Apex Legends Matchmaking!The Apex matchmaking right now is killing the game. Every lobby is invaded by 10.000+ Kills enemys with rank predator or diamond. Everyone has the 4k badge and 20 kills.Theres no way u can enjoy this game anymore. Besides every teammate quitting the game after being knocked once, you get "sweated" to death by these 24/7 gamers. Like every 3rd person has "TTV" in his name?!Even playing on a new account: after level 10 im permanently matched in Predator matches and i even played with streamers like SHIV FPS or Diego with that low level account!I know i got 2k kills too and an 1,9 KD with my main account but everyone is above my skill level in these "normal public lobbies"....I still have fun in normal lobbys! - NOT AT ALLNo one liked the change and if i want to compete with better players, you can play ranked.Theres no way in casually enjoying the game anymore. If you want to play like an hour per day.i actually love this game and it feels so good to play, but nowadays in these lobbies there is no fun anymore.I dont know if everybody is a god nowadays? and there are no "average" players anymore?What do you think about these issues?

@Nintekkdo 70% of the people agree with you and im guessing 10% like it and the other 20% just lost interest in texting their opinion bcz no one listens here. I hate this SBMM my K/D ratio has gone so low i dont even wanna look at it anymore. Its not about the good players killing us its about the fact that i am not a sweaty pro player who wants to kill 10 squads by myself i played and enjoyed the game with 4-5 kills per match bcz im a random player who wants to have fun in battle royale games. I cant play with my friend bcz playing in a premade squad just makes the game worse. I also noticed that everytime i play with friends my hitreg is crap i cant down a player without a shield with one mag and when im alone i can kill 2 people with an r99 mag if they have white shields.So if someone wants to tell me there isnt something wrong with this game and the servers i would gladly invite them to my house to sit on my chair and see how unplayable this game has become since the second half of season two

I just uninstalled after playing since launch day. I can't take it anymore

Its not just the MM, the ESP and Aim bots are so easy to get for this game its ridiculous.A lot of 10k + kill people have zero recoil and know exactly where others are, just spectate them and they seem to get stomped because you are watching.Reporting is a waste of time since the usual EA way the devs are forced to design more ways to make money then fight cheats and such, more skins, more packs, same useless anti cheat system.The only way to have any kind of fun with the current MM is to create smurf accounts, play ranked untill you hit plat and then reroll another, the public mm is ridiculously broken, and plat + is a waste of time unless you have no life.Its a shame, I had bought battle pass for every season and now I wont bother anymore, whats the point of playing your main and just getting destroyed all the time, I only smurf nowdays or play valo cause that game has a proper anti cheat system, no 40k kills TTV no recoil sweatfest there.

My games are regularly filled with heavily more skilled players. Both in my own squad as well as enemy squads. It sort of takes away the fun of playing the game as the casual play style I use doesn't have much weight or value. You can only really have fun if you dedicate soul and time into the game to improve. Only then you can enjoy the game to the fullest. Before that, most of your games will consist of unfair situations. Hate me for it or don't, but this game heavily favors the skilled folk.

@FaIIenAngeI777 To anyone in favor of SBMM, I'd love to see how you feel about it when you have to play in Public lobbies that end like this every single game.https://youtu.be/Em6T6UXCh3kThere is no difference between Ranked and Public lobbies. It's an absolute joke

@Nintekkdo From what I heard about changes to SBMM from Sethlyy EA is also collecting behavioral analysis and if they detect that your streaming to any service, all streamers will be put into the same lobby together in a future patch ( i don’t think its set up like this currently)

I don’t really agree with that at all because it makes content for your channels alot more challenging, but also not all streamers have the same skill level

Im one of the few 10% that actually likes SBMM but I don’t have friends so not being able to play with friends isn’t an issue for me and I saw my first predator badge in a champion squad earlier in awhile but alot of people maybe apex predators but they are not using the badge idk

@Nintekkdo @MajchiDaFroggoYT
So exactly how would you propose this perfect matchmaking would be designed (think in terms of queue time, think player skill distribution etc etc) ? It honestly seems to me that what most SBMM-complainers actually really want is to be among the better players in every match without having to spend time and effort to actually get better..
Or do you want to make casual SBMM as strict as ranked? Whats the point of having the two modes then? I for one would not want to have my casual games only be Preds, master and Diamonds like last seasons when I was D2.

@Babbediboopi Oh i stopped playing this game a month ago. Finnaly realized after 2k hours that its so trash with the hit reg i rather play hello kitty wonderland. But ifi would have a chance to choose i would just make it like two steps lower with the intensity of great players or maybe also include how much kill does a player have and what level he is. More things shouls be included.

@Babbediboopi I fully support SBMM if it works properly. I'm sick of facing against TTV tryhards every match.
I also play on PC, where controller users have extremely OP aim assist, which ruins the balance of the game too.

@4ccbf460f7b926b1
But you didnt really answer my question there, i.e. HOW would you want this perfect SBMM to work then? I just feel like people are saying "SBMM IS BROKEN FIX IT!" and havent even spent a single minute to think what they want and the consequences of that design. Do you demand that you shouldn't have a single predator or master in your matches? Thats just ridiculous.
When you say that you are sick of "facing against TTV tryhards", what do you mean? Because I have 2.7 KD, always been in mid Diamond every season and etc etc and just based on dive trails MY casual matches usually have MAX 3-5 Predators, 15 diamonds and the rest without trails (even though I realize some diamonds might not have trails).
So it seems to me that causal SBMM is quite soft, i.e. a good mix of a few highly skilled and many average players, which causal should be if you ask me.
@MajchiDaTurtle
But at least in my matches, the number of the real great players, i.e. 20k 4k banners Predators etc, is quite low. its usually the Champ squad and maybe a handful more but that it... Maybe my SBMM is bugged to my favor but I just dont believe people if the claim that their casual matches are super stacked with 20 Predators.....

@Babbediboopi Well i dont know how it is now havent played it for a while but when i did it was horrible. Sweaty lobbies is what i hate in gaming i dont mind like 4 outta 8 heavy win games but i started getting * by people who dont even know how to point and click and i still died. I think my issue was more in the server performance than in sbmm bcz i had days where i just landed hs on everyone and days i died like 5mins into a match and dude the number of hackers goddang. So that did it for me

@destroyertmo I feel you man, I kinda wanna do the same. Playing since launch but there's more reasons to leave it than to stick with it. Audio is still a problem, skins lack (same as ranked rewards), queues are * up, players go solo(rogue) in ranked games too now.... As soon this "lockdown" is finished I will probably uninstall too.
