@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

  @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.

    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.
