I promote A/B testing constantly.
Here is a list of things other than desk height that you should be A/B testing to see what produces best accuracy and consistency results.
1. Mice
2. Monitor distance
3. Mouse grips
4. Brightness/contrast
5. Mouse skates
6. Monitor tilt
(I'm going to leave "mouse pads" off the list. But you should definitely use your best pad that fits the aiming style for the conditions you are in.)
What did I miss?

People will tell you classic COD Multiplayer is finished when the BO2 port last summer outperformed the entire industry as a mere port of a 14 year old game.
The itch never went away. The experience itself did.
SBMM has COD MP in handcuffs.
Until it changes, nothing will.
SBMM/EOMM KILLS GAMES
please bring back open playlist, i actually feel miserable playing in my lobbies, all fun is being sucked out with how sweaty they are @InfinityWard @CallofDuty

Aim community. You SO TIRED of seeing the posts about desk height. And to be 100% honest, I am SO TIRED of posting about desk height.
The good news. We are almost done with talking about desk height.
The bad news. We will be moving to angle adjustment next. Fingers crossed that there will be enough momentum from desk height being proven true that we won't have to do this new song and dance for any length of time.
You guys are ready for me to go. And I am ready to move on to new projects. And I really have to wonder... how many of you will be ACTUALLY be making the Suprised Pikachu Face when all of this is proven out. I think most of you already know.
Testers that had previously posted positive results had to have already convinced a fair number of you. And the TenZ video has got to have been kind of an "oh shit" moment for anyone that was still on the fence about whether all of this was legit or not.
So if you're still only holding out engaging on this now because I am annoying AF, I only have one thing to say.
There was always opportunity available for *anyone* that had the good sense to make an easily digestible video exploring desk height and its effect on accuracy.
And regardless of whether your verdict had ended up being "proven" or "debunked" it would have generated a ton of interest.
And still no one ever did it.

SBMM/EOMM kills Games
Obviously we all hate SBMM and for virtually the same reasons, but what really sucks is not playing with your friends:/
I have multiple groups i run with, and some outwardly say they dont want me to party up because it makes the games too sweaty
Ive just been playing by myself now because i feel bad, and im kinda tired of hearing people blame me for getting in non-stop ranked lobbies.
If theres ever a genuine reason to get rid of SBMM, its so friends can play together without having the lower skilled ones get punished severely

Aspiring content creators.
Here is a concept that has been drip-fed to me by a few of my managers over the last 20 yrs. I will try to combine all of this as succinctly as I can.
Everyone says that they aren't ready when that new opportunity appears. Well guess what! The person that seized the previous opportunity wasn't ready either. They decided that they wanted it and then they threw their hat into the ring.
What's the worst thing that would happen if you don't succeed? If nothing else, you will be much better prepared for the next opportunity that presents itself.
If you are waiting around until you are fully ready, it's never going to happen. Someone else who also wasn't ready will just take the opportunities that could have been yours and run with them everytime.
Your experience has value right now. For example... if you have yourself convinced that you need to be a specific rank in a video game before you REALLY lean into content, then you are missing the boat. Document your journey and build your audience. And start now.
If a concept that you are interested in has basically no one else exploring it today, you need to move fast. Make a terrible video right now, and a slightly better one later today. And a better one tomorrow.
Best is the enemy of better. Waiting until the conditions are perfect is just a plan that guarantees that you never start.
The best day to plant a tree was yesterday. The second best day to plant a tree is today.
You can do this! ❤️
People who REALLY want to do something will find a way. People who don't want to do something will find an excuse. Get on it!!

This is why SBMM/EOMM kills games. No one wants to be manipulated
I know people keep telling me that the game is designed to rubber-band you toward a 1.0 K/D and that I should just accept it. But honestly, what’s the point of even playing at that point?
The game isn't fun when you're going 19–18, not because you're necessarily playing badly, but because every gunfight feels like it sets you up to lose the next one. You get a kill, take damage in the process, and then someone slides around the corner and finishes you off while you're sitting at 20 health from the previous fight.
It feels like the game punishes you for winning a gunfight by putting you at a disadvantage in the next one. If the goal is to force everyone toward a 1.0 K/D, regardless of how well they're actually playing, then where's the incentive to improve? What's the point of getting better if the experience is designed to keep dragging you back down?

Every match I play in quick play ends up being 195-200 in Domination, 230-250 in Hardpoint, 3 out of 6 of my teammates going negative while the other team is entirely positive on KD and I have to exert more energy than I normally would as a higher skill player playing this game because of this. How exactly does SBMM benefit the game with pre determined outcomes on matches like this that are fine tuned to where nobody ever actually has to get better at the game like I did when I was younger?

I want to thank everyone who has ever spoken to me with a good faith interest in testing angle adjustment and/or desk height. ❤️ A ton of people have produced aim and/or ergonomic benefits. And hearing about these results always makes my day! ❤️ I appreciate you! ❤️ @AMEdotexe ❤️
