This is why player force to quit the game (fix matchmaking algorithm)

You Me and my brother install this game at the same time, take us 5-10 games to rank up to level 10 while our level was below ten we have a nice experience of the game. Once we reach level 10 the algorithm start to put us against level 200,3000 players has we drop on the map we die my brother got upset and uninstall the game same with my cousin and couple of my friends but I didn’t because I love the game and I love playing against high level people but they should fix the algorithm so new players/rookies/noobies can have a better game start experience of the game this is one of the main reason players force quit early because they think the game is difficult it’s the algorithm matching rookies with legends please @apexlegend or @Respawn fix this probably so we get more players

  • @TSMkingsolo level means exactly nothing, it only shows how much time one has spent playing the game

    matchmaking works (or at least should) based on your actual stats, mainly K/D and puts you in the game with players who have similar stats

    one can be level 200 and unable to hit a standing target while a new player can already have a 3.0 K/D despite being level 25
  • @TSMkingsoloThey have a training wheels lobby for levels 1 to 10. Lots of people make "smurf" accounts to access these ridiculously easy lobbies. Not going to lie, I made one and got 22 kills, 4200 damage and won my first game... But then my second match was against "high skill" players. Then my 3rd was back to training wheels lobby.
    Basically if you are good at a shooter, the game will figure it out eventually and put you against other good shooters.

    But I do agree with your point.  If you party up with lower skilled friends, the game still places you in high skill lobbies.  It really has to be this way to stop people from abusing the system and getting high skilled players into low skill lobbies all the time.

  • @Pallo420 i disagree, wholeheartedly

    see, in Ranked i get it, you should always be competing on as even of a playing field as possible, period

    however in PUBS there should be no SBMM whatsoever, sure you’re going to run into Toosh (or any other top tier Apex players for this matter), but that doesn’t matter if you’re just playing for fun and with friends, right? you get killed, you move on to the next match and hopefully learn something in the process

    i honestly don’t understand why there’s any kind of SBMM for PUBS

    @MIH4YL0WICH This topic is very highly debated on reddit and other posts here. No one likes dying to "sweats" with 40,000+ kills. But they exist and they are always in my lobbies lol
    Every match you play only ONE team can win, which means that 19 teams lose. So if you want to have fun and mess around then go drop in a remote location away from the hot drops and cities. Set your expectations to lose, because even the best players still lose more often than win.
  • @Pallo420 i don’t mind losing at all, i just find it extremely annoying and unfun having to fight in sweatiest of lobbies (only Predators and Diamonds for me) while i just want to have fun with friends

    if i feel like actually competing, we have ranked for that purpose exactly
  • @MIH4YL0WICH 

    I wonder though how many in your lobby that actually are predators and diamonds. I am Diamond in ranked, and about 2.6 k/d ranked and 2.2 k/d overall, and lately I must say my normal casual mode SBMM has been quite fair. Sure, there will be 5-6 players with predator trails and maybe 15-20 with diamond trails but honestly, I would say thats a pretty fair that about 50% of my server is on that level based on my own rank and k/d etc.

    What we know empirically is that most highly skilled players will drop at the beginning of the drop ship path because they just wanna frag so if you also drop early (like myself since I dont care squat about winning) it will ofc "feels" like the server is super stacked.

    @Babbediboopi i’m also diamond, cannot be bothered to actually grind ranked, lol

    my k/d is around 1.5, mainly because my 7yo likes to play too
