I am going to assume diamond lobbies are pretty empty. I know I stopped playing ranked in diamond because of the constant barrage of predators in every game. If trying to make the climb to diamond I feel for you. Since it is last weekend I am sure there are plenty of preds trying to climb the ranks. Me I just gave up trying diamond. Predator games without the cool badge.

What's happening in ranked is precisely what SBMM will cause in casual too; if you match predators against just diamond, diamonds will simply stop playing.
If you drive away diamond-tier, the burden of playing against predators then falls upon platinum. Repeat.
It's a classic runaway cascade failure scenario, and it's going to cause the death of Apex.
The only solution I believe in, is no match making; that way the burden of the predator population is spread amongst the entire population of the game.
Another less desirable approach would be to reduce the effect of the high skill ceiling weapons, abilities & combat mechanics, and increase the impact of luck dependent aspects.
- @TheJumpingJawa honestly this seasons Predators are just last seasons diamonds, plats and even some gold, with the way everyone is force quitting its so easy to get to pred. I got to diamond the first month where there was a few preds in all my cues climbing through the ranks. I took 2 months off for a new job came back and now there is 18,000 predators, no where near as many last season.
If there was any reason to feel predator isn't worth the grind it is that. I mean you can solo que to predator alone. That's a problem. Also Diamond cue now is 150-200 people in my area around Dallas in the evening. If it takes me a while its probably because im solo queing and getting paired with plats playing with diamonds Another game with another try hard apex pred squad in plat lobbies and you managed to give them a turbo charged devo right off spawn
meanwhile your invite system is the worst system ive ever seen. invites wont work half the time. the fact you have a limit on when you can accept it is just god afwul
Another no footstep audio. Bangalore outside and walked 20 feet inside. The only sound is my drone going off and me reloading my gun. She made it 20 feet and didnt hear a single thing
i honestly don’t mind ranked matches being sweaty, but the SBMM in pubs has been bothering me a lot - i mean, since we already have ranked, what sense does it make to turn casual fun matches into a bloody tryhard sweatfest?
