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. ...

I'm a below average player who almost exclusively solo queue nonranked ...but the week I got to play while SBMM was working was a definite improvement in my Apex experience. Both my ADM and KDR where significantly up after a week. Finally got a 2k badge. I vote keep it.
- @Enoax I think SBMM is good for the same reason, but I did something wrong by ‘’getting lucky’’ so now Im stuck at a higher tier than I am able to compete in so looks like Apex Legends is over for me
- @Enoax So you wanted to get your 2k badge and ADM+KDR go up while your skill is the same and you get it without improving. I busted my * to get 2k badge back in the days. Now i have a smurf with 4k badge and 20kills, i enjoy my smurf. Should i say keep the SBMM and stomp on you guys everyday all day?
Quote : 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.@WickXI Your argument is bad. If the people who don't play to your level all go play single players games who are you going to beat up on with your 'smurf'. You will be frustrated again. The noobs will have quit. The people who define success in their life by their Apex Legends kill count will then also quit.
If they undo SBMM this game will be dead for me!
I cant play ranked because its too difficult and I cant play normal mode due to stompers/sealclubbers.
SBMM made the game great for me! Dont take it away!
THANK YOU EA/RESPAWN
- @Flashshark1980 So you didnt read what i wrote, okay. I hope this game will be dead to guys like you. You dont want to improve, you want easy stuff. Meanwhile most of the players want a mixed lobby, not all pros but mixed skills so you can improve, you can team up with them etc.
I started playing in launch, where there was no ranked matches and even then i wasnt getting stomped on this much lol. While i was playing i said okay lets pump it up, watch some streams, watch some guides and there we go i was better already. From 0,2 K/D i was above 1 K/d (i played a lot of matches so that was fckn hard to get). After that i said i want more of this! I downloaded Kovaks aim trainer spent 10 min before matches, okay there we go season 3 start 3K/D. I was like fckkkk I am getting a lot better everydaY!
Then boommm SBMM. It throws me to full Pro gamers, everybody jumps on me.. At this point i said okay i quit, i dont want to play anymore there is no possible way i can improve to a Pro level, i dont have that much time. I check some games, i didnt have fun as i was playing Apex. Then BOOM smurf accounts incoming to get you in your dreams! Now i have fun again but also i feel very sorry to newcommers but not to people like you.
The bad part of the smurf is i dont care about my data, i dont care about improving its just trolling around and killing people like you so i dont improve anymore, i dont have a target to move onto. So it took away all my motivation to improve spend time in the game, get some skins.. no, i just destroy lobbies as much as i can with overpower thats it. Do you get my point?Ok so REALLY you are a 100% sealclubber/ pubstomper who is angry now!
Thanks for revealing your real character!
All titans of the game were noobs too, if they remove SBMM you will be able to win by learning. Just like everyone else had to.
@CLOWNBOGGHonestly SBMM seems harder than it was originally without SBMM tbh it dosnt seem to really be helping alot the matches seemed fine before SBMM was a thing if It didn’t feel ok why would I have kept playing... It probally would of helped in certain matches but other matches were just fine without SBMM
Get a few more 2k badges and see what happens. I'm constantly in pub matches with pred and diamond is impossible
Even in 2021 this is still an issue, I am an of at the game (playing since early 2019) and I took a long break before finally getting back into it recently but I see level 500s left and right like it's the new default and from all the toxic things I see from them as well it makes it truly a challenge to enjoy the game as of right now and with how inconsistent the developers appear with these problems I sadly don't see this changing anytime soon.
