Re: SBMM is cruel and unfair
You are not slightly above average if you have almost 2 KD and reached master. People fail to understand that the "average" Apex player is someone who just sweeps his mouse left to right randomly in hip fire whenever they get into a fight. Sometimes they get lucky and manage to win the fight and then thinks they are the king of the world but sometimes, they randomly loses to another "average" player who does the same thing with his aim and randomly wins, and they run straight to this forum, complaining that they just got wiped by a "pro" haha =)
And I presume that your friend you wanna play with are quite considerably worse Apex players? I think you have to look at it from another POV. Why should you, a former master player, be allowed to play with your bad premade against bad enemies and stomp them? I guess what I try to say is that it isnt a "unfair SBMM" only because you arent allowed to stomp bad enemies with your equally bad friends. Because we all know that it doesnt take much of a skill difference for a player to be able to 1v3. Now, your premade matches are probably based on the best players matchmaking stats, whatever those are, which kinda make sense.
