this is funny

any decent game these days would obviously do skill based match making...

but i do get the appeal of wanting stomps. it's just fun to own and exult in how good you are at the game. it sucks being reminded every game that you actually are the one that sucks because you play against other players of your level or better. i remember having so much fun in the Overwatch beta because nobody knew what they were doing so you could own a bunch of people if you figured out what you were doing. A year after release, everybody has figured out what they are doing.... so I'm struggling to keep up cause i actually suck at games. It was more fun when I was winning! Now I'm always struggling. It's the same in pretty much any game, like Valorant now. It's fun for me early when everyone sucks and I can win, but when everyone is good and I don't put in a ton of effort to keep up, it can feel like smashing my head into a wall.

So being able to be matched up with some noobs and own them can feel nice. Queuing up some dumb arcade mode and owning noobs because there isn't much match making in there feels good.

...but ultimately it's a false feeling. you aren't winning because you are good. You are just winning because you are playing against players who never really had a chance against you. They are having a bad experience because they have no chance, and you are denying yourself the chance to improve your skills by playing against other players of your skill. You can't progress your ability if you constantly play against bad players who can't beat you... you have to play against other good players and lose, so you can figure out why you lost and be better next time.

That tweet by that bowlingballs guy is absolutely hysterical because he could not possibly be more wrong
