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.

    @Balladalidila except you only play against cheaters and 3 stacks , how is it fair ? SBMM should never exist in fps since their anti cheat never work.

    Why he should be able to play against worse players? Ehm because its a CASUAL playlist? For fun. 
    if a player wants to play against players on his level there is the RANKED list. 
    my average rank is diamond. Why am I forced to play against masters and preds in public?? I can argue with the same logic but its pure BS. 

    In a casual public playlist the matchmaker should match ALL people on the sever. NO FILTER. 

    For SKILLBASED matchmaking there is a Ranked playlist 😂 

    whats the point in the ranked playlist when I also have to play against against people on my level and above also in casual ??? 
    there is no point. It’s just a betrayal on the playerbase.

    "Betrayal on the playerbase" is so beautifully said. Its nice to see I am not the only one who just wants to casually play but cant because of the way apex does matchmaking

    I honestly wish it stopped putting me with duo teams. I do NOT want to play with two others who are in a Discord call who spends the whole match fully ignoring their 3rd, and right now, I'm trying to enjoy the Inner event, and I keep getting duos who do not want to do the hunt. They just run off to play duos, which at that point, why are they not just going directly into duos? Why do they INSIST on ruining trios?

    Well, you either intentionally or unintentionally misunderstands. 


    No no, I understand you very well. 
    but there is no logic. 
    by your logic the Rank 1 Pred player should NOT be allowed to play public. 
    Since anyone else is worse than him he automatically „stomps“ worse players. 

    exlain me 1 thing. 
    WHY are there 2 Playlists? 
    a ranked one and a casual one? 
    When you play in BOTH playlists against players on your skill/above your skill. 

    i am diamond and over 80% of the playerbase is FILTERED by matchmaker in a CASUAL playlist. 

    When a bronze-plat player dont want to play against higher ranked players then just play ranked???
