Why Skill Based Matchmaking Isn't Going Away in Black Ops 7

COD isn’t ditching SBMM here’s the real reason. In this short I break down the bell-curve reality: the loud top half hates sweaty lobbies, but the bottom half buys the game and quits if they get stomped.

From a business/retention view, SBMM keeps casuals playing, spending, and coming back. That’s why Activision tackles “low-friction” wins (anti-cheat, tone down skins) but won’t nuke SBMM. Not defending it—just explaining the math. Drop your take below.

I stream games while on a treadmill to stay active and make gaming healthier. My goal is to put in at least one hour a day on the treadmill for the entire month of September, proving you can stay fit and still enjoy gaming. Come hang out while I get some miles in and play at the same time

We’re also running a Battlefield 6 giveaway this month. Two winners will get a free key for the platform of their choice (PC, Xbox, or PlayStation). Entry is simple through our Discord, and we’ll be drawing names live on release day. Since our community is still small, you’ve got a real shot at winning, so don’t miss it! https://discord.gg/AQjsJA9N
