minus-squareCroquette@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 months agoI personally don’t hate SBMM, but I hate that it is the only option in modern competitive games. When I want to sweat, SBMM is great. But sometimes, I want to goof off with other people. I want the option to play de_westwood pistol/shotgun only server again if I so choose. I want a little bit of control in my gameplay experience. Nowadays, it’s either ultra try hard or people not giving a shit mode, nothing in between.
