Why SBMM ''cuts out the middle man''
Here's why: Very good/pro players will generally be better than most players they encounter in every game they load into, meaning sbmm doesn't really affect them as much. Sure they might meet a few ...

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!
I'm tired.. I don't mind sbmm in ranked mode.. but every game I'm playing I'm playing against so many predators at one time.. I am not predator material.. the only reason my accuracy might seem good to apex is because I essentially sneak behind a person and empty a mag into them before they down me.. how that works I don't know but I'm tired.. I can't play this game.. I suck .. I was having alot more fun over Christmas than I am now.. I'm level 220 and everyone in my lobby is like 450+ 20kill badge 4k damage .. I've only got the 2k badge for revenant.. I've never done over 2k damage in my life and honestly think it was just a fluke.. but now I'm going against guys who can beam you with an r301 at 200m break your shields before you can even tell what's happening.. not to mention my ping sits at 180 average so now it's not just a case of be faster than the other guy.. now it's just if the first shot gets you you're dead .. because even though you got through that door way and closed the door before you were downed.. you're still technically not actually behind the door yet.. even though you are.. I'm constantly shot around corners when I shouldn't be but that .2 of a second just made the difference.. I don't have the tactics these premade predictions squads have.. I only really play randoms and ever since S4 things have just been so .. not fun.. I don't know how to get better and I'm honestly on my final tethers because it's really hit me hard just how actually ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I am at the game.. not that it's of anyone's real concern or anything I know.. but I'm done.. I'm over it.. i don't really wanna keep playing anymore..
@TwistedShadowSafI see Diamond more than Predators. And I like Predators more than Diamonds. Lol.
So today I had 2 x a third place in normal play and some good matches!
For me SBMM works!
I assume I am a bad player with K/D<1 put 50% of my teammates are even worse.
So my guess sis, the borders in the higher ranks are overlapping since waiting times would be inacceptable.
If you accept longer waiting times, teams will get better.
In Mechwarrior online you had to wait 5 minutes for a match to start!
30-60 seconds, that even normal in World of Tanks...
But if ou want 5-10 seconds waiting time you have to accept worse MM!
