@f0rtn1t3-pl4y3r I get you, I just won't do it myself, I'd more likely just quit the game before smurfing. It's clear SBMM affects the solo player more than the pre-made teams, Apex just isn't the game for people wanting a good solo experience.

All I see are 2 categories:

Below average to complete bot.

or...

Above-average to pro.

Your either getting mixed in with one or the other. You make a smurf, and you destroy people in that low category until you finally get put into the other one. Then you smurf again, Rinse and repeat.

There is no ''fair matchmaking right now'' for the 'above average/good player (but not insane). Your only options right now are flex on people or get flexed on. So, I completely understand your point of view as to why you're smurfing.

Pretty good summary. 

But why shouldn't the game be enjoyable for solo players?

They need to fix autofill and they need to soften up this SBMM, otherwise the only way to enjoy solo queuing will be in custom game modes like Winter Express.

Like * me, not half the lobby need to be diamond players just because I have a 2+ kdr. It just isn't a fun experience.
