Get rid of sbmm

Idk how it's so hard for games to understand that sbmm ruins games. It makes every single game it's ever been in worse, it costs money to make and keep track of just to make less people play and make it so no one has fun. I know companies think it does the opposite but I guarantee It only hurts the game and lowers revenue. People that are bad are going to do bad no matter what and they are fine with that, it's the cost of getting better. The goal is to get good enough to be better than most people so it's actually fun to play, sbmm does not allow that. Ranked is the only place sbmm should be. With random lobbies the new players would land on the outside of the map where other new and unskilled players go and the skilled players will hot drop and kill each other off giving the more unskilled players a chance to win because there will naturally by few skilled teams left. Sbmm makes everyone mad at the game all the time and that makes the other flaws of the game much more apparent. It's insanely ignorant to put it in public matches and really is shocking companies are still dumb enough to do it. I have not had fun on the game in a week now and probably won't be playing much longer. there are alot of other people that are feeling the same way. Matchmaking has been insane lately and it's so unnecessary. There is no point of ranked if pubs is actually harder, have a little common sense

    What sbmm?
    Apex doesn't have any. It keeps promising it. Yet they have yet to deliver.

    With how many people I see constantly complaining about how unfair the matches are and how much better other games are that have an actual sbmm. I still very much disagree with the statement that sbmm kills games.

  • SBMM is in the process of being removed as indicated in their official blog post.

    Either way, it's probably going to take a long time as a lot of data is required to properly make adjustments to the system.

    It's most likely going to be a more gradual change instead of an instant fix to anything related to the matchmaker.

    And it's not exactly like we know what kind of systems they've incorporated into their matchmaking systems, so personally I feel like it's not going to be easy for us to exactly know how the matchmaker will work unless they release more information related to it.

    Noice. Though I find a flaw with the analysis... "sbmm" gives me teammates who 9/10 times drop in Fragment (and equivalent on other maps) and insta die. They don't seem particularly "skilled" to me.

  • @1unown1 Nope it's the exact opposite... Sbmm protects you from having very very bad games against three stacks pros, preds, masters. Without it you would get bad randoms and would get annihilated by three stacks preds and masters every game in 2 seconds. You would very much get mad and preds/masters would get 40-50 kills on the lobby.
