In the clip, he said, “I will be honest with you guys. If SBMM wasn’t a thing, I would stream Multiplayer.” Then he went even far by blaming SBMM for, “Killing video games as a whole.”
As Tim has played Battle Royals for the majority of his career, and even said, that’s what he loves streaming. The reason why he preferred battle royals over Multiplayer FPS is that, according to him, the lobbies are unfair, which results in a dissatisfactory experience.

Both the fans of Call of Duty and Tim’s followers jumped into the replies to express their thoughts. The fans of the multiplayer FPS for not being good enough to face other pros in SBMM. While his Followers agreed with their Streamer’s sentiment and defended his claims.
don't have too much sympathy for streamers not being able to create '70 kill OMG WTF' gaming content in noob lobbies, when SBMM across the board provides a much better experience for the majority of gamers/customers/consumers.

best comment here! that’s exactly it, all youtubers and streamers want the easy way, they don’t want to get embarrassed in front of their viewers, they’ll play it at launch and move on to warzone again to have this false sense of power to feel good about themselves 🥱🙄😒
