Re: SBMM KILLED APEX

@EerieV  Yeah..that blows...especially for the amount of time you put into the game.

@VoKks9 

If someone feels the need to create a smurf account every time they hit their "peak ability", they either have an addiction to stomping lower level players because of noticeably high testosterone levels or they're addicted and need to seek help immediately. I suggest two types of medication; estrogen and  get a life...both in pill form of course.

    but yeah lets just castrate every man while we are at it, right?

    If someone doesn't feel the need to create a smurf account every time they hit their "peak ability", they either don't care about getting trashed every game (but thats fun tho isn't it?)  because of noticeably high estrogen levels or they're addicted to losing and need to seek help immediately. I suggest two types of medication;

    a testosterone needle to the butt and splitting wood with an axe in a lumberjack shirt for 2 hours everday.

    PS: Thank you so much for your suggestion, we are going to consider it.

    you should also include beating  your chest after each and every fatal slash of your axe. At least the other logs will know who's boss.

    @jumanjaydazed Except people wouldn't smurf if SBMM wasn't so messed up. SBMM isn't matching people of the same skill level, it's matching players like myself into lobbies with people twice the skill level. Maybe if it actually matched players with an equal skill they wouldn't smurf. I don't smurf myself, but I'm sympathetic as to why people do it, but I agree that smurfing to stomp low levels is sad. That being said, everyone should get used to it, It's only going to increase.

    No, I think we should include painting nails and trying out dresses. As everyone knows that is how humanity got as far as it did, by women painting their nails while the men just sat around and created smurfs for apex legends.

    You know, while we are at it, I think we should include posting man hating * on gaming forums instead of valid criticism amongst the list of your suggestions, yeah?

    You know whats sad? When a game has obvious design issues and people talk about it and then some man hating goblin enters the room and rants against testosterone and people not wanting to get * on in a competetive online game repeatedly.

    You know whats also sad? That normal queues are not enjoyable anymore whatsoever, particularly when you solo. On one hand, the lobby is full of tryharding high skill stacks, on the other hand half the lobby is dead by the 3 minute mark because they "hotdropped" and "just wanted to have fun".

    And somehow it is supposed to be appropiate to autofill your team with bronze4 or sub lvl 50 players against said predator tryhard stacks.

    Yeah, great times. So much fun to play this game if you don't bring your high skill teammates along. SBMM is trash and I will continue to smurf in ranked because it is the only enjoyment I can get out of the game right now as someone who plays solo most of the time.

    What's sad is the thought that someone would take it seriously and as if their manhood was being somewhat threatened. I guess you win👍

    @f0rtn1t3-pl4y3r I get you, I just won't do it myself, I'd more likely just quit the game before smurfing. It's clear SBMM affects the solo player more than the pre-made teams, Apex just isn't the game for people wanting a good solo experience.

    All I see are 2 categories:

    Below average to complete bot.

    or...

    Above-average to pro.

    Your either getting mixed in with one or the other. You make a smurf, and you destroy people in that low category until you finally get put into the other one. Then you smurf again, Rinse and repeat.

    There is no ''fair matchmaking right now'' for the 'above average/good player (but not insane). Your only options right now are flex on people or get flexed on. So, I completely understand your point of view as to why you're smurfing.

    Pretty good summary. 

    But why shouldn't the game be enjoyable for solo players?

    They need to fix autofill and they need to soften up this SBMM, otherwise the only way to enjoy solo queuing will be in custom game modes like Winter Express.

    Like * me, not half the lobby need to be diamond players just because I have a 2+ kdr. It just isn't a fun experience.

    @jumanjaydazed ''as if their manhood was being somewhat threatened''.

    How did you arrive at that idea? You have to be trolling right? Because anytime a male takes anything seriously it's always because ''it's almost as if their manhood is being somewhat threatened'' right?

    If you have something against men, then there's plenty of feministic forums with tonnes of people you can vent too. Much less testosterone too! :D
  • @VoKks9 

    Did you bother to read?

    The only thing I said was estrogen, he replied, I replied. Easy. Because I said estrogen he figures I'm a woman and goes off.

    ~~> No, I think we should include painting nails and trying out dresses. As everyone knows that is how humanity got as far as it did, by women painting their nails while the men just sat around and created smurfs for apex legends.

    So, before you feel the need to step in and defend your boyfriend, read into it a bit more.

    @PurisMarts 

    Yeah, shut the * up you noob. Maybe for bronze 4 players. For everyone else it didn't and we already said why.

    It completely ruined solo-qeueing and it turned normal games into unfun shitshows.

    Ranked right now is the only good thing about Apex and the only thing that improved over Season 2.

    Hey all, when posting on AHQ we would ask that you do so in a polite and constructive manner.
