A recent image has been circulating, suggesting that Call of Duty: Warzone lobbies may be affected by microtransaction purchases. While the game community is debating the data, many fans see more than a coincidence within the player’s record. Call of Duty: Warzone has recently been under scrutiny for lobby manipulation, which may be the turning point in community opinions.
Call of Duty: Warzone has been under observation by its community following the reveal of player data and many SBMM allegations. As players look closer at the mechanics behind the game’s matchmaking, one fan has uncovered some startling numbers that may be more than just a coincidence. Call of Duty: Warzone’s lobby may be doing more than just pairing players based on skill.
In a Reddit post authored by rmx49, the Call of Duty: Warzone fan noticed a chance in lobby placement directly following a purchase made from the in-game cosmetic shop. He breaks down his thinking in the comments, pointing out that he was constantly being placed in Diamond tier lobbies despite having a K/D ratio of 0.7. After fighting in games against players whose K/D is triple theirs, the player made a purchase and noticed that their lobbies suddenly dropped to bronze and silver.
Using Google Sheets, he begins to track his game as he tried to break down exactly what the in-game SBMM was doing. Noticing an immediate drop after his purchase, he suddenly felt compelled to inform the online community of his findings.
In the post, he references an Activision patent, which describes microtransactions that may affect in-game matchmaking. While there is no evidence that this patent is in effect in Call of Duty: Warzone, it still stands out as an interesting point in his overall argument towards SBMM manipulation.
Furthering his theory, he points towards streamers that are being accused of abusing the SBMM system. He theorizes that if the game is distorting matchmaking lobbies based on microtransaction purchases, the streamers may be innocent victims of a larger issue. Call of Duty: Warzone may be placing them in less competitive lobbies due to their continued financial support for in-game cosmetic items.
Rather than making blatant claims, he offers his findings and thinking to the community for assessment. All of this is in theory, but his data makes many players consider that it may be closer to the truth than previously thought. While fans dig through his data, the community continues to observe in-game matchmaking habits searching for any possible abuse.
Call of Duty: Warzone is avaialble on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
