@lightning_5oNot being able to play with friends (because the SBMM is determined off of the highest ELO player) is absolutely positively the most egregious facet of modern SBMM in games.
Online multiplayer should literally NEVER deter you from playing with your friends. But Apex in particular is super punishing for lesser skilled players trying to enjoy their time with friends. I’m open to debating some of the other aspects of SBMM and it’s implications on gaming in general, but this particular issue really cements my hatred for forced SBMM in pubs.
Again, ranked should absolutely put restrictions on the experience of playing with friends— but public matches? Really? It’s ridiculous. The fact that people support this (because it’s “the lesser of evils”) is ridiculous too.
I feel the same. I can't even play with my sons anymore. Just punished for playing with each other. It defeats the whole team based aspect of this game. Sad. We don't play together anymore. My sons would rather play with a random so they have a slight chance at having some fun - because when playing with me, they get destroyed game after game without mercy or a break or a bone thrown in.
What's the point of a team based game if you can't play with your family or friends?
"Sigh"

This is easilly remedied with an alt and switch off sweatmode and just have fun with a p2020 or something together with your son. If you go sweatmode you will be right up there again so you know.
I hear you, I really don't want to resort to making another account. I have held off this long.
Still have little anxiety in regards to possible being banned if I did.
I truly despise smurfing.... and although I appreciate your advice to help enjoy the game with my sons (honestly I do), I just can't bring myself to do it. I don't fault someone for doing what you suggested for only the reason of playing with your kid....not at all. I just cant do it.
But really appreciate the suggestion : )
Thing is the hated smurf is the people going all sweatmode on a noob lobby ruining everyone's day. If you run around with a p2020 having fun, dieing on purpose so your son can Res you and in general not ruining anyone's day your son will love it, people get their fun and you can have a proper laugh at the same time.
When I go full force again I need two alts, main for team, one for soloranked and one for my daughter. Two sweaty and one bubu account with the worst stats ever.
Increasing the level minimum for Ranked should be done ASAP. It won't eliminate smirfs but it sure will reduce the number to only the truly dedicated a-holes. Pubs matchmaking should adjust to smurfs...anybody who drops a 20 bomb in a low level lobby should be immediately moved up. Pub stomping is obnoxious, IMO.
