@lightning_5oI didn't say that. Plus with the amount of games I've played since launch you could say I'm probably closer to that timeframe than I care to admit.
They should do a separate lobby for newer players like they do on other games considering lets face it the only thing we have atm is what? A lvl requirement for ranked xD That doesn't really do anything to protect newbs.
"You think the bad players will get better just by playing other bad players?"
It's a tricky situation because they need to be up against skilled enough people to get a good handle on the game whilst still being able to have fun. SBMM is supposed to help push this idea but it kinda doesn't work as intended. This is why people always scream about master/preds/20K dmg/ 20 bomb players being in their lobbies. In the same sense how are you supposed to get better if you're getting beamed by APEX gods every match? xD
"When i play randoms i get below average teammates 9 times out of 10. Then I'm against pre made masters squads. It just doesn't make sense. I played arenas solo the other day got a level 3 and a level 19 on my team. Other team was 2 diamonds and a master"
I'm completely with you on this. I hate this games SBMM and it just seems to get worse. Idk if it's from my partner and I getting better but it's just all over the place. I honestly this season has been the most frustrating since launch. And I don't play on the same lvl as Masters/Preds just to clarify yet my lobbies are littered with them.

When I started I was awful. I got destroyed by great players. It motivated me to practice more or motivated me to watch YouTube videos and things to practice. I busted my * hit pred, masters etc and my reward for that is I can’t even play with my loved ones or any of my friends for that matter except my ranked friends. I get from a business standpoint why they do it bc I make up the 2% but it’s incredibly frustrating
- hayhor4 years agoHero@GH0STEDbyME I dont buy the whole there is no solution. The biggest issue with sbmm I see is the speed of matchmaking is prioritized first. One of the issues with this is using the best player for matchmaking makes it simpler to find games. If they used a combined team elo to do it it would take longer to find a game and there is fear people wouldnt like that.
- GH0STEDbyME4 years agoHero@hayhor Apex has by far the worst SBMM I have experienced and I've been a lifelong player of other franchises i.e COD, Tom Clancy games, Destiny, Gears, Halo. Sure you get the odd sweaty player but nothing compared to this game. Idk why it struggles so much. I wouldn't care about the matches taking a minutes to find a match if it was going to be more even.
I'm iffy about a combined team elo. It would have to be done correctly for it to work and if I'm being honest I don't have the most faith in Apex/Respawn.- hayhor4 years agoHero@GH0STEDbyME Have you played the most current COD with a full team? The squadding up sbmm in it is just as bad as Apex.
- 4 years ago@hayhor Just bothers me bc I busted my * to become a top 2% player and it’s in return ruined many aspects of the game. My pub lobbies shouldn’t feel the same as my pred lobbies
- hayhor4 years agoHero@lightning_5o I understand man. It is frustrating to be sure. There are times I'm glad I'm not good and just play for the fun of weird stuff. This is one of them. I would like just one day where I move and beam like you guys do to see what it feels like.
