@JiboTVI just added the streamer part because I’ve watched streamers saying they want to give us a great viewing experience but its hard against players of similar skill level

I see your point about no longer being able to play with your friends, alot of people are saying that

I also see the view where this wasn’t really much a problem in the past either I mean occasionally you would just get wrecked by a premade squad of predators but it didnt happen every single match

I’m not really a new player I’ve played since Season 1 but I never botherred with rank decides alittle when it first came out also I can also only play about half the week and use a controller with no aim assist like on console so not much of a match against higher rank players with mouse/keyboard I think this is why I enjoy SBMM alittle more it maybe the lower end to average end of the SBMM spectrum but the matches are in no means ‘’easy’’ either the opponents are sometimes below my skill level but other times far above it as well I still see players with 7-8k kills as champions

Im a pretty pessimistic person so I just see things in black/white naturally I just feel like its pretty hard to find a sweet spot in SBMM in its current state to make everyone happy

Yup agree completely with this I'm done playing. I've sat through all the bugs, all the hours of grinding to get better and all the rough patches this game has gone through. I feel that I've been robbed of my time and money I've spent. All you developers care about is money. Just trying to figure out a way to get as many people to play the game and spend money as you can. It's ruined my experience. It's tragic that such a good game can be ruined so fast. I get stomped on every game now just so you guys can gather a bunch of noobs and make the experience better for only them I have 3 choices right now: ranked, casual ranked or just not to play at all I'm choosing the third I'm over it.

  @RwFinfrock and it includes one free gift (emote/skin/glider/ect.) a day as part of the days of Christmas or whatever. It brought me back but I still hop on Apex for my dailies as I paid for the pass and want me rewards.
  
  It's insane though and I hope Apex does something similar.

    @iBlockHeadWhen people got tired of sweats in fortnite they made bots. Not that I want apex to make bots, but I think we can all agree that it would be nice to see apex more reactive to feedback. The dev's are less considerate of community feedback and not nearly as creative or engaging as fortnite is. I think it's pretty plain to see why fortnite held a crowd for nearly 10 seasons but the game is getting old after 3 in apex.

I appreciated this game and understood changes took time when I was dealing with the severe hitbox issues pathfinder had during season 1-2. I am unsure if the experience I am having is intentional with the developers being silent, I'd like to believe it is not and that the developers will provide changes to the SBMM. I just hope they bring something close to the changes I requested, but if not, I'd like if they explained why they took a different route.
I think this is a problem that we are experiencing which scales up, the more people get better, the more they might realize that SBMM isn't so sustainable currently. I think it would be a lot more apparent to those that solo queue. Anyways, thanks for your response and perspective!
