Sbmm is broken

I understand not wanting to scare off new players by feeding them to the wolves immediately, but the sbmm algorithm you guys have implemented is absolutely terrible. It's made the game a sweat fest o...

    You dont know if anything was broken or not. They have the data on player retention and decided SBMM would improve things.

    Thanks, I hate it.

    The autofilling is not matching the SBMM, so unless you queue with a team, the experience is rather horrible.

    To add, IDK if this is the case at any skill level, but if you are diamond and above, half the lobby will be dead within 3 minutes in each normal game.

    So you get a huge roomy map, a bunch of sweaters and a half empty server within minutes. So unless you hotdropped you will have like 0 encounters and if you do its some tryhard stack not taking any risks and playing like its a scrim.

    Yeah, uhhh... great.

      WOW. ive just started to play AL again after season 2. Im trying to have some "fun" since the event start, but the f* up sbmm doesn't let me. Most of the time i have to play alone. Don't know how this BS in Apex works and i don't want to know it either because respawn wont reverse it. I dont get it why ppl are still complaining and begging the devs to reverse it. SBMM/ELO and what this crap is called is the new gaming "future".

      New players/noobs/bots those are potential new cash cows. Look at CODMW or better: Rainbow Six Siege. Playing it since release on ps4 and pc and this game is still one of the most played game with new players but like SBMM, Elo is broken.

      And if you got a good round the trash servers are doing their job. Just got a disconnect while fighting against a squad...last squad. Server shutting down/disconnect from ea server, code:wheel etc. blabla. Only on PC i guess? Dont want to go into details about the rest because plenty of players here already did it. If i had known that, i never would have spent money on this game.

      First BF5 now Apex Legends. The devs under EAs control doing their best to please new players and * on us.
