Apex Legends SBMM doesn't work anymore HELP

This is my first post so please be kind if i don't make everything right here.

I normally don't post Stuff like this on Reddit or the Forum here but it has gotten to an Point where i can't enjoy ANY Round that I am playing anymore. The Apex Legends SBMM was perfectly fine when i started in Season 9 where the Genesis Event dropped and Season 10 was also very nice but after the first week of Season 11 the Matchmaker began to become such * that I can't enjoy anything in this Game anymore.

I constantly get into Diamond Lobbies at Minimum, Masters and even Pred Lobbies with an KD of currently 0.82 because i play ALOT. How does this happen???

My Stats at the Moment are this:
- Global Games: 3.70 Tsd.

- Global Wins: 137(!)

- Global Top 5: 682

- Global done Damage: 1,182,302

- Highest: 2,962 (only ONE Round, and 2k Damage Badge on 3 Legends in total after 3 Seasons(!))

- Averrage: 319.45

My Enemies Stats on Pred and Master Rounds:

- Octane with 87 THOUSAND Kills Pred 3

- Bangalore with 83 THOUSAND Kills Pred 3 and 20 MILLION Damage done which is 20x more then i have done GLOBAL

- Wraith Pred 3 with 11 THOUSAND Kills

- Bangalore Pred 3 in BR and Arenas with 77 THOUSAND Kills, 5388 Wins, 20,394,672 Damage Done which is again 20x more then I have Global(!) as shown in Screenshot below

- Octane Masters 2 with 31 THOUSAND Kills 9,204,702 Damage done which is 9x more Damage then i have done GLOBAL with EVERY Legend Combined

- Lifeline with no Master or Pred Badge but probably has minimum one of them since she was in the same Team: 33 THOUSAND Kills, 10,532,944 Damage done, which is 10x more then i have GLOBAL, DDM-Drone healing: 1,529,453

And that are just a few Examples. For the first ones I'm too lazy atm to search them in my 14k Screenshot on Steam but if you want i can search them for you.

European Servers are even worse then Season 11 in Season 12 and I just can't play on them anymore.

I get 1-2 Squads that are like me as Enemies and then we get rolled by Premade master or Pred Squads CONSTANTLY(!). My Teammates have worse stats then me most of the time which is ok but then I look who killed me and my Teammates and I nearly always see this Stats as shown above.

In an 4-9+ Hour Session(!) I get like 10-20 good Games with 1-4 Wins while all other Rounds last like 2 Minutes...

I don't * know what to do anymore since this * just keeps getting worse and worse and Apex is my most favourite Shooter out there at the Moment due to the Movement, Ingame Design, UI, HUD, Weapon Design and Weapons themselves etc.but as said, i get rolled EVERY * ROUND with minimum Diamond one Enemies with ALL Badges like 4k, 20 Bomb, Master 2 Squads or even Pred 3 with Stats as shown above and as an Screenshot.

Can someone from Respawn please look at this and work on an fix for this? Its going on since Season 11 and keeps getting worse and worse.

Also one thing to Mention: If i die off drop with like 200 Damage done i get worse Lobbies then when I do 1k Damage(!).

I have 1,023.7 Hours in this Game at the Moment but it is * hard to improve at all when you are playing against Diamonds, Masters and Preds that are already shooting at you perfectly with 100% Accuaricy when you don't even know that Enemies are around...

@Axs5626Sxa5001 No. It isn't. That's completely false. I find I tend to get very green team mates and come up against very good players (smurfs? Who knows). Over and over again. I've tried ranked a few times and I get just destroyed. It's not against "equals" at all. I 100% reject that claim. Not my experience what so ever.

@RockDokRock It might be completely false for you but I know a HANDFUL of people that are under average but win their “fair share” of ranked matches (typically in Bronze and Silver).

Do they see smurfs? Yep. But 3 smurfs in a lobby feels MUCH different than 50 Masters players in your lobby. Please don’t tell me those two things feel similar.

@Axs5626Sxa5001 Glad to hear some people are having some success. My experience was awful. I tried it for about 50 matches. No desire to go back to it.
I'm an average player. My KD dropped from about .7 to less than .1 in that time period. This was Bronze IV. Just getting hammered over and over again. Someone sees you, you're dead. Nobody misses. I do fine in pubs.
Won't touch ranked again anytime soon. Genuinely felt like I was just being farmed for easy kills. No thanks.
Don't get me wrong, if it works for you and you enjoy it then go for it. That goes for any of the modes. I'm not a huge fan of arenas but other people love it and that's great. It's just not for me that's all.
Having said that... I would entertain trying it again with a proper pre-made squad. Randoms were incredibly painful. I'm sure they did their best but it just didn't click. Many were very green. On two occasions I actually had to explain why getting the Blue Body shield was a good idea over their white one. Seriously. That's what I had to work with. Then we'd get destroyed by a squad with 10,000+ kills between them or a level 15 guy with 50 kills. Over and over. My experience is the match making is broke. I am pushing 13,000 games played so I suspect the match making takes this into account and inflates my ability higher than it actually is when forming squads which is why I get really green team-mates. I'm not mad at them, we were all noobs once and I tried to coach them as best I can. It's not their fault they were matched with me so I don't take out my frustration on them. I try to help. But Ranked was just destroying my stats and was a really unpleasant experience.

Ok lets get this picture a bit more true, last split I played we started late with the climb. Gold was 80% smurfs, I was dancing with joy every time I could see anyone above lvl 30. Most of those carried 20 bombs and 4K badges that is the reality of low level ranked now, its catering for yt and twitch wannabees making smurfs to be able to make content. Its only good 14 days after season start and up to half way through the split, then its the very best experience in the game but outside of that its horrid at low levels.
For me the big difference between ranked and pubs is that in pubs I don't really care about winning, I care about having fun and do all those things I try swallow when I do ranked to get good points every round. I don't care if I meet the same level of people in pubs as I do in ranked most of those play shoulders down and with a big smile anyhow so its different experience all in all.
Every time I get in a lobby with a less proficient crown I feel bad, its almost like taking candy from kids and its just not right - the matchmaking have to be there. This is one of the reasons all the cheating comments are tossed around, a masters precision with an r99 for a silver player makes them think the player has aimbot, wallhacks and just fill in the list of cheats here []. To learn how to peak and instantly get out of the beam is not learnable for a silver when meeting a pred, they die before they understand what they did wrong. The matchmaking really have to be there. I am sorry if you feel too sweaty in every game you do, its just apex 🙂
