Skill based Matchmaking

Any other less skilled players getting matched against God tier players?

I have 2k kills LIFETIME (entire time playing) where as I'm getting paired against people with 14k kills on one character. I strongly believe smurf accounts are partially to blame for the failing of SBMM, like how can you have SBMM working fairly when level 20s are really level 500 preds with 5 smurf accounts just to dunk on new or low skilled players such as myself.

  • @pandemicraw im on the other side, but please do something, game is just unplayable if u play solo normals, im lvl 500 Diamond in season 4/5/6/7 sometimes i just wanna play chill normal games and not ranked, but i constantly get lvl 1-30 teammates that are playing like bots,i mean i understand people just started and they are bad, but its impossible for me to have fun playing with them, not to mention that our enemy`s are not lvl 30, so we just land, both of my teammates die in a second dealing 0-100 damage and leave. Just make a Newbie lobby`s + 2FA as phone number that cant be changed for like 2 weeks, many competitive games are using this systems. Less cheaters, better matchmaking, smurfs cant be constantly created because of the time limit.

    SBMM is badly optimized/balanced in this game. But Respawn believe it is more or less fine.

    You just described my experience as well. 2,000 career kills and always playing MLG sweat lord predators in almost all my matches. They usually have 15k to 35k kills on wraith, it's always wraith. I do not enjoy getting destroyed by people way better than me every match. It is not fun. I am not on their skill level, so why am I always playing them?

  • I'm hoping they will eventually see the forum posts from both ends, the super sweat lords who are constantly paired with low skilled potatoes and for the low skilled potatoes being paired against the super sweat lords and decide they need to do something about it

  • @pandemicraw It's all fun and games until you get squad wiped by a single player who's like level 10-30, 4k badge, 20 kill badge, 2k+ kills, etc. I'm a level 500 player with the most of 3k on Wraith, but even I am not a pro, and the game gives me a bunch of smurphs and preds to deal with.
  • MM has absolutley turned arroun for me now...

    There is absolutely NO adjustment happening!

    Get killd without doing dmage 10-20 times no esier matches!

    Oponents are just 1000000000% better than me!

    Please use a  K/D based sytem and a daily Win/loss system.

    Evry single time you loose you get easier rank.

    you get ran ked with same K/D players.

    like:

    0,2 K/D to 0,4 K/D with 0-20%loss = one group

    0,2 K/D to 0,4 K/D with 20-40%loss one group

    0,4 K/D to 0,6 K/D wirh 0-20% loss one group

    witing times may go up to 120 seconds if youa sk me, i just want a match that In can really win.

    and I want to win 5 time per evening at least!

    "and I want to win 5 time per evening at least!"

    Then you shouldnt play BR. You are asking to win at least 5 times every evening...  Well, ofc, it depends on how many games you play every evening but lets not nitpick on words here; lets say "5 wins per evening" is comparable to winning 1/3 of your matches, i.e. 15 matches in total (more than I play every evening but whatever)..


    Now consider that this isnt a game with ONE winner and ONE loser, like other 1v1 or 5v5 pvps .  In this game, you would theoretically only have have 1/20 = 5% chance of winning if your lobby always was filled with 59 clones of you, i.e. 59 players EXACTLY as good as you. So with a SBMM that creates lobbies of  60exactly equally skilled players, you would only have 5%of winning .. and you want a winning rate 33%.

    So no offense, but once again; and I have said this 1000 times, what you are asking for is really a SBMM that allows you to play with generally most worse players than you.. And it ofc impossible to design a SBMM that allows this for every players, at every skill level.. 

    Bottom line is that the only way to increase your winrate is to play, die and improve over and over, and gradually climb the ladder.
