Engagement Optimized Matchmaking (EOMM) in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 can significantly impact good players in several ways:
Lobby Manipulation: EOMM adjust the skill level of opponents in lobbies to keep players engaged. For good players, this could mean experiencing a rollercoaster of match difficulties, where after a few good games, they might be placed in lobbies with much higher-skilled opponents to balance their winning streak, making the game feel less rewarding or more frustrating.
Artificially Balanced Experience: EOMM might intentionally manipulate game outcomes to prevent players from doing consistently too well or too poorly. This manipulation could mean that players might encounter scenarios where they feel their performance is artificially capped or altered, such as through perceived changes in hitboxes or aiming accuracy.
Frustration and Disincentive: Players might find the game less enjoyable if they feel the system is working against them to maintain an engagement-driven balance. This could lead to a disincentive to play at their best, knowing that their skill might lead to tougher matches without any real progression or satisfaction.
Cheating Perception: There's a sentiment among some players that strict matchmaking systems like EOMM could inadvertently promote cheating since players might feel the need to use external aids to maintain their performance level against artificially balanced lobbies.
Overall, while EOMM aims to keep all players engaged by tailoring the gaming experience, for players, it can create a sense of manipulation, reducing the fun and challenge of naturally improving and competing at various skill levels.
