What TSM Viss thinks about the current SBMM in casual

and I totally agree. If you want to play against people at your own skill level, regardless how bad or good you are, then play ranked.  Thats exactly what ranked is, a mode where you compete against equally skilled players.

Starts here:

And to sum it up people who wants this sbmm  in casual:

SBMM in casual is such a slap in the face for people who worked to achieve a certain skill in this game. Lets say, simplified but for the sake of the argument, that skill is represented by your K/D. So now, after 700 hours and over 4000 matches of Apex, have I reached the skill level of approx 3 K/D. Its not god-tier in any ways, but that is where I am right now. I wasnt born with that, actually I was quite bad in the beginning but I got my butt kicked over and over (in Skulltown 😉 ) and gradually got better until this point that I on average kill 3 times more than I die. But now, because of this SBMM, all that work means nothing since everyone I fight is about my skill thus making my "effective" skill or K/D go towards 1. All my progression to get "better" means nothing since "better" is relative and currently, Im not better than my opponents, Im equal.

I hope that more influential streamers speak up against it.
