You are incorrect. The best way to improve is to play/learn from people better or more knowledgeable. We learn nothing playing against people who are the same level. We stay right there with them. This is a lesson learned in all areas of life. More talented or trained people, stretches our minds and imagination and gets us to try things we have never thought of or seen. All sbmm does is remove the fun for most of the top half of players and make the lower players think they are good, until they play with a friend and get destroyed. My son plays by himself a lot. Top of leader board with 18-8 type numbers. He will say he is ready to play with me and my friends. When he plays with us he goes 4-18. Which is no fun for him and why he rarely plays with us any more. Sbmm made it so friends and family, who are on different levels, cant enjoy the game together.
