Forum Discussion
@JiboTVHe asked me personally, I answered with my view. I see no issue here. But it's pretty ironic that he was "punished" with a win. Also, talking about "zoo predators" isn't at all off topic. It's the SBMM that brings them out. People are crying about k/d ratios falling around here as well.
I'd like to see people bringing queue numbers into the discussion. If a queue is 60-100, SBMM can barely have any influence. To fill a lobby with those 0.2% top players. the queue needs to stay around 30.000 at any given moment. But with queue numbers dozens to hundreds of times smaller, SBMM is barely able to separate beginners from the high skilled players.

Regardless if he asked you personally, my point still stands in that your response is disingenuous or ignorant. You cannot just waltz up in the shoes of someone who experiences lobbies that you don't and act like you understand that level of difference between your lobbies one for one and say whether you'd prefer them. So you are either disingenuous and know your lobbies cannot be compared or ignorant to the fact your games are so different right now. Also, those mindless responses dismissing the point of the discussion by just stating "Zoo predators.", "You just want to be fed." are off-topic ad hominem and irrelevant to the topic of my post based on what I've written. I'll shut them down as I please or ask forum moderators to remove them because ad hominem is not healthy to discussion and is off-topic. Unless you disagree? In which case, (And this is an ironic use of sarcasm if it wasn't clear.) you should just get back to dying in bronze and git gud and stop spamming predators because ur mad at players for being better. See how useless that comment was? Anyways.
Queue numbers in regards to what? My queues are a bit longer than most lower ranked players I associate with. I am pretty patient so I do not mind too much and it seems like they are trying to fix that. Also, the idea that SBMM cannot 'take effect' because queue times are only 60-100 seconds seems like a really weird argument that does not have much basis. It is a priority based system to my knowledge, so the idea that SBMM has barely any influence seems just wrong unless you have information I don't.

You mention at some point platinum players will feel it. I am in platinum in ranked right now. I vowed I wouldn’t play random ranked games yet here I am. My teammates are potatoes in ranked so far( 5 games in). Except for one game, teammate and I went kill for kill to the win.(I haven’t had a game feel that good in weeks) I am not looking for noob stomping just a somewhat balanced game with a chance to win. Ranked is feeling way better atm than casual.
I can actually make a mistake miss a shot what have you and keep fighting. So for me platinum ranked games with randoms feel more balanced player base wise than casual. How is that for ironic.
On a side note and a bit off topic 1 game as above with 5 kills 2 assists and 1700 damage and 1 revive yielded me about 5000 xp. I can get that every game in the winter event. SMH.

So all your squadmembers you get randomly are much lower rank than you?
And you play much better then them?
Well if this is the case, the SBMM has not calculated their rank or your rank in a good way!
There seem to be too high differences in one squad?

I agree with this lol.. im level 13x currently and get level 33's with like 100 kills tops. Usually ill be the first one in a fight and the only one leaving it. That or my team is to scared to fight and runs away.. Yet this is plat...
Regardless of my side track there.. SBMM is a joke. I dont mind playing people better then me.. in fact I prefer it. So to me it is just an excuse for the weak.
