What's happening in ranked is precisely what SBMM will cause in casual too; if you match predators against just diamond, diamonds will simply stop playing.

If you drive away diamond-tier, the burden of playing against predators then falls upon platinum. Repeat.

It's a classic runaway cascade failure scenario, and it's going to cause the death of Apex.

The only solution I believe in, is no match making; that way the burden of the predator population is spread amongst the entire population of the game.

Another less desirable approach would be to reduce the effect of the high skill ceiling weapons, abilities & combat mechanics, and increase the impact of luck dependent aspects.

@TheJumpingJawa honestly this seasons Predators are just last seasons diamonds, plats and even some gold, with the way everyone is force quitting its so easy to get to pred. I got to diamond the first month where there was a few preds in all my cues climbing through the ranks. I took 2 months off for a new job came back and now there is 18,000 predators, no where near as many last season.

If there was any reason to feel predator isn't worth the grind it is that. I mean you can solo que to predator alone. That's a problem. Also Diamond cue now is 150-200 people in my area around Dallas in the evening. If it takes me a while its probably because im solo queing and getting paired with plats playing with diamonds
