TAKE SBMM OUT OF THE GAME

I’ve been playing video games for 10+ years so yes I’m fully aware SBMM has been around in multiple games. However, SBMM in apex didn’t used to be this bad until they changed their SBMM system. I’m saying take it out of the game completely because it sucks and makes it miserable for me and 90% of the players that play the game. What’s the point of having an unranked public match mode if it’s skill-based? That’s what ranked is for. My public matches are harder than my ranked games until I hit diamond. Why is that? Because of SBMM. And yes in fact the game does always give me 2 bad teammates because my stats balance theirs out, that’s how it works. Respawn have stated that’s the point to try to “balance” the lobbies but it doesn’t do that at all. I end up playing 3 stacks of sweats every. Single. Game. Which NEVER used to happen before. I’m also fully aware that yes you will have sweats in your lobby regardless of SBMM but the point is that 1/5 games I would play would have a lot of sweats. Now 1/3 of EVERY (emphasis here so you understand the 20% vs 100%) single one of my lobbies are filled with masters and other preds every. Single. Game. You’re gonna tell me that my level 62 teammate with 10 wins is gonna do anything against a triple stack pred team? Absolutely not. I’m also aware of the queue glitch since the fill teammates option was added, so to address that, yes SBMM does affect that as well, if it can’t fill the solo slots it takes high sbmm players and solo queues them, 9/10 of my duos games I don’t end up with a teammate and there is no way that glitch has a 90% consistency rate for everybody. My teammates that I got pred with also have this problem, my friends that play casually and aren’t very good DONT have this problem so there does seem to be a positive correlation between higher SBMM and getting thrown solo into duos games. If myself, and the majority of people I talk to werent having this bad of an experience why would I be here complaining about it in a forum?

Not to be disrespectful towards you in any way but SBMM needs to go, bungie just took it out of Destiny 2’s quick play and it made the pubs so much more enjoyable because you can actually relax and have fun because the entire other team isn’t sweating profusely to win a pub. Same would apply for apex, no SBMM means preds/masters/diamonds/good players are more spread out among lobbies, giving you a lower chance of running into a sweaty 3 stack when you’re trying to just play the game and relax and have fun, like pubs are intended to be.
