Re: SBMM PLEASE

@Aegis_Kleais got destroyed in ranked (i was plat 3 at that time few days ago) and decided to spectate the game, and guess what the team who killed me was a Master player with diamond allies. All of the sudden they started fighting similarly as you would see in a tournament and they died, and I was "Hell yeah, finally someone killed these tryhards" and decided to keep spectating to see a probably platinum players that had the skill or luck to kill them, but no, they were a full premade squad of Predators and I was thinking how am I supposed to win such games, they were many times that game being third partied and deleted everyone in their path, nobody stood a chance to them and won that game. That was 1 in many events that I keep seeing while playing ranked, I got somehow to plat 1 then in 1 day back to plat IV being deleted by diamond I or above players. It isn't even fun to play ranked because I know for sure my chances to win are extremely low and if I try to go for kills to climb it still the same. So I decided to play casual games, ranked are impossible.

Plat ranked will always be a junction for master, diamonds and preds, theres nothing you can do about it because you will always have them against you, the more you fight them, the more you can read their movements and counter them. About SBMM, it is a huge problem, i am a level 420, and i get paired with preds, and sweats ranging from 10k kills to 100k killls every game, I started being in so many higher tier lobbies that i started appearing in big streamers vods as teammates. When i solo queue, im either paired with 2 level 50's, or a sweaty guy who leaves when he is knocked. Moreover i do not think smurfing is healthy for the player base. People have said to me that they quit playing the game because it is so hard and they die so quickly. All smurfs are doing is accelerating how fast new players will disconnect from the game. There needs to be an adjustment to SBMM to be more realistic, and doesn't just take into account the players level, rather K/D. Its not like apex does not have a huge player base. theres 1 million people playing as we speak, and warzone had 300k people online right now. Theres enough players to make good lobbies, but i think epecially on PC, people are ultra sweaty, every pubs game ends up being high intensity ranked games. Some days i have 2-5 squads left after round 1, or some days its 10 squads in round 5 like its scrims or something.
