TAKE SBMM OUT OF THE GAME
I’m just one person who doesn’t matter but take skill based match making (SBMM) out of the game, it makes it unplayable and unenjoyable. I can’t play the game with my friends because they torched in ...

@E9ine_ACI’m on Eastern US servers and its just really random I can have a level 2 and 15 on my team and run into a team with 5-6k kils 3-4k kills and one with like 8k kills and Ive had games where the champion had 15-30k+ kills and other games where its my skill level or some level 100 with 50 kills
What I assume to be my ‘’skill level’’ is basically players with 2-2.5k damage, roughly 600-1200 kills, 30-50 wins, etc but I don’t have a main account so my kills are spread out Octane and Wattson have about 1000-1100k kills and then a few legends may have 600 kills and others only have like 200-400
basically 7-8k kills total so I’m fine if I see a player with about 5-10k kills but not when its a 3 stack and I have no chance
@TheApexLegendNub People see those numbers and assume a god walks the lobby. Those are quite low numbers in a game 2 years old with thousands of games under their belts. While they do seem high to most a lot who have those stats also have played most likely since day 1. I have friends with over 100k kills from day 1. So to see someone with only 15 to 30k being as old as they are just shows a good player who puts in more time then others.
On another hand I have friends who do not play as often but also have that amount of kills on a single legend. This does not mean they are not easily killable or unstoppable. A lot preds these days are only pred because the team they pair with. Look at Shiv as a example. He can solo queue to pred while most in the game cannot. They rely on that team which is why most will 3 stack. So that just goes to show their skill level is good but not good enough to get them to pred solo. So a lot these guys are pred because of a team. Which means without that team they are a good player not a god.

@E9ine_ACI know what you mean, I have like 7-8k kills but its only because I’ve played a ton... my actual skill level is much lower lol unless I’m on Gibralter its pretty hard to 1 v 3 but I was lucky this one game and got my first 2k on Gibralter and idk now I got like 6-8 2k badges but the highest damage Ive ever done is only 2300 ish
- @TheApexLegendNub Keep at it! All we can do is keep pushing forward and better our game play. People often say they can't improve that they are at the peak of their abilities. I am living proof that is not the case. I went from 20+ kills games and 5k+ dmg games before my stroke. After my stroke when my reflexes where very bad i went from dropping 500 dmg and 1-2 kills each game. I am now back up to 10+ kills and up to 4k dmg games now. Just takes practice some more then others as ive been practicing since my stroke to get back where i once was.
They (EA) had a patent out for a matchmaking system that keeps players playing longer and spending more money... want to know how it worked? Let them win one game and then make them lose a few in a row...
Ea claims this is NOT how apex matchmaking works; however, that is ALWAYS how it feels playing solo. The game gives you two competent teammates and you roll everyone. Then the next three matches in a row you get the worst players in the game with likely .1/1 KDR and 100 avg dmg. It's night and day. Then a few games of that trash alter you get two competent teammates and roll everyone again... It also seems to give you 1 controller player now. Seems to spread them out 1 to each team. That can also be a big hit to your success now... very few of the controller players can actually do decent damage. Most just run straight at people like it's COD lol.TLDR; it definitely feels like there is some kind of algorithm in place "spreading the talent around."
