SBMM and the average to below average player

The SBMM in Apex is the single biggest issue with this game, followed closely by the spotty positional audio. After getting banned for a rant against SBMM that violated the terms here, I started tra...

@Littumulkero I'm actually OK with the win rate. All other things equal, you should win around 5% of the time in Trios. Mine is a little below that so it is in line given that I am not the best and I solo queue most of the time.

What I do have an issue with is how I get killed the remaining 95% of the time. Usually I die so fast I barely have time to react or I die to someone with godlike movement, perfect aim, and full knowledge of where I am at all times. Those happen about 75% of the time and when it happens 10 times in a row, I want to scream at my computer.

I agree that there is a lot of frustration going around with MM (this game and many others). Since there is so much money involved I assume we will never know how the system really works. It might be possible that this current system is making more money than any other this far.

I was stating that winrate has to be one factor also. If players never ever win then why even play? Thats why there are those games what you have described (2 god like team mates who just stomp all and gg there is your win). Might be hard to admit but win is a win..right? =)

Something should be done. I think it is really not good for game to have even this much debate about matchmaking. Smurfing is the worst. That should be the first thing to tackle. There is so much going on in this game and so damn many variables that producing rock solid matchmaking in pubs must be pain.

Cheers. Lets see in the outlands and keep improving!
