Nadeshot clarifies SBMM argument in Black Ops Cold War rant Activision\/YouTube: NadeshotUpdate (December 2 \u2013 6:00 PM PT): Nadeshot has since followed up on his Skill-Based Matchmaking rant, addressing how it\u2019s easy to lose your temper while grinding for specific weapon camo challenges. \u201cSBMM is a topic of discussion that has a lot of nuances,\u201d he said in a December 2 follow-up tweet. \u201cWhat I really want to clarify once and for all\u2026 I don\u2019t have a fear of playing players as good as me. I don\u2019t disagree with the idea of playing against players as good as me. All I\u2019m asking for is that people see the level of skill I\u2019m playing at.\u201d Obviously, a ranked playlist of sorts has been requested to no end in the community. While the feature has been subtly confirmed, it\u2019s still yet to enter the game. Therefore, the only form of matchmaking is standard public games, which happen to have SBMM cranked all the way up. Regarding my comments on Skill Based Matchmaking from my stream yesterday. pic.twitter.com\/Ypu4tLzjvE \u2014 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) December 3, 2020 \u201cIf I\u2019m going up against six starting players in the Call of Duty League, I want a rank to reflect that. I understand why SBMM is a necessity, I just don\u2019t agree with the way it\u2019s presented. Right now it\u2019s ambiguous, you never really know who you\u2019re up against and the level of skill they\u2019re at.\u201d The original story is as follows. Skill-based matchmaking has been a major complaint from top Call of Duty players for years now, and 100 Thieves CEO and former pro player Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag has finally snapped, going on a rant against SBMM in the new Black Ops Cold War. Nadeshot has never made it a secret that he, alongside a huge number of Call of Duty players, is anti-SBMM. Though the sentiment makes sense \u2014 pit players of equal skill against one another \u2014 in practice, many players aren\u2019t happy with it and want to see it removed or at least tuned down. Nadeshot clearly falls into that category, and let his opinion be known during a December 1 stream while playing on the latest edition of Nuketown, Nuketown \u201884. As you can tell immediately from the scoreline alone and the carnage unfolding around him, the match is an intense one, and he wasn\u2019t impressed. He said: \u201cIt\u2019s time to lower the skill-based matchmaking. This is not fun. I know we want the kids that have never played Call of Duty to be in a safe space, but please stop alienating the people that have been playing your game for over a decade.\u201d That wasn\u2019t all, though, as Haag continued to complain as he struggled to make much of an impact on the game. \u201cThis is not an enjoyable experience,\u201d he said. \u201cEspecially trying to get the challenges done on these weapons\u2026 Everyone\u2019s got a scorestreak because it\u2019s participation and not skill.\u201d Both the SBMM and scorestreak complaints have been popular ones for Black Ops Cold War players, and the sentiment seems to be echoed from the top down. Whether Activision or Treyarch make changes to either issue remains to be seen, but we might not see Nadeshot streaming Black Ops Cold War for too much longer at this rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
