So As a lower level player my point of view.... I get teamed with HIGHER lever players a lot.  with SBMM and die, and then die, and then die...... I have no chance when I drop and a much better team rips me apart... I feel like SBMM has made this game harder to play. I am a rank of only 50 so when I get my team they all seem to be kinda lower ranks... and then the teams we have to play are like 2500+ kills I mean???? I know I need to get better but its kinda hard to grow skill, and get better when you can not even react and your dead. I feel like the game was way better with out SBMM the lobby was more even, MY K/D has dropped to a 0.22 since SBMM has been put in. I really wish EA would find a way to balance this or remove it again. Because its not helping make the game seem fair at all. I had a lot more fun with stronger team mates with out SBMM, It did not feel like ok I'll just have to stand here and die with this SBMM that is in place. I think EA could really find a better way to balance the game. But I know none of the DEVS will read this so what the point. 

Thank you very much for your response. It sounds like you are at the state I mention in my post "You either perform better than you did the last match or die.". Players in a similar situation as you tend to say the game feels stagnate as a result. Some others I know are very good at the game and instead of it feeling stagnate say the difference in team skill is magnified, meaning they feel like they hardly even have a team a lot.

I do hold out hope that the developers or such will read this and develop some insights. I mention elsewhere I have an even greater hope that they will communicate past those insights to offer us players new perspectives and views.

Hi my name is Apex from Predator University. It’s not fair that me as a college baseball player have to play against other college teams. I should get to play 5th grade little leaguers because it’s more fair and enjoyable for me.

The argument is "get better at the game" but when a newish casual player, like me, who likes to have fun, and can only play 2 days a week maybe 4 hours max sees 10 diamond and pred trails on drop, you know for a fact you don't have a chance of winning or even being competitive. And as much as the solo queue preds complain about bad teamates and tough games, it's far more likely that I solo queue as a noob and see 3 stack preds & diamonds. The game is supposed to competitive to an extent not a blow out every time.
