I just uninstalled Apex
Every single one of my friends quit this game recently. And the reason for it is broadly the same. This game isn't even "playable" Anyone logging on to Apex will casually find themselves spending 45...

Are you pro SBMM, or at least the current state of SBMM for Apex?
I bring up SBMM because it’s come up in this thread, and subjectively speaking, its something that has me close to “uninstalling apex” as the thread is titled. I won’t speak for everyone, but my public lobbies consist of a majority of Diamond and Predator contrails. Even if I am that caliber of player, its stressful if I’m only ever playing people of that skill level; I literally can’t make a mistake or I’m dead. It’s a tiring scenario.
How is that even possible when there are only a few thousand predators world wide across all platforms?
Even PS4 needs to fill spots with platinum players for ranked matches. I don't understand how it's even statistically a possibility to have majority Dia/Pred player games, every single game when those players are only 2.3% of the player population for those two ranks combined.
@Wingmannedbro
You’re response is that my public lobbies aren’t filled with a high majority (probably about 80%) of Diamond + Predator contrails but this is entirely the case. I really don’t know what else to tell you.
My public matches are FAR FAR FAR More grueling than they were before Duos (I am assuming some sort of tweak to SBMM was made around that time). I would win plenty and lose plenty, now I spend the majority of my time losing, which is fine so long as the SBMM algorithm starts placing me where I really belong or a tweak is made to the system.
We can go back and forth on this but it would be a waste of time. The important thing is that further tweaks to SBMM need to be made or it needs to be removed from pubs all together. Give all of the SBMM supporters the option to play ranked (sbmm) exclusively. This will ensure they are always playing people of the same skill.

The problem with ranked is that IT IS NOT SKILLBASED.
NO IT ISN'T!
Why?
Because you get points for every match regardless how bad you play.
Just 1 kill and woops you are positiv in points.
Even if you just do 1 damage to that enemy, if you get the kill you get rewarded...
But even worse: In ranked there is no possibility to lower your rank!
You are stuck with too strong enemys and get overpowered every match.
STUPID SYSTEM!
Why not let me go back to bronce?
And why am I paired with gold players 4 levels higher than I am?
The low player numbers and long waiting times just show that ranked is booring and obsolete after your eached your max level...
SBMM is more flexible! If you play bad, after 5 matches you see your oponents getteing weaker.
If you play good you get harder oponents. Why not?
Sealclubbing and pubstomping has finally ended! Get used to it...
BUT I HAVE AN IDEA:
Use SBMM for ranked, and give all sealclubbers and pubstompers the random mode!
