Aaaaaand the next thread about SBMM...
I am absolutely with you, that we know too little about the SBMM calculations and leveling of players!
It would be helpfull if EA/Respawn explained the system in detail, to stop all speculations and maybe explain the frustraion.
If the avarge player / the middle man is matched fair I cant tell, maybe you are right and the system needs some improvement there.
Interresting is that you say good players are not affected by SBMM.
Generally all the threads opened here say the opposite!
The good players describe their K/D is lower now and they get matched against harder teams.
But that is exactly what SBMM is meant for since it seperates bad players from good players.
You also say bad players feel no difference because they get stomped anyways.
I as a below avarage player (?) can tell you SBMM improved my winrate MASSIVELY!
Before SBMM I won 1-3 matches per week. Now I have 1-3 wins each day...
I barely see players with more than 1000 kills, most have 100-500 kills, and there are some with less than 100 kills.
I think I get a fair chance by SBMM and I really like Apex Legends as my main shooter atm!
@Flashshark1980Respawn will never tell you what they are calculating. If they tell you that, then there is a lot of people who will find a way around. I hope they surprise me on it but i dont think so.
Also you dont get the point in SBMM. I see you in every Sbmm topic and you never get to understand what we are referring to, we above average players are consistantly saying the same thing. Some of the SBMM defenders are getting matched with crazy players and some of them are admitting their mistake. I dont know if you will get to see the same thing very soon but if they dont do that you will be matched with those lobbies i assure you that.
Player count is dropped badly, my 2 accounts are matched with incredibly talented people that i stand 0 chance constantly and you have seen my data.(Also the que times i am experiencing is stupid as well) Data shows exactly what they are looking into 1)Lifetime kills 2)Matches played 3) K/D. That is the only data they take into account which is unbelievably bad and stupid.
The most astonishing part of this whole discussion is Respawn saying NOTHING about this whole crazyness. It seems to me that they are either working on something very big and staying quiet till season 4 or they have nothing to say but meanwhile they are loosing their community. Year is 2020, if you loose people they will only come back if everything else is worse then your game, if you stay quiet this much you ll loose everything. Look at twitch data! People are re uniting with PUBG just because Apex is so bad atm! Look at the views on Escape From Tarkov! I donno what they did but 2 days in a row they are the highest watched atm. Why? Because Apex is a very good game but the way Respawn is handling the issues is just terrible and beyond insanity.
Imagine this; your boss is constantly destroying your work and improvement. The whole employees are outraging and confused.. but then you post artwork on twitter! What do you think people will think about your boss? Will they say oh i have an incredible job that i get destroyed everyday but i am cool. Or will it burn everyone down and at some point people will give up ?
This morning i started very positive and started streaming. Guess what? 3 stacked preds in normal lobby. Then i said ok lets get my smurf to diamond, oh guess what? 3 cheaters in a row(2 aimbots, 1 wallhack and i have clips). So i stopped streaming, stopped playing and came back here to complain. This game is so much pain to play but also the only game i love. How much will it take to completely stop playing it? i dont know but if anything comes out that is remotely close to Apex.. I am out and i wont wait 4 months for another season and Respawns empty words "We heard our community, next time it will be better." Which for me means; we heard our community and we will do exactly what we did before.
