SBMM - RIP Apex
I’m an average player who won now and then, for every bad game, I’d get a good one. Now every game is just really hard and not fun any more. I play ranked if I want a consistently challenging experie...

I still would like to know how the SBMM works!
Some say hit-accuracy, K/D ratio and wins are taken into account.
But this is all speculation!
Especiallly the flexebility off the MM would be interresting.
If I play 5 bad matches in a row, will I get easier matches, or do I need much more matches to change my SB-rank?
It always feels to me, that the first matches on a new day are pretty easy....
I get my first win of the day pretty often in match 1-3 of the day!
EA/Reaspawn please give us more transparancy here!
I would guess that they are continuously tweaking the SBMM to find a good balance. That seems to be their general method; i.e. to implement something new directly to the live servers with minimum prior testing and then just "see how it goes and adjust accordingly". Other example of this: Distributor rounds and the Charge rifle that both were incredibly broken when first released. But to my experience, it seems like the SBMM is based "fresh stats" i.e. it seems to go after your recent games and not your lifetime kills etc.And Respawn and transparency?? Haha they dont know what PR is to be honest. Compare this to how Riot games and Bluehole work. Every patch they go through in detail exactly what and why they have done. Respawn just do stuff and hope it will work =)
Yes, you are probably right. It does seem slightly better since the Christmas update (or maybe this is my imagination!). I can see the logic in SBMM but think there should also be a random pubs option.
- @Babbediboopi This can’t be true about recent game because I’ve lost my past (what it seems to be) 50 games and nothing has changed I’m still going against the same people every game and losing more and more games because everybody is my lobby is either as good as me or better than me!
Yeah, I dont honestly have a clue how this SBMM works right now. When they first introduced the SBMM, all my matches were totally stacked but so were my teammates. They almost always had3000 + kills, and 3k dmg badges just like me etc. But recently, my team mates are ALWAYS considerably worse than me and the usually have around 2-300 kills and never high dmg badges (not that stats and badges always means that you are good but its a clear difference this past days compared to before).
