SBMM and MMR are lies
There literally can't be skill based match making in Apex or any type of MMR system in place.
I'm a below average player in terms of skill. I have 1.1 K/D overall and most seasons I get 1.0 K/D. I get about 400-600 damage a match. Me "popping off" is when I get 7 kills, around 1,400 damage, and a revive. I've never done 2K damage in one match. My longest win streak in BR is 3. The most kills I've ever gotten was 9. I don't play ranked, only casual BR.
So why, oh why, are my lobbies packed full of master players and apex predators that drop 20 bombs on the reg?
I swear almost everybody I run into is level 500, has the 4K damage badge, 20 bomb, and is at LEAST diamond but usually a predator.
Like I stated previously, I've never even done 2K, these guys probably average that kind of damage.
What sense does that make?
It doesn't matter how poorly I perform, I can die 10 matches in a row without a kill and still be put into a predator lobby.
You wanna know what's worse? I solo queue a lot but still play against sweat stacks. So my teammates frequently leave, are toxic, or some non sense, and aren't as coordinated as the master players that play with each other every day.
"Play ranked"
My Brother is a gold player and still gets put in there with people with diamond and master trails. Watching him play ranked it looks like the exact same thing as casual, except you sometimes get easy kills off players trying to "rat" to rank up. Plus they claim there's SBMM and MMR in casual, I shouldn't have to play ranked for a fair match.
If you still think it isn't that bad, let me give you two more examples of how broken match making is.
My buddy ScoobyDoobyD0nt no offense to him be he's even worse than me, by far.
He's played for 16 hours and only has 4 kills, he rarely does 100 damage, and his only two wins he had no kills, I don't think any damage, and no revives.
Surely you wouldn't think Scooby would see any diamond, master, or predator players right? Wrong, every time we play all those dudes are still filling our lobbies.
0 kills, 0 damage, and no revives in his last 30 matches, that sure sounds like the MMR of a master player right? What's up with this dang game? xD
My other Brother (Not the one that is gold) TorturedTortise he is a little bit better than Scooby, but he doesn't usually play games on controller, so he struggles still.
He usually can get at least 100 damage but usually not much more than that, and he struggles to actually get a kill. He only has 1 win and has played for almost 10 hours.
Yep we still run into Diamonds, Masters, and Predators with 4K damage and the 20 bomb badge.
Next time someone at Respawn claims there's SBMM or MMR know it's a complete lie. Feel free to rub this in their face.
If there actually is MMR or SBMM the system doesn't work, whatsoever, so it might as well not be in the game.
Want my suggestion? In casual put the Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Low Platinums in one queue and put High Plats, Diamonds, Masters, and Predators in another queue. You have plenty of data to work with, hire a decent data analyst and create a good MMR system, figure out who should go into a bum lobby and who should go into the god lobby. To deal with smurfing take their last 1-3 matches very seriously when they're under lvl 50, if they start playing too well throw them to the wolves, if they get eaten by the wolves let them come back to the average joe lobby.
P.S Add new achievements on xbox (off topic but I'm going to keep campaigning for that as well)
