I think "Skill based matchmaking" needs to be more skill based. I don't like how I get one win and then I get level 500, Apex predators, 20 bomb badge, 4k damage badge, 20,000 kill players while I'm ...
@killerj2389 No offense but you OCCASIONALLY running into a Pred team is not as bad as me ONLY playing pred teams (lobbies consisting of 80%+ pred/masters).
I hear your concern though. If you are a new player you should absolutely be protected from more experienced players. But after a certain experience level, there is nothing wrong with you occasionally running into a higher skilled player in pubs.
@Axs5626Sxa5001 EA's SBBM isn't skill based at all. It is designed so that you lose consistently by pairing you with lower level teammates or putting you in massively sweat lobbies when you do well. EA released a study that determined that this was the most effective way to ensure player retention. Random matchmaking is the second most effective way, but EA was so insecure and greedy that they went with this way instead, making solo queing and pub games incredibly sweaty and irritating.
