the pub list. This means if you were a bronze shitter last season you won't have to worry about playing anyone with any kind of experience because all their memory ranks will keep them in higher brackets. The people that really will have to fight it out are people getting out of gold, and diamond to crimson as its supposed to be. The reason why Activision Won't do this is all they care about is play time. While this would be more accurate and competitive and gets right to the point of who is actually the best every season, who climbed the farthest or improved each season it also takes you SUBSTANTIALLY less time to get the rewards you want because you're not grinding from the bottom WITH EVERYONE, crimsons, iris, diamonds Vs real silvers and bonze, especially when a new cod title gets its opening ranked play. This current method really once again sandbags players in the middle of the distribution and stops them from playing to improve early on, because early in the season you're going to be playing against people way above your skill level with more recent skill. Later in the season you might move up but you're playing opponents who aren't that good either because they too are dodging the good players. Then in the final seasons its All cheaters scrambling to replace the cosmetics they lost during banwaves. Now you're basically back to square one as these are people artificially way outside your skill ability. you can't improve to that level over the course of one season so a lot of people stop after the good players ranked up. this also messes with the quality of teammates you get in later seasons unless you luck out and get the hacker on your team and they willing to carry you. Once again Activision is ruining a good ranked play experience because they are valuing engagement and the cosmetics treadmill over skill. This method would also take a lot of people out of ranked who just want to farm cosmetics. They would grind to iri one season and then they have 5 seasons to basically 3 three matches in their starting bracket win three in the next and fall down again next season, or there could be a prestige mechanic where you voluntarily give up your current memory rank to start at bronze, you grind to the rank you want rinse, repeat next season. This would minimize exposure of very good players to perpetual shitters that stay in bronze 5 seasons in a row. the group they obviously want to protect. Again they won't do it because they covet forcing you to play the game longer than you want over actually giving you stuff you earned by putting multiple years into the game which is what skill displays.

[@chippercash4942]

Played a day after launch solo q was frying my first 3 games in gold then literallty got put up against sib and sky and the other 2 they were streaming with checked thier stream so knew it was them my teammates quit halfway in and didnt get more than 2 kills. I dropped 22 I don't mind the hidden sbmm if they give me teammates as good as me or the CDL PRO enemy team

[@TheNewHumanity]

Oh dear. The old man hasn’t learned his lesson

[@Stixerss]

It’s crazy people how every game I get teammates who don’t talk or calll out just ping and don’t half ass do obj

[@PVRGE7]

Honestly i solo que'd all the way to Silver 2 and that is where i am stuck. Literally...You can feel the SBMM working so hard against you it's ridiculous which makes Ranked a joke....

[@LIF3ISTOOGOOD]

You hit the mark with this video its so sad seeing the state of cod zombies and seeing the remaster maps being added in custom is one of the main reason i got a pc. im hoping cod 2024 brings everything back to what it was and if not i aint buying

[@DatBoiSaint]

The way rank is right now in call of duty is how I've had to suffer in Apex for years ..

[@austinsnider5836]

Didn’t watch, ngl. COD hasn’t been good since BO3/COD 4 Remastered. Imagine buying COD, supporting Activision, and getting bamboozled in 2024

[@KingTreMMXXII]

I wonder if this is like R6 Siege new ranked system. Basically the rank is more like just an image or something that you can show and chase but in reality your MMR is in secret. It’s been a hated system but this makes sense because all major game titles seem to be switching to this style I think because it’s meant to protect unskilled players. It’s a terrible system but you should look into this system compared to R6 Siege’s new rank system cause what you’re explaining it sounds similar

[@nolyfe4814]

Someone actually went in depth with how it works in dead by daylight cause they adopted this system like a year or two years ago.

[@JohnDee633]

They did tweet out saying everyone above Gold is able to match up together. that’s crazy they changed it and have 250 going up against Bronze.

[@Fuzxguys]

Friend of mine in iridescent and says apparently it’s borderline no legitimate players half the time he’s in

[@ice-qf8vz]

I have the same complaint on release I am playing Prolude (ex cod pro) in my literal second match. Can’t wait to see optic gaming for my iridescent game

[@vyyo5025]

My big issue with ranked is the SR bugs that have fucked me. I should be at the top of diamond 3, but I had a few nights in a row where I’d win a game and lose 400 SR. Lost almost 2000 SR total in matches that I won.

[@Sonicspeedboyz]

Cap your making excuses cuz your bad

[@esigaming3870]

Yo this is CRAZZYYYY this is the first year I’m trying ranked and I feel like I only run into crimson players.

[@NimbleFPS]

I have played close to 20 days of Valorant and have encountered 1 hacker that got banned the game I was in. Valorant has the best anti-cheat I've ever experienced. It's pretty fucking sad when a F2P game has CONSIDERABLY less hackers than a game that cost $70

[@jermalshemism3367]

It's basically the same system since advanced warfare or ww2, start zero get matched based on points per minute and get stuck at gold plat

[@manman1863]

wish i could go back to the 360 BO1 days where it was cool to run into a hacker bc of how RARE it was.

[@keeperrr96]

Matchmaking was the same sadly last year. Constantly got placed vs plats as a bronze. Also, many times vs full stack teams as solo. Its just not fun. In ranked only your actual rank should matter, not their hidden bs SBMM.

[@keeperrr96]

One more thing, played LOL ages ago, atleast their hidden ELO made you gain much more LP if you were placed way below where you should be.

[@mikedaknight1079]

Matches for me was messed up today, I'm only on silver and rusty as hell, and I've been matched up against crimson and up, haven't played online since cod ghost
