This method of arrangement has a controversial counterpart, “engagement optimized” matchmaking. This kind of matchmaking prioritizes player retention and in-game purchases. SBMM is a more transparent form of EOMM, aiming to keep up engagement by challenging players without exhausting them. For some content creators, this also means no “pub-stomping” (when an experienced and well-organized team obliterates the less experienced and less organized members of a lobby)\n        \n        ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/BfMc-ZovSv4rGmZkeFGyHIHwikXuq6NLDmb3tagtH1I/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQxMjcxLzE2ODMz/MTY1MTItYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
