@DarthVaapar Your original assumption is flawed.
"On the contrary, you are being fairly pitted against players of similar skill"
This is patently false. Respawn's sbmm algo is broken.
Answer me why are players with 1k kills no 2k badge being placed in lobbies with 4k 20kills badge players with 20k kills?
A player with 1.5 kdr are placed against 7kdr it's not even close.
If respawn is determined to keep sbmm at least relax the tiers it uses.p and fix their algo. Keeping pub matches random and fresh was why apex legends become so popular in Feb and March.

Flawed assumption? Patently false?
Please.... Try again.
Sure, it may not n the best SBMM ever created, but it’s much better than it was. All metrics overwhelmingly support that SBMM is very healthy for the sustainability of competitive games. Frankly, it’s very logical and easy to understand. No assumption necessary.
Your next part is priceless.
You describe, in a question to me, an example of mixed tiered matches, then complain that Respawn should relax SBMM in order to achieve mix tiered matches.
You’re a gem.
The only time that I experience a relaxing of tiers in standard play is during off-peak hours. This is to be expected and a function of all decent SBMM systems.
What is patently false; however, is your notion that matches being “random” and “fresh” is what made Apex popular in February and March. Nothing could be further from the truth. What made this game great was that it had great gunplay and movement mechanics in a squad based BR with hero characters having different in-game abilities.
