It's kind of annoying for someone like me. It seems to not be able to find a place for me. I'll have a few games with lower level opponents and do well, then a game or two with markedly better people and get smoked. Rinse, repeat. I can never get consistent lobbies. Either I'm a good amount better or worse than average.

Maybe I'm just in a weird skill level range. I used to play shooters for hours on end in the Halo 2 and CoD4 days. Now I mainly play RPGs and single player stuff, but have retained some level of shooter skill. I'm also 31 now with a job and fiance and life.

So maybe I'm just better than your average gamer, but not nearly as good as streamers who do nothing but play so SBMM has a hard time placing me.

I just accept my fate if I've had a few 3+ K/D games in a row knowing that some team of kids who play 8 hours a day is coming for me.

EXACTLY. I am right there with you. Halo 3 was my bread and butter my dude. I am now 27 with a kid, a small business, and a full time job on top of that. With the very few hours a week I get to play, I don't want to have to sweat just to NOT get my ass stomped completely. Like I said, I don't mind it every once in a bit but I don't like never being the top. If I am the top, its once a week, max, followed by endless games of destruction. Gaming, I am realizing, is only causal when you play it solo.

Ah Halo 3 the game that first introduced SBMM into the series. Good times.
