I dont think that Respawn ever said that casual game modes is supposed to have a "hard" SBMM. Perhaps they do some rough sorting, like trying to place the real low skilled players in another lobby than 3-stack predator-level players or splitting 3-stacks and solo Qs as much as possible, but other than that, I think casual mode is like one big melting pot. One subtle indication of this is that ranked mode has the text "play against similary skilled players" or something like that whereas causal modes havent.
I kinda like this tbh; this means that your "absolute" skills will determine how you do in you games when playing casual. That means that if you are average, you will have average result but if you are good, you will do better.
Guess casual mode is causal and ranked mode is hard SBMM.. The sad thing is that Respawn define "skill" in SBMM for ranked as "current rank" and not actual skills in the game, which makes ranked mode feel unfair if you are low skilled.
Really? Casual modes are just 1 big pot and randomly selected to go together. Honestly I see this, because I got matched with a level 4 player and in the same lobby the champions were 10000 career kills. That's definitely infuriating to me though. I play for fun, not to die to people who play this game most of their free time
The problem I see is you cannot setup a custom match with friends as easily with Apex Legends as you could with something like Halo because you need 30 players minimum as to say 4 or 8.
but it would be interesting if they let you fill in that 30 with bots.
