SBMM PLEASE

For the love of everything HOLY TONE DOWN SBMM!!!! I'm solo queue pretty much all the time and even when I'm not I'm just RAILED I'm a level 415 not that I have the skill to back it up I've just been playing since day one and it puts me in lobbies with people going for kills like it's a tournament, hitting EVERY shot with a wingman before I even know where they are. SBMM is and has already ruined this game and the devs legit don't care. They don't even read these forums, I'm talking to myself at this point but I gotta out it out there one way or the other. I should NEVER be placed with those kinda people and my team mates are level 21s, that's a problem in and of itself but it wouldn't matter what level team mates I got it would end the same way. We've been complaining about it for ever, pros, content creators that are LEAGUES above any of us are complaining about it DO SOMETHING!!! And the nuts on you guys to include non meta guns in the battle pass. "10 knocks with the sentinel" are joking? I think it's fun for you guys to just rack in the cash and screw everyone over and not care. I mean it sounds like fun, if I was on the end of the table I'd enjoy it myself however I'm not so DO SOMETHING it's not even fun anymore. You're going to get stomped no matter what. I just wanna get on and casually CASUALLY do my challenges without running into people sweating so hard I can actually taste the salt, you understand? That's not fun. What's the point of pubs and ranked when they are exactly the same, hell sometimes ranked is easier. Get me in touch with a dev, if one of you logs on today and needs a good laugh and decides to get your kicks reading all us giving you things to actually make your game better, bang my line and give me some people who can code and I can get this pile fixed JUST by reading what all of us are doing here, giving feedback. This is insane

    @MrMidnight1990 Unfortunately the game has a very very small player base so you will be put with the sweaty tryhards almost always unless you are in smurf or beginner lobbies. im not even close to that level and as someone who only plays off and on since launch i only have like a 1000 kills to my account but yet im still put in lobbies with people with 10000+ kills. Nothing you can do about it if thats all that are playing at the time. hope they just put out another TF like we all wanted and play Warzone i guess. shrug

    Yup. Either the player base is insanely small and to get 60 players in, it tosses in people way outside your skill level, or the SBMM algo is just agarbage.

    I'm Level 240 right now with about 1000k for 1 character, and I'm constantly dying to players with 4x the kills or Level 500+.  Or players who are level 10 and they move like they're Level 500+ (Smurf accounts). SBMM is pretty laughable.

    @Aegis_Kleais got destroyed in ranked (i was plat 3 at that time few days ago) and decided to spectate the game, and guess what the team who killed me was a Master player with diamond allies. All of the sudden they started fighting similarly as you would see in a tournament and they died, and I was "Hell yeah, finally someone killed these tryhards" and decided to keep spectating to see a probably platinum players that had the skill or luck to kill them, but no, they were a full premade squad of Predators and I was thinking how am I supposed to win such games, they were many times that game being third partied and deleted everyone in their path, nobody stood a chance to them and won that game. That was 1 in many events that I keep seeing while playing ranked, I got somehow to plat 1 then in 1 day back to plat IV being deleted by diamond I or above players. It isn't even fun to play ranked because I know for sure my chances to win are extremely low and if I try to go for kills to climb it still the same. So I decided to play casual games, ranked are impossible.

    Plat ranked will always be a junction for master, diamonds and preds, theres nothing you can do about it because you will always have them against you, the more you fight them, the more you can read their movements and counter them. About SBMM, it is a huge problem, i am a level 420, and i get paired with preds, and sweats ranging from 10k kills to 100k killls every game,  I started being in so many higher tier lobbies that i started appearing in big streamers vods as teammates. When i solo queue, im either paired with 2 level 50's, or a sweaty guy who leaves when he is knocked. Moreover i do not think smurfing is healthy for the player base. People have said to me that they quit playing the game because it is so hard and they die so quickly. All smurfs are doing is accelerating how fast new players will disconnect from the game. There needs to be an adjustment to SBMM to be more realistic, and doesn't just take into account the players level, rather K/D. Its not like apex does not have a huge player base. theres 1 million people playing as we speak, and warzone had 300k people online right now. Theres enough players to make good lobbies, but i think epecially on PC, people are ultra sweaty, every pubs game ends up  being high intensity ranked games. Some days i have 2-5 squads left after round 1, or some days its 10  squads in round  5 like its scrims or something.
