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 Idk if you had noticed in duos that numerous teams used to team up and play duos, even i had been assigned randomly to one of those squads where 4 teams including mine were working together to take on other enemies. So, placing duos permanently will result in these teaming up scenarios, also that'll delay matchmaking.
- 6 years ago@Dokuganryu699 A simple report option would fix that, in Solos players would team up but it dosnt matter you can 1 vs 3 squads all the time in regular Matches so 1 vs 2 with a pathfinder and wattson isn’t a problem
