Skill Based Matchmaking Ruins Apex Legends

Skill based matchmaking (SBMM) is by far the biggest problem Apex Legends has because it impacts players experience greatly. There's no point in having SBMM in public matches because there are Ranked Leagues in the game and description is literally "compete against players with the same level of skill" so why is there SBMM in public matches? My answer is probably because developers care more about new and noob players and want to make a good experience for them instead of players who have played this game for 6+ months. SBMM is frustrating when AVERAGE players want to play and relax after a hard day and have to go against top 1% of players and because of this bad experience which happens every match players move to a fun multiplayer game with a logical matchmaking system so at the end of the day Apex has lost PASSIONATE players to please new and bad players. 

I absolutely love apex and have been playing since its release but seeing that I can't get solo queue into a public match just to have FUN bothers me and I believe in the long run would make Apex lose to its rivals.

    If thats how the MM is going to be, then Solos needs to be implemented but sadly the game is managed by clowns so this wont be added.

    @ILikeGlueHmm A solos limited time mode would be fantastic but no one can deny that Apex is a team based game and a good matchmaking system would solve the problem.

    @ILikeGlueHmm Solos "ruins the game experience", meanwhile this sort of thing is what's actually ruining it. The true taste of solo was from the Halloween event. Of course that ruined the fun, it was annoying being constantly dropped on by shadows.
