Re: Lets Talk About 'Skill-Based Matchmaking'?

i consider myself a bot, im 30 something years aold and this is the first game i have ever played on a pc. i did play playstation growing up but that was a long time ago and i wasnt good at that either!!!

i was enjoying apex alot until the new sbmm arrived. as a player that this is supposed to help, i can assure you it is not! 

i had 30 wins season 3 pre update and 1, maybe 2 since and that was dumb luck

if i want to play against ever hardening players then i will go to a ranked lobby, it is after all exactly what it supposed to be.

note: i am well and truly stuck at gold 3. (just reasserting the fact that i am not a pro player) 

please if someone from apex follows these threads count my vote AGAINST the new match making robots

    Idk how tf SBMM determines ‘’skill’’ but its gotta be so BROKEN the games today are even worse than last night I mean I atleast got 500 damage on the one match i did instead of 50-200 like last night but the players all have 50-250 season 3 wins trackers... (I’ve got that many wine myself (IN THE WINTER EXPRESS MODE NOT PUBS) so I decides to go to pubs to get the 20k damage L Star and its just impossible to play now

    if its not based off of wins is it based off of level.... Im level 171 now almost 172 because the EVENT awards so much xp like 7-12k a match and an ungodly ammount of battlepass xp 200k+ (I Don’t Need)

    My K/D has gotta be one of the worst in apex so it sure as hell can’t be based off of K/D mines not even 1+ lmfao

    Well i just looked at Season 3 Meltdown Tab and I do have 48 Season 3 wins total, but the players in pubs are impossible for me there aim just snaps on instantly even if I shoot first... its more of a run tf away and try to heal game no

    EDIT: Literally the best game Ive done was punching and kicking the sh*t out of people for 400 damage... gun fights are just impossible now any mistake your dead

    @FaIIenAngeI777 Now you are in my world :D My kd was around 3 before duos, now its 1,62 and on freefall.But something hapened after the event launch, i was having decent matches and getting some wins. After a few hours, boom i was back in my 60k kill player pool. When i want to start a normal match, i wait 1-2 min because it doesnt want me to be in general player base lol.

    Now i am back to smurf account so i am not paying EA 1 dime at this event like the last one. And i will not pay anything until this * show is fixed.If you want my money, put me in my own skill base lobbies or remove the complete SBMM.
  • @WickXII only seem to do good with a R-99 tbh lately its like one of the few weapon Im pretty good at fighting the recoil on because its the only weapon i use alot really I barely won a game just now with 4 kills and 724 damage but that was with a gold shield for fast heals near the end I barely survived so popped a quick phoenix but it was so messed up my teammate and enemy had the same skin and i was confused af and got knocked lol but my teammate finished the last kill so all good thats the only decent ‘’my sklll level game’’ Ive had in awhile most of the time there way above my league now but I was also listening and pretty much knew where everyone was, and was geared up early game is where I keep dying, my K/D is so bad I die way more than i kill lmao its like 0.32 or some crap i get a game every now and then where i get 5-10 kills but usually 1-3 or 0 lol it says I got 1,623 kills and 4,994 deaths lmao but alot of those death are trolling people and messing around aswell Ive never cared about my K/D so I do stupid plays sometimes, they either work and are awesome or a total flop then rip lol when they do work its awesome though

    @FaIIenAngeI777 My K/d is only this high because 1-2 days a week my squad can be online and we play sweaty games in normal lobbies.If i play only by myself it will be below 1 as well with this system which i dont think i deserve.
  • @WickXIIve always played with randoms so thats another factor aswell I died alot trying to help them or following them to dumb plays into my death but thats vise versa they die alot helping me too its part of the game lol

    @FaIIenAngeI777 It's now Feb 2020 and I still have the exact same problems and I've played way less than you but my K/D is similar around 0.5 and I get in TTV lobbies with 10000+ kill trackers
