SBMM is ruining my friendships and killing the game

I'm gonna start off by saying this as it's the most important thing about why SBMM is so broken in this game; my friends are not of equal skill to me. I play with people who are not as good as I am. I know it and they know it. But the game seems to think just because we are trio queuing we should be forced to play in games with full teams from diamond or predator and not only can I not carry any of these fights but they are forced to die in almost every 1v1 they get into, god forbid they have to 2v1. I don't understand wtf you think they're suppose to be doing in these games. They literally only play to play with me while suffering through some of the most * matchmaking I ever seen. Now, the point of this post isn't the help you save the game for us as it's far beyond that at this point, we're all literally just waiting for other games to come out to ditch this garbage. The point is to make you feel bad for being so bad at game development and ruining something amazing.

  • I stopped climbing in ranked to play with my friends in silver/gold literally cause those games are easier than non-ranked. Imagine having to play a ranked mode to play the game casually. Tell me this game is not being handled by chimpanzees.

  • You do realize that if majority of games your friends are loosing because they are bad and that you are asking a company that made the game to adjust the player base to your squad and you think that is SBMM issue

    the majority of players in the game are bad. Removing SBMM would prove to create more balanced games than their current iteration of it. SBMM currently puts us in games with 0 "bad" players and all trio queues. There is noone they can go up to and not have a hard time fighting against. There needs to be a mix of player skill levels in every game or it needs to take into account that my friends aren't the same skill level as me and stop forcing them into * up games just cause they want to play with me.

  • @xSagez so what happens when there are no squads with in your skill range that are playing as 3

    @Sarrgeras Not everyone in the match has to be a trio queue. Even 3 random good players would make for fairer matches than a premade of 3 good players.
