Nadeshot demands Infinity Ward add Warzone ranked after SBMM struggles YouTube: 100 Thieves \/ Infinity WardMatthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag has taken a swipe at Infinity Ward\u2019s decision to have skill-based matchmaking, but not a ranked playlist, in the new-look Warzone battle royale and Modern Warfare\u2019s main multiplayer modes. Skill-based matchmaking, or SBMM, has long been a hot topic in FPS titles. Devs often turn to the notorious feature to level the casual playing field, but top-level pros and streamers are a little less fond of how it changes games. While competing in KEEMSTAR\u2019s new Warzone Wednesday tourney, Nadeshot felt as though he fell victim to the skill-based feature again. In the beginning, he and squadmates CouRage and Cloakzy were racking up 40+ kill games. The high-hauls put them in pole position for the $20,000 first-place pot. Soon, however, they began to struggle. They eventually finished third. There had been other factors, but in Nadeshot\u2019s eyes, one thing changed the most: difficulty. SBMM seemed to take hold as his star-studded team rampaged in Verdansk, and the 100 Thieves star lashed out at the issue again. Nadeshot calls for a ranked queue in Warzone In particular, he admitted he would \u201cnever understand\u201d why Infinity Ward \u2014 and all CoD devs for the past few years \u2014 would \u201cgo to all the trouble to implement skill-based matchmaking,\u201d but \u201cwon\u2019t add a ranked system.\u201d That was the best solution for the problem, Nadeshot said. With casual lobbies keeping that \u201cpub\u201d feel, and ranked queues matching the best with the best, it resolved the issue. The only question was why it hadn\u2019t happened yet. \u201cIf you\u2019re going to match me up against better players, why can\u2019t I have a rank to be proud of and work towards?\u201d the 100 Thieves founder added. I\u2019ll never understand why Call of Duty goes through all of the trouble to implement skill based matchmaking but won\u2019t add a ranking system.

Respawn admitted Apex Legends has skill-based queues in its public lobbies, while Modern Warfare\u2019s devs have skirted around the topic in the past. Nadeshot is near-certain both Warzone, and the main Call of Duty title, do have some kind of SBMM though. He\u2019s so certain, he added he \u201cwouldn\u2019t believe\u201d any IW devs who suggested it wasn\u2019t present in the 2019 release. \u201cThere are 30 million registered players playing Warzone. Somehow I consistently face off against players I know that are at the top of the leaderboards. It\u2019s beyond coincidence,\u201d the 100 Thieves star said. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m going to match against all of those 30 million players. But even if there were a fraction of those players online in the US alone, the odds of me matching against multiple friends multiple times is absolutely absurd. \u201cThis includes players on my friends list that live all over the country so I know it\u2019s not connection-based. I\u2019ve fought Merk, Teepee, Maven, Crowder, JoshOG, Diego, Huskers, Crimsix, Ninja, and Noah all in the last few days MULTIPLE times.\u201d This includes players that are on my friends list that live all over the country so I know it\u2019s not connection based.

Outside of a studio visit in February, the devs have never commented on matchmaking systems before. Don\u2019t expect this to change. Devs may not comment, but YouTubers Drift0r and TheXclusiveAce did find results in new tests. They discovered there are skill-based metrics that determine lobbies, so be ready for hard battles if you stomp a few games in a row.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
