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 my lobbies. My ranked games are easier than public trios/duos matches. Your skill based system is so flawed I can’t even begin to describe how stupid it is. I’m not sure whose idea it was to put it in the game but I can assure you NOBODY LIKES IT. I am a predator so naturally my teammates ALWAYS SUCK BECAUSE YOUR SBMM IS SO BACKWARDS. I am playing 3 stacks of kids who are playing public matches like it’s a World Cup final and my teammates are absolutely terrible just because my stats are good?? Now I’m 1v3 in every single game I play because my teammates are horrible and output 0 damage because the other teams in my lobbies are SWEATING BECAUSE IM IN THE HIGHEST SBMM?? IF I WANTED TO PLAY RANKED I WOULD GO PLAY RANKED BUT I WANT TO RELAX IN PUBLIC MATCHES AND HAVE FUN. I CANT EVEN PLAY THE DAMN GAME BECAUSE I HAVE NO HELP OFF THE DROP AND MY TEAMMATES ALWAYS SUCK BECAUSE OF YOUR BROKEN AND BACKWARDS SBMM SYSTEM. I just want to play the game and I can’t do that because I land and die, then I land and die, then I land and die, and if I don’t die it’s because I’m trying my * off and I got lucky with my loot. I PLAY PUBLIC MATCHES TO RELAX AND HAVE FUN AND I CANT, MY RANKED LOBBIES ARE EASIER THAN PUBS, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?! WHY DO YOU HAVE RANKED WHICH IS A SKILL BASED SYSTEM IN ITSELF AND THEN PUBS WITH SBMM WHICH IS LITERALLY THE PURPOSE OF RANKED, IT MAKES RANKED EASIER THAN PUBS UNTIL YOU HIT DIAMOND LIKE WHAT THE * KIND OF BACKWARDS * IS THAT?? Who’s idea was that??? SBMM does absolutely nothing for the game and it doesn’t benefit new players at all especially in the most important category which is GETTING BETTER AT THE GAME SO YOU CAN GET MORE KILLS AND HAVE FUN BUT YOU CANT DO THAT IF YOUR LOBBIES GET INCREASINGLY HARDER AND HARDER LIKE WHY WOULD I WANT PUBLIC MATCHES TO BE HARD?? OH WAIT I DONT; if someone is new to the game then they should get destroyed just like everyone else who was new to the game at some point, you literally cannot get better by playing people that also suck. It is backwards thinking and I can’t believe nobody comprehended this beforehand. I don’t know whose fun idea SBMM was, but they need to be fired or demoted ASAP because it’s ruining the game and the MAJORITY OF YOUR PLAYER BASE WOULD AGREE. I joined the game two weeks after release (before SBMM was added mind you) and I used to have so much fun playing it until you added SBMM into the public matches. I never had one single issue getting * on back then because I was NEW TO THE GAME AND THATS WHATS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN SO YOU CAN GET BETTER. The most backwards logic ever is: *new to game—>play terrible people who can hardly shoot back and know nothing about the game, getting you in the habit of not being shot back at or seeing how important positioning and the game mechanics in general are*

*get better at the game——>unplayable because everyone is sweating like they die in real life if they die in the game*

*get better at the game——>higher SBMM——>now you have low SBMM teammates to “balance” and you’re 1v3 in every fight, most likely against a 3-stack because of your own high SBMM but don’t worry man because you have 2 teammates.... who won’t hit a bullet bc they’re low SBMM and not very good at the game*

 

BEING GOOD = HAVING A TERRIBLE TIME HENCE YOUR STUPID SBMM IS INEFFECTIVE AND AWFUL

 

Oh and not to mention the fact that if I go play duos I NEVER GET ASSIGNED A TEAMMATE BC OF SBMM TAKING MY * TEAMMATE AWAY BECAUSE “oh he has good stats and is a predator so he doesn’t need a teammate, oh also there’s several partied up duos of sweaty players so good luck being solo without your teammate” IF I WANTED TO  SOLO QUE I WOULD UNCHECK THE “fill teammates” BOX BUT GUESS WHAT? I NEVER DO AND I STILL GET NO TEAMMATES IN DUOS 9/10 GAMES?!?! SBMM is ridiculous and I can’t believe it’s not gone yet. Fix it. You are losing players by the second. While you’re at it fire whoever is in charge that decided to add it because I guarantee they probably know nothing about actually playing the damn game and that in itself is so dumb. Having higher ups who don’t actually play or are invested in the game is a joke, unbelievable, if I see any devs in pubs I’m shooting their boxes, but I probably won’t bc SBMM won’t let me unless they’re on my team doing absolutely nothing to help the team out bc they suck. Take it out of the game. That’s it. Just take it out, goodbye, gone forever, will not miss you, never liked you, never have, never will. Oh and btw, every single one of my stats has gone down tremendously since you added SBMM, and you wonder why nobody likes it? BECAUSE IT TAKES THE FUN PART OF THE GAME AWAY. You want a successful game? Make it competitive in the COMPETITIVE RANKED MODE. Leave pubs alone. Pubs is where you go to have fun and relax. Ranked is where you go to sweat and put in effort. This is how video games always have been, and always should be. You make a game successful by making it fun when you want to have fun (playing public matches) and make it competitive where it needs to be competitive. (in the RANKED MODE ONLY BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT ITS FOR)

    lol this arguement never gets old, "SBMM is bad for everyone new players would have a much better time getting rolled by me"

  • You are absolutely stupid in what you have just written. You clearly care about yourself and what you want. Well done, for being selfish. You know when the game is bad when people rather play lower end ranked than casual, that's where I go because playing casuals against sweats like you take a whole enjoyment of the game, even when this game is just plain awful with the whole mechanics. You want to go and sweat and get all the kills, go ranked and do not join casual, because of a person like you, you destroy the fun and enjoyment of others who just want to run around and play. But you no you have to sweat like you playing for money like this is some kind of competition, and it isn't. You want to go and sweat, go be a pro, and you aren't probably good enough for that. So go and play in ranked stay there, and do not come back to casual. Because it's not all about you, it's about everyone. I won't even read all that you wrote because it's just plain stupid. Also saying that new players shout get destroyed by people like you, Nah mate, you are wrong, you do that in any game and people aren't coming back. You wouldn't have an idea on that, because you clearly do not understand why people play game. You just a selfhish little child, sitting at home trying to bully others in a vide game, that's not a way forward. I would suggest go and do some reading, talk to some smart people, go and talk to people that know why people go and play causal game modes. People like you make any game experience worse for others.
