SBMM: Letting the Player Choose
After reading the matchmaking test results post and how they identified two core groups of players, I had a thought:
How feasible would it be to add a setting to let the individual player decide between what kind of SBMM they want to use?
There would be the normal MMR by default. From there a player who wants more reliably even matches can opt in to a version of SBMM to allow that, with the warning it may result in longer wait times. Players who want matches one after the other can opt in to one of the faster matching versions of SBMM, with the warning that matches may be with players of a wider range of skill.
I'm sure there's other ways to do it, but this is just to get the basic idea across.
