Greetings, Devil Dog! Welcome to the Call of Duty Forums. It looks like you're looking forward to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, but haven't created an account yet. Why not take a minute to Hello guys 
So this is something that’s been on my mind for a while and I wanted to see if I’m the only one noticing it or if others feel the same.
We all know about SBMM, that’s not new. But lately it feels like there’s something else going on w matchmaking… like the system isn’t just looking at skill, but possibly other factors too. I’m not gonna define anything too hard because I don’t wanna spoil opinions, I’m more interested in what you guys actually think.
For example, have you ever felt like your lobbies suddenly change in a weird way? or certain lobbies feel unfair? I’ve seen people talk about things like microtransactions affecting matchmaking, but I’m not sure what to believe anymore.
I’m actually looking into this deeper as part of a personal research, and I need real input from COD players (not just personal assumptions). If you’ve got 10–12 minutes, I put together something where you can share your experience. AND It’s completely anonymous, no personal info at all.
If you don’t wanna do that, that’s fine too. I’m still really interested in hearing your thoughts here. Do you think matchmaking is purely skill-based, or smthn else?
