Call of Duty YouTuber Starts Petition to Remove SBMM After Destiny Wins

Ever feel like every Call of Duty lobby is a sweat fest? You're not alone. YouTuber Tdawgsmitty has had enough, and he's doing something about it. He's started a petition to remove skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) from the franchise, and it's already getting attention.

The move comes after Destiny players scored a major victory with their own protests against SBMM. That success seems to have lit a fire under the Call of Duty community. Tdawgsmitty is hoping to replicate that momentum, arguing that SBMM makes matches feel like ranked play every time you queue up.

If you've played recent Call of Duty titles, you know the drill: you do well in a few games, then suddenly you're matched against players who never miss. It can be exhausting, especially if you just want to chill with friends. The petition aims to change that by pressuring developers to ditch the system.

Of course, SBMM isn't going anywhere without a fight. Developers have long defended it as a way to protect newer or less skilled players from getting stomped. But critics say it punishes improvement and makes casual play less fun. It's a debate that's been raging for years, and now it's front and center again.

For now, the petition is just the first step. Whether it gains enough traction to force change remains to be seen. But with Destiny's example fresh in everyone's minds, Call of Duty fans are hoping history repeats itself. If you're tired of sweaty lobbies, you might want to keep an eye on this one.

What do you think? Should Call of Duty ditch SBMM for good, or is it here to stay? Let us know in the comments.
