Skill based matchmaking should start at the damn lobby.
I'm not buying it that the playerbase has dwindled to the point where the only good players play in premades and everyone else is seemingly level 50.
Noobs should be isolated to noob lobbies for their own benefit and ours. Seems like new players win once and they're just chucked in the deep end.
I don't know about everyone else but i would happily wait a bit longer to join a match if i knew the entire lobby was roughly the same skill level...my team included.

So... you want ranked...? People matched upon skill level.... go play ranked lol

They have already said there is skill based matchmaking in pubs but it doesn’t work correctly as they don’t match your teammates correctly.

@Jem450R That doesn't work either. I'm 12k kills soloing diamond teamed with a level 87 (first acc) gold 2 with 20 kills and his friend in plat has 40kills on his wraith main. Not similar skill level and a pretty frequent occurrence.
I agree with @MandatoryIDtag would much prefer to wait a little longer to have more competent players in my team, ranked or otherwise.
Without getting to much into the SBMM argument, in theory I think we should have SBMM but the way respawn have it implemented clearly shows it doesn't work so have pre and post level 500 lobbies with algorithm to detect smurfs. If they get to 500 and still can't reasonably handle themselves then imo they deserve to die more often and reward those that get better instead of punishing them.- hayhor6 years agoHero@apostolateofDOOM If you are in a premade squad, which those two seemed to be, that premade goes to the highest level.
- 6 years ago@hayhor A gold and plat team shouldn't be placed with a diamond.
Having it go to the highest level is fine when there is 1 rank difference but not above and below mixing across 3 brackets as it goes against the whole point of playing with a similar skill level and this is the good majority of games.

@Jem450R Have you played ranked? It's just public lobbies with points to grind. XD
