Lets Talk About 'Skill-Based Matchmaking'?

Forum Discussion
@JiboTV Sorry, maybe I wasn't very clear ( I was about to get my daily dose of Apex kills and rushed it, heh). I see you as a representative of those that don't like SBMM in its current form, so, if I say "you", I'm usually referring to that category.
I mentioned about my experience of on this forum because things do relate. This new form of SBMM didn't just come out of the blue, it was added in an attempt to address some of the issues of the community, that were pretty visible here, mostly behind topics like "X ruins Apex", "I'm not having fun because of X". Your approach is way better and I appreciated it, replying with my own view on the matter and adding a small twist of fun in it.
SBMM is a good thing in my opinion, far from being a plague, but the community acts like it's an actual calamity, after conveniently ignoring or forgetting that they've asked for it. Perfect for a bit of irony, and I'm sure the community can take it, they're not 6 year-olds (Apex has an age rating of 16+, if you're less, you should be grounded :P).

@DoYaSeeMeHey buddy. Since you are a player in favor of SBMM, I'd love to see how you enjoy it once these endings are 100% percent of your public "casual" lobbies.

This is essentially the ending of every public game I queue into now, and it has no gameplay difference from Ranked, other than I don't earn points in a ranking system for sweating my balls off.
Lower tier players are oblivious to how toxic Public lobbies are for the people who are actually decent at the game.
- @dlpaulson12 I think I'd like to get more of these. It's actually better than facing a full premade squad of predators, where average, no mic, solo queue players like me have very slim chances. It also looks more chill than a full on battle for the win between 2-3 full teams, where I often get killed miliseconds before popping a cell or syringe.
Anyway, these are players not wanting to push stupidly just to die third partied, like "noobs". What I understand from your reply is that you would like rookie players like that, to get an effortless, casual win every now and then. But the lower tier players have nothing to gain from that. They need a more forgiving environment to be able to learn from their mistakes and become better. Also, they don't need their highly skilled teammate spilling toxic frustration on them for every mistake they do.@DoYaSeeMeThey all want rookie average or above average players for easy wins and kills and not be stuck in those matches but they are skilled enough to be in those types of matches... we are NOT I think respawn wanted the battles to be more intense and exciting for them but better for the rest of us aswell
its much easier to learn to be a better player without them in our matches first we learn our own skill level and then start incorporating their play styles into our own gameplay overtime
