@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.

@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.

    @GH0STEDbyME Have you played the most current COD with a full team? The squadding up sbmm in it is just as bad as Apex.

      @hayhor I'm assuming you mean Warzone as opposed to cold war? I've played with friends before I can't say I've seen much of a difference.

        @GH0STEDbyME No I mean cold war. The sbmm swings in it when you have success are crazy.
