Matchmaking is broken!
So I play with two of my friends and we play mostly Pubs. We are gold level players. Never climbed above gold 1. And yet, in pubs, we keep betting annihilated by players with 4k, Master/Predator ...

SBMM is and always has been a joke. That's what ranked play is for. Pubs should just be a free-for-all of randomly filled lobbies.
This season is particularly terrible for SBMM. Typically I get to Diamond every season then stop ranked play, but have grinded to Master in a previous season (not fun to do). This season, 9/10 of my pub matches are against 3 stack pred/master teams. May as well be playing ranked, why even have the distinction between the two? My win rate, which has averaged 20% since the game launched, is down to 12% this season.
Between that and dying behind closed doors or around wall cover, this season is the most frustrating for pub play.
@iTz_TwizteD_3k Your success rate is crazy high, maybe you weren't being correctly matched before? Consider yourself lucky that you're only feeling the squeeze now. Some have struggled with this for multiple seasons now without catching a break. Either way, I agree that it shouldn't be in pubs.
- @Sand_spitter 12% win rate is still crazy good. All other things equal, most players should expect a win rate of 5% in Trios (1 out of 20 squads) and 3.33% in Duos (1 in 30 squads). I'm a below average player who plays only pubs and my win rate is about 3.5% and that's where I'd expect it to be.
SBMM is still complete crap though. I should never be matched up with or against high ranked players but I regularly am. It is no fun for me and I can't imagine that having a trash can like me on a pred's team is very fun for them.
