Skill Based Matchmaking to be fixed
This isn’t really a question but rather a request. And this on behalf of the Apex Playerbase. Skill Based Matchmaking is ruining Apex Legends. What is supposed to be “fair” is the absolute opposite. ...

Sorry but ranked seems to me much much harder than random.
A lot of squads in ranked are premade and they use headsets + discord.
So far I got silver level 4 and I don't want to play ranked any longer...
I get together with silver level 1 players (3 levels higher in my own squad! WHY?) that tell me I need to go discord...
No thanks!
Ranked for me does not show my skill level!
Your concentration, your muscleresponse, your reflexes change every day!
If you had worked long and just wanna have an easy match you can't play ranked on your ranked level.
And ranked level can be achieved by grinding, surviving without kills and just getting points for the placements.
SBMM evaluates your dayly fitness and gives you good matches according to your current skill level.
Thats why I think it is more fun now.
@Flashshark1980 Hi, first of all not many people in silver bracket really plays with squads. Silver isnt try hard bracket. There is literally no skill difference between silver1 and silver 4. The problem you are encountering in ranked mode is smurf accounts and guess why guys like me are ruining your ranked games? Because of SBMM. I cant play my main account so i log into my smurf and destroy your game, i know its not fair but i cant play my main account. Its just impossible.
Sbmm Doesnt evaluate my daily fitness whatsoever. It just throws me to PRO public matches where i encounter 60k kill guys, so its just unplayable and i am not a pro. I have 1,6kd which is low for average people. The guys i get matched with have 5+ K/D i cant compete with them, i dont have that much skill for sure.
When i started playing this game as a basic noob ( i didnt play FPS games for 12 years ) some days my lobby was well noob friendly, sometimes a huge streamer kills me and i think omg that guy is insane, lets watch him a bit. I learn couple of tricks, check his stream laugh at how i was killed and move on. Sometimes i got in the same team with those guys and they gave me some tips, so i improved a lot in a short period of time. Thats only because i got to play with them, watch their moves check the stream see what i did stupid to die to him.
Now, you get thrown into full 0,5 kd players and you have nothing to learn. You jump around, you get killed, you get some kills thats it. Its gonna be like that for a big time for you. If you dont want to improve at the game (which was me for a while) i stuck with some good campaign non multiplayer games.
Another problem is for example you got really lucky, had 10+ kills somehow or won 3 games in a row... Then welcome to predators and you get matched to me as a teammate and i see you dont do anything usefull and i become toxic because even i cant handle that lobby and you with me makes me frustrated. Because i am doomed to get destroyed every single match.

@WickXIIm that player that got lucky and now im useless af and the games unplayable and then everyone trash talks to me... so now mic just stays muted ‘’great job you did nothing this match’’ (I was knocked, had self revive Then I revived, got shot at so i used mirages cloak and ran (ring was also closing) then i healed up and teammates both died in the ring and it was final 3 and they really expect me to win it when everyones way above my skill level ._. and that full squad that shot at me when i self resed was chasing me in the process
- @FaIIenAngeI777 Well, i resolved the issue. Now i created a smurf, stomping on people. Once it gets to higher lobbies as my original account, i will create another one. I will make a cycle like this and i dont care also i will not give Respan/EA 1 cent. If they look at my main i spent 600euro until this happened. If they somehow check the playtime and payments they can easily see i am not playing and i am not paying for sure. If they keep SBMM they will loose a lot and they will not achieve anything because of the smurfs, people are gonna get stomped even more!
- @WickXI I may end up doing the same, I don’t have 2k,4k,20 kill badges but im stuck in lobbies I don’t belong in with these types of players So I might aswell make a smurf account not necessarily for killing noobs but to practice on with mouse and keyboard, because Ive always played pc with a controller but theres no way in hell to even attempt to practice mouse and keyboard in these lobbies the games unplayable as it is with a controller Im used to playing with
- @FaIIenAngeI777 Thats the best solution for now, meanwhile dont spend money just practice and if you see a smurf watch them a bit. I suggest you to watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFa9iS4anWg and the part 2. I have nothing against ppl who wants to improve, but i become really toxic to people like Flash. So if you have any q s about the game or if you seek more decent guides, send me a pm 😉
