Remove SBMM from Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

The Issue

Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is a first person shooter game taking place in the 1980’s during the Cold War. In the multiplayer Activision and Treyarch have implemented a system to the matchmaking called Skill Based Matchmaking (Or SBMM for short). This is a system returning from Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare that makes the game overall less fun to play. The game automatically takes your performance from the last few matches and puts you into games based on your skill instead of connection. This means that this can cause unstable connections because of your skill level.

The reason this is a problem is that once you start doing good, everyone will start being way too difficult, causing you to become frustrated because when you start doing good, you get laggy, maddening matches. This is a third of the core Black Ops Cold War experience, and it is not joyful to play with people spending upwards of $60 to play it. I propose 3 alternatives to fix the issue.

1. Remove The SBMM completely 

2. Create a Casual and Ranked Playlist

3. Be able to turn off SBMM from the Settings menus

Please Spread this Petition to wherever possible. People like me are frustrated and want to see the game improve. Thank you.
