Played numerous games yesterday, as a duo, and routinely faced off against squads who were obviously pre-made trios.
That means the random 3rd assigned to our squad, an individual who queued solo, was being matched against 3-man pre-made squads?!
Due to the mechanics of Apex (long TTK, relatively small mags, easy revives, quick heals, etc etc), squad coordination & teamwork plays a far greater role in the game than individual skill.
Thus matching solo players against pre-made trios makes a complete mockery of whatever SBMM is trying to achieve.
Here are my suggestions:
- Do away with SBMM, instead match players according to their pre-made squad size.
- Give us duo mode, permanently!
- Solo queuers would be matched into 3 man squads of randoms, and play against other 3 man squads of randoms
- Pre-made duos would play as a duo, against other pre-made duos.
- Pre-made trios would play exclusively against other pre-made trios.
Skill would then reward success, rather than what we have atm which is largely loot luck & matchmaking luck.

@TheJumpingJawa I agree, co-signed. Long TTK favors individual skill though but besides that you make sense.
