Please fix the matchmaking and add a proper SBMM into the game

I should not get matched against predators, constantly. Or masters
ESPECIALLY IN RANKED!

Sure, people get deranked after season splits or beginning of new seasons. But even then, I should not get matched against a person who was an Apex predator, an absolute sweat. If there is any kind of SBMM, then match deranked apex preds with other apex preds and masters. If there is SBMM, match me with people who have the skill of gold, platinum and diamond. 
Like, how does this even happen. IN RANKED!

I play ranked because it's less sweaty than casual, because casual is just nonsense. 0 matchmaking, premade apex preds while I get some low level randoms. And I'm not that good at the game either. I can't carry 2 people in a lobby filled with sweats who play the game 25/7
I play ranked because in there, matchmaking at least works slightly better. But this still happens sometimes
And if SBMM existed, why don't I finally get a low skill lobby? Because I keep getting killed instantly, then it turns out the enemy player is a master rank with 10k kills. Or countless sus aiming occurences, but that's unrelated. So why isn't my skill getting lowered then? Why do I still keep getting these mega tryhard lobbies against former preds and masters? WHERE IS THE SBMM IN THAT????

Seriously, fix the matchmaking already or the game will die. You will only have sweats playing it, and then they will complain how there is no one else because they can't get their free kills on lower skill players. I don't know why proper sbmm that actually works is such a difficult concept to comprehend. And the pure lack of caring for your playerbase actually worries me
Though, I guess your goal was to always cater to twich sweats and pro players. because they promote the game the most, so more people can get to see and potentially play your broken game. More money lets gooo

I feel like a broken record at this point. Please stop with the events. Please stop with the cosmetics. PLEASE reconsider your priorities and focus on fixing the game, rather than new content and cosmetics that just bloat the game, especially the cosmetics, which end up looking similar to each other anyway... 

Please Respawn

  • @F0XYB0IARBLESadly, the developers either think they're actually doing something good (See this Tweet by Eric Hewitt, a Lead Production Manager at EA) - or they know the impact they're having, and just don't care because they're making money.

    I can't think of a believable explanation outside of gross incompetence, or pure disgusting greed.
