There is no SBMM in this game. When I joined a ranked match today, the champion squad's Pathfinder greeted me with a 20-kill and 4k damage badge. I thought, "Well, that's just great." I'm in Bronze rank – I'm not entirely sure if it's Bronze IV, but I think it doesn't matter at this point. If there were SBMM, this wouldn't happen. If there were functioning SBMM, everyone's KD ratio would converge toward 1. If someone has a KD of 4-5 or even higher, they are simply not playing in the appropriate lobby. Look at the ALGS – no one deals 4000 damage, not even 2000, and we won't even mention 10-20 kills. Why? Because everyone there is of the same or roughly the same skill level.
The fact that I, in Bronze rank, have to compete against Diamond or higher-level players in ranked is quite discouraging. I have no chance, and that is already determined the moment I jump from the dropship. Don't expect me to spend money on this, but at this rate, I think I won’t even waste my time on this thing anymore...
The Devs have admitted to having sbmm in the game and they have a patent for eomm
