SBMM is ridiculous/matching randoms against pre-made squads, playerbase fallen?
From what i have been told and led to believe is that Random squads ( anyone who ques solo) will not be in the same games as pre-made squads. Which to me was fair, i know some people over on Reddit didn't like it because of it being harder. Well, of course it is, pre-made squads communicating are always going to be tougher games requiring much more strategy. But everyone is on an equal playing field, a higher tier playing field than that of a random squads game, but nonetheless an EQUAL one.
Since this Christmas update i know for a fact I've been getting into games with pre-made squads. I am consistently put with lower level players and i put that down to my level, i understand matching me with 2 really good players wouldn't be fair, and i don't mind that. But when i see my teammates, both below level 20, barely any kills, badges, e.t.c and THEN
''THIS IS YOUR CHAMPION''
Pathfinder: 5091 kills, 114 season 3 wins, 4k damage badge, 100 games with 5 kills or more, (top ranked last match)
wow! he looks pretty good right!
Teammates:
Octane: 1732 kills, 24 season 3 wins, nearly 600k damage done
Wraith: 3032 kills, 94 season 3 wins, just under 1mill damage done.
(copying from a screenshot and can upload if you don't believe me)
There's no way in hell SBMM would be putting those 3 together, and giving last games obviously completely goated champion those 2 teammates. It was a pre-made squad. Also that team killed my random team in game, and i spectated, the way they pushed was as if they knew the lobby was full of random squads.
So why have pre-made and random squads been mixed together is what i want to know? has the player base fallen so much you just have no choice? Can anyone explain what is going on right now because as a solo que player i just can't compete with these pre-made squads. I have never seen a champion squad mix like that EVER, but after the update i'm seeing them ALOT and it's just ridiculous.
