Lets Talk About 'Skill-Based Matchmaking'?

Forum Discussion
So sick and tired of Youtubers and others crying that they can no longer pawn noobs all day long and get a 20 kill game every day. Welcome to the game that 90+ percent of us experience every time we play. Pre-made squads of good players dominate yes, and noobs like myself get pwned a lot, and most of us do not have a pre-made squad and yes it's a design fault.
But that doesn't mean we should go back to no SBMM where noobs like myself do not get a game at all. Staycation uploaded a Youtube video yesterday crying the same which actually turns out to illustrate the best reason why SBMM should stay. EA/Respawn should not be changing game design to accommodate 0.2% of the player base which the other 99.8% would suffer for.
@G3T_ST1FF3D Omg, you didnt understand anything from Staycations video and nothing from this many replies. Let me sum it up for you; Sbmm right? Skill based.. So do you consider 1,6 kd guy matching constantly with pre made predator PRO squads in normal pub games? 1/2 of my matches in the morning is with ShivFPS. A few days ago i got killed by him 9 times in 5 hours. Because there are not enough PRO players i get matched with the same ppl all day, am i a pro ? I got a 1,6k/d for gods sake!
I dont want to own every game, i didnt get a 20kill game also BUT i want to be able to * play the game! If i see a guy from 100mt just a second late i am dead. Do you consider a 1,6kd guy to be this good? Is this my skill level?
Staycation is saying the exact same thing! He is getting matched up with ultimate pro s all day long and he is not a pro nor he is very good in the game. So it ruins our experience.
More importantly SBMM is in the lobby yeah but it doesnt apply to my team. So, you noobs get into my PRO lobby and get in my team looking at purple stock for 5 seconds deciding if you should loot it(and this is not their fault, i am not angry with noobs but its not fair for them and not fair for me to be in the same team in this HIGH tier lobby). Meanwhile PRO teams are coming in hot on me. So you want me to enjoy this game?
As i stated before, i am not against SBMM at all. But this version is *. I am not joking, i wait 1-2 minutes at least to even start the game because it cant even find enough PRO s for my lobby! What the hell? I agree that noobs should be protected but that doesnt mean:
a: okay lets protect noobs
b:What about the rest?
a: the rest, let them rot.
b:What about pros?
a:They are gods, they will survive and own again.
b:okay, what about the non pros and non noobs?
a:Oh my child, they are in purgatory and only Winchesters can save them now.

@WickXIHonestly I don’t even feel like ‘’it’s protecting the noobs’’ anymore theres a broad range of 0 kill players to 16k kills in my lobbys and thats not ok... a good majority of the players have thousands of kills... how tf is that protecting the noobs they need to fix this damn game its becoming no different than the way it was before SBMM for me it actually has gotten much worse I can barely do any damage before getting wiped game after game... im not necessarily a noob Ive played 750+ hours but these lobbys are bullsh*t most have way more badges kills and wins than I do... combined on all my characters
