Skill-based matchmaking is still a problem in the game

Players around the world are loving the latest Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Despite the success of Warzone, Call of Duty Modern Warfare had gotten a lot of negative reviews. So, the developers had to give their best for the latest Black Ops Cold War title. As for now, newbies and professionals are loving the game but there is one big bone of contention i.e. SBMM.

Skill-based matchmaking in the game is an advantage for new players because they will not face skilled players. However, for the professionals, it is a big setback because their lobbies are stuffed with equally skilled players, making the games intense every time.

It also hampers the streamers and content creators, who struggle to produce good content if they are forced to sweat with highly-skilled players. A simple SBMM based ranked mode in the game and a different multiplayer mode without SBMM can solve this whole issue.
