      No, gamers ruined multiplayer gaming

      SBMM is awesome if you're chill cause every match should be slightly challenging your skill and honing them

      Without it, every game you'd probably either get stomped and not have fun or stomp on others and also not have fun unless you're a loser

        Without it we’d still have server browsers as the primary avenue for game finding, and you’d just find a community of people that you jived with and have fun, building community bonds and having fun without worrying about your ELO or whatever.

          Wanted to do competitive play anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: it was called CLANS.

        They did, but you used to be able to find a good chill server that would just votekick them or laugh them out of town.
