Do VPNs Give Easy Lobbies in Warzone? | (Can you Disable SBMM?)

  • I've been hearing a lot of talk about VPNs in Warzone and many people claim that they can be used to get around the Skill Based Matchmaking system to get significantly easier lobbies. Today I wanted to put these claims to the test for myself and share the results with you guys. What did you think of the results of my tests and what are your thoughts on people using VPNs in Warzone?

      Tsek! Stay out of our lobbies in Africa 🤣!
      Reality is it’s actually tough to find lobbies in Africa - during peak times we can find 30/60ms ping but unless you’re willing to wait for 15/20mins to find a game - you generally play 180/230ms ping games - European and Middle East servers.

      @@jamesmulligan2741 I think the way that the matchmaker chooses your lobbies is by looking at your Skill/KD and then your connection. But if your connection is poor (by using a VPN), then the matchmaker tunes down your SBMM and prioritises ping instead.

Which its really weird considering Canada and the US share the same servers, yet it seems like all the time on Warzone, everybody I'm matched with doesn't speak english. Yet when I get into core modes - its usually english or french. Zombies I usually get the no mic kids - which is great. Just silence, peace and zombie killing. Aside from the odd game I do get players with mics - usually a group of hicks who need a 4th when they could just play zombies with a party of 3. But Warzone its always spanish dudes - but the kids always scream slurs in english, so its weird.

      We played like 20 games, and ONLY once.. we got a 0.93 KD game. We ended up winning that one. Our only win.
      Then, just for fun, I compared it to the games of the group of Tfue, Sympfuny, etc.. They all have over 4 or 5 kd.. and they get lobbies that are 0.8, 1.0.. and some times, they get a 1.1 or 1.2.
      Something is really fishy.
      I will not mind playing hard lobbies if there was a ranked mode... But sometimes.. You just want to have a bit of fun, play without thinking too much.. Try some off meta weapons that are obvioulsy weaker.. etc.. and that's impossible in the current state of the game, because you meet full swet roze teams with CR56 all the time.
      Pretty annoying :/

      Same, we have a big skill gap on our team but, the lower skilled player is quite uncoordinated. Squad average ends up at 0.8 but because our best player is too good, we constantly end up in 1.1+ lobbies. Makes it quite painful for our lower skilled friend who really has no chance at all against a lobby of roze try hards. SBMM essentially means we can’t all have fun together.

      My words, thank you!
      I'm from Germany. If I play badly, I get a good ping and play on servers against players from my country or against other Europeans.
      If I play tactically, aim well with my gun, move quickly on the map, use cover, shoot in the head and throw grenades into the sparwn of my opponent, my ping is increased every round and I wait 10 minutes for a new game .
      Often times I get a server in America, Australia or Asia and a ping from 100 to 300.
      Now any beginner can kill me with server advantage
      before I can see him.
      But I play against other good players and only have bad ones on my team.
      Actions are lost and the game no longer feels smooth.
      If I have a good start and it is 20 to 0 for me. All opponents always wake up in my area, so that I only get 1 KD at the end of the game.
      Too bad, Modern Warfare was a lot of fun at the beginning. Today the situation and high ping are poison for me.
      I'm looking forward to Battlefield and I'm saddened by COD's development. 🤷

    Excellent testing and video! Personally I think if the matchmaking is sacrificing connection to get you in a better skill match, there's no issue with doing anything to get your best connection. To me this is essentially the same as doing something with your home network to get a better connection like using Ethernet vs wifi. If money is on the line though, the playing field should be even.

Evertime that I play on my Playstation with crossplay off, it seems way sweatier than with crossplay turned on and play against Xbox and CPU.

      Activision has tons of patents for micro transaction and SBMM.. One of them, is to try to put yourself in lobbies with people that don't have the skins you have so you can "show off" to try to influence people to buy them too.
      So, if you buy a skin that nobodies has.. They will try to put you with people that don't have that particular skin, to influence them to buy them too... And as new or low player or people that don't play often don't have much skins.. You have higher chances to be put with them in the same lobbies.
