The lack of SBMM in XDefiant is helping some players realize that skill-based matchmaking may have been helping them after all.
SBMM in any online FPS has often been a point of contention for a game’s community — just ask any CoD player in the past few years. So, to address the potential complaints in advance, Ubisoft developed XDefiant without the ever-controversial feature included . Now, you’d think its players would be enjoying the game even more since you aren’t being matched with ‘sweats’ all the time. However, some are now realizing that not having SBMM may be worse than the alternative.
the current era of gaming, it’s nearly impossible to avoid being matched with ‘sweats’ because, unlike other genres, FPSs are designed to have a winning and losing team, which unsurprisingly brings out the competitive nature of its players. So, whether you’re a fan of SBMM or not, facing players who do everything within their power to win is almost a foregone conclusion.
