I have been playing this game for like 6 months and really enjoyed it until the garbage skill based matchmaking came into play, I now want to throw my PS4 out the window every time I play.. why does every online game start out fun and then they put out a garbage update that makes anyone who’s good at the game end up hating the game they originally loved.

My friends don’t like playing with me now bc I get put in pred lobbies which makes me not want to play because randoms can be very unreliable and often leave the moment they’re downed. My new saying. 10000 kills and I’m still a bot. Sad sad sad. Please respawn/EA stop this madness and make the game like it was back in season 1 and 2. #imisskingscanyon

Thats because they don't give a *, they claim SBMM works because they see more accounts, (these are really smurfs). I HOPE they read this, cause people create smurf accounts to avoid this *. Case in point look at Overwatch, same * they do. Guys can't even get this game to stop crashing, yet they give us new map, skins, try to change what was already a great META but can't fix common crashes. Ya guys lets come one lets play pubs against the same skilled or higher. That sounds like fun. The problem is even pros have addressed the SBMM and what has respawn said "oh wait that's right nada damn thing." This game is choc full of simple logic errors. Case in point, WRAITH can't take damage because shes in another dimension, yet the lava hurts her, doors stop her but hey, she can take a zipline. Really thats laughable.

@FaIIenAngeI777 Getting noob stomped is a right of passage, if the snowflakes can't handle it maybe they should go play pokemon, IN no world is SBMM a good thing. Just look at the number of pros pissed

i’m an average joe sitting in platinum and all i gotta say is that for me playing ranked is actually easier than pubs

@FaIIenAngeI777 For me public matches are fun because of the randomness, I was garbage at the game at first and playing with good and bad players taught me what to do and what not to do. If I wanted to play with the same skill base I’d play ranked for me have different skilled people in a game makes it interesting. I’ve just had this problem with so many games I’ve loved where they mess with what made people originally have fun with them. Why even have ranked if public is now basically ranked.

Pub skill based matchmaking is garbage

@DirtybuungHonestly Im trying to find out if SBMM is still a thing, Ive been seeing pros and nubs alot lately and I watched one of Zeus’s Videos where he played with a level 1 lifeline who didn’t even know how to use their healing drone the whole match and hes around Rank 500 in Predator Ranked so why would he be matched with a brand new clueless player, the game was on pubs not ranked but regardless that dosn’t sound like skill based matchmaking to me if zeus is a god most games with someone who is experiencing it for the first time

@R3aper1212Honestly aslong as people keep making smurfs and streamers keep making videos nothings going to change unless everyone goes on strike, but I do agree we do need a form of SBMM I never play ranked so i just trashed some silver lobby lol nobody really knows how to play end game yet, Im just a trash player that gets lucky tbh I know the strategys and movements from experience and streamers but when it comes to aim its all luck I either hit or miss
