Re: Perfect Teammate Match & Finding System

@E9ine_AC 

You are not an EA employee and acknowledge that the SBMM system is not working properly. If you think the topic is correct, I expect your support, not your advice.

@E9ine_AC 

Thanks for saying SBMM is bad and supporting the issue. What you choose to do is irrelevant.

Finding your own solution to a faulty system by playing not solo or not use SBMM system shows EA's inability.

@E9ine_AC 

Great answer and a great solution to the problem in lieu of any other changes that I will not hold my breath waiting for.

@BaldWraithSimp I couldn't find it after a short search. If you find it, I would like you to share it.

😃 😃 😃 😃 LOL 😃 😃 😃

like this You buy a car, it has automatic windows. However, it doesn't work. The solution is open the door. 
It may have been a bad example. But I tried to give an example of absurd solutions.

@E9ine_AC 

If you want to avoid the problem completely, you can not play at all.🙌

Anyway, back to the topic, thanks for supporting the SBMM not working properly. So how would SBMM be better? How would you like it to be?

@l_mRGogo It was from my memory, but here is is the Link

Search term is 'apex legends season _' and then click on ea.com site that appears. There is no data for season 9 onwards so keep that in mind 

@BaldWraithSimp 

You said "from most recent EA ranked blogs, diamond players in BR are like 6 %. Bear in mind that they stopped doing the rank distribution chart since last season if I remember correctly."

I didn't see anything like that in your url. I may have a mistake.

@l_mRGogo 

Naw driving with the door open is bad. just break the window. 🙂 

On the other hand I play Arenas mostly solo. it can be not so fun due to MM and as others have mentioned it could all be mostly player base driven for this mode, times of day etc. So for a quick fix teaming up would fix half the problem. Not a long term solution though.

For Pubs and Ranked trios playing with friends is a viable solution. I play with both friends and solo que. when I play with friends we have hard but good matches. when I solo que it is either feast or famine but rarely that balanced good game. Since the game is created as a team based game maybe playing solo que is not the best for everyone so maybe find that one to two friends acquaintances and play with them in order to alleviate the bad teammate aspect of the game. 

@E9ine_AC 

We are not asking about the hard or the easy part. We say SBMM is not working properly. You say that it won't get better anyway, let's not touch it. It's like saying something, we're going to die one day so let's not live.  

@Asmodeus566 

Thanks for the advice. But I'm not looking for advice. There is a problem, I am expressing it and I am waiting for support. It's funny to act like it's okay.

@l_mRGogo 

I support your cause to have the SBMM improved. My suggestions have been posted in the thread.

Advice will always be given to go with suggestions.

It's not the first sbmm post and it won't be the last, I have seen posts come and go. What you should care about is yourself, is it worth making posts over and over for a morsel of hope? It's been almost 3 years, Solo-queue will always be like that in this game or any other multiplayer game. Nothing will change that.

As for my experience, I have about 2000 hrs plus in Solo-queue which is majority of my playtime. 

I'm genuinely curious if there's a single game where the MM is almost flawless or does its job incredibly. I've played some of the biggest MP games out there like DOTA and Overwatch where there are also MM problems. In my opinion, it can be improved but having bad teammates is unavoidable. It's just that people have different game styles. Some people in the forums suggested to have "Playstyle preference" when being matched which won't go well since you can be sweaty at the beginning then just hold out a single spot during the late rounds of the game. Matchmaking will always be a complicated topic.

edit: I was playing Fall Guys the other day and people were doing tricks that I didn't know were even possible. I guess the MM isn't perfect in this game as well. Still a fun casual game though. Bought it on switch too.

@hayhor I agree that the MM is not an easy feat to master for the Devs and that there will always be some problems. Nothing is perfect. With that said I EA/Respawn have the data and I think they are constantly trying to make it better as a whole and as players there are ways we can mitigate some of the MM randomness by how and who we play with.

@l_mRGogo 

The car analogy brightened my day also. I almost fell out of my chair laughing at it and myself.

@E9ine_ACjust FYI - played season 11 daily for 4+h each day (maybe skipped one or two) only via people from Discord (EU and NA region) + posted on reddit that I am looking for teammates, plus signed up here in forums in threads where people were looking for a squad.

Current results:
- added like 10 people per day in my discord banlist <- not kidding man, maybe even more
- had a great chat with 5 people who came via reddit or forums or discord directly to team up, agreed on multiple game related stuff like let's not be afraid to lose some RP and see it as an investment in the team, analyze made mistakes, talk it over, remain humans even during arguments...2 weeks later all 5 are in my banlist as they either ragequitted or came to be total a$$oles

Playing with friends is easy if you have friends who play Apex but in reality, most of the people don't - 2 days ago even played with a freaking military soldier who said that they have a room dedicated for gaming and they play there together for limited hours and even him - damn military regime product - did not play with his comrades :D just to show how theory differs from reality.

end of rant 🙂
