Matchmaking sbmm hasn’t changed in season 20
You said you’d change the ranked matchmaking this season. Played 10 games, zero kills. Killed every time by a 4k master diamond badge guy. I’m in the lowest rank and I can’t get a kill?? What? Playe...

@Midnight9746 predators are a very very tiny minority so it doesnt matter we supposedly are in their lobbies because there are way more rookies, silvers, gold than predators.
Secondly I don't think they completely removed sbmm no game ever did preds still fight against high elo players.
But I can attest this matchmaking is a solo q killer again... played like 20 games and my team never ever won a single fight against opposing team. It is so bad I just play a couple of games and then go watch videos it is more fun.
Something is very very wrong.

@Palette24carats Just played a few ranked matches, its a bit bad. Not S17-S19 bad, but S13 bad. Teammates are useless about 80% of the time, and it seems like one of them is a bot, instead of both of them.
I had a match where a Bloodhound was just running around being a loot goblin, hiding in buildings often and when a fight broke out, they were the first knocked, and they had the golden knockdown while I was Lifeline.
In other words, the matchmaking now is a step in the right direction, but not big enough to make much of a difference.

- @Midnight9746 how can it be a step in the right direction when my kdr is one third of what it used to be? Something is wrong I dont know do they group solo q players against premades more than before?
I don't do ranked. I started playing arenas only. Was pissed when they got rid of that. Mixtape took a bit to adjust, but I play that. BR and LTM play is maybe 2%of my overall play. The matchmaking used is abysmal. If I am in a party, I'm sent into God level PC lobbies, and I am on a switch. Avg final scores for TDM. 8 to 50 and I'm on the losing team with 6 kills. Gun run, I'm lucky to make it to shotguns. Control, final scores avg 52.5% to 100% I'm on the losing team.
My kdr was 2.4. Since S20 dropped, it is now down to 0.9. Thanks in part to game / console crashes, ALC malfunctions, severe server lag, no audio feedback and * poor matchmaking. I'm top dog usually on my team, so not necessarily a skill issue. I'm not god, but I can hold my own.
The cheating is way worse. Reporting just takes away from the game. Only streamers can get someone live banned. Just a gndn feature so the devs can claim They are doing something about the cheats.
Pubs should have better matchmaking. Or, at the very least, made so one has a chance to win a match, rather than being cannon fodder for cheaters and preds. Never get to do a full match like that anyway since everyone quits in disgust. I dare not leave, even if the last man standing, as I get abandoned penalties. So I run around trying to get killed as fast as possible just to end the madness. And my kdr goes to crap.
EA was complaining that their revenues are down. Do they honestly believe this crap will take in the cash? I'm not inclined to spend anything unless they do something to improve the issues of the game that have been posted about for years.
@AldeberaRanked got fully reset so MM on Day 1 was as close to random as we'll ever get. I'd wait at least 2 weeks for the sweats and streamers to clear out before jumping in.
The evo shield & crafting systems need some tweaking. The evo requirements for leveling up just seem off. For example, you need 450 evo to get a blue shield when it was 150 damage before. Basically winning your first 1v1 before got you blue but you have to win a solo 1v3 now to do that. In addition, the harvesters don't get you a blue shield if you drop alone and just loot whereas before if you dropped on a replicator you could get blue armor guaranteed before you rotated out. The balance between damage earned evo and teamwork earned evo is off. I'm OK with the idea, but the point values are out of whack.
The loot pool is also worse and they thought they'd be improving it. They put more things into ground loot (weapons and items that were in the replicator) than they took out (shields). Helmets and optics (already scarce before) are now harder to find. I've gotten to later rings with worse armor (blue or even white) and even white helmets more times in my week of Season 20 than I did for the past month of S19. What's the point of even trying to fight at that point?
Matchmaking is still completely broken and I think it feels worse with all these changes. Your first fight is all or nothing and now lesser skilled or solo queue random teams can't even luck into a shield advantage against the 3 stack they will run into just as often. MM still ignores that you got destroyed for your last 10 to 15 games before it even considers dropping you down a lobby. Just feels bad.
