Back in the day I had a really horrible KD it was like 0.7, grinded the game pumped my KD up to 1.20 matches where hard before then but now, yikes.Total KD is 1.21 Season 10 KD is 1.70 and as it started to increase wow, I am getting matched with predator level teams, and they are supper sweaty, not in the past seasons whas sweaty too but now it is almost impossible to keep up, 2 games and I am burned out, this is like a mega sweat festSo did SBMM got harder or there are just too many OP players now?

These types of threads always turn into a bragging, e-peen measuring contest. My lobbies are harder than yours. Lol. Every time...

@Renegade_Prime86 I’m Masters. My pubs are a majority of Diamond, Masters, and Preds.So no, I’m not being dropped into easy lobbies. SBMM is doing it’s job and keeping you safe from the high majority of players at my skill level.My win rate is 1.5% (despite making Masters every split). I bet you win more than me, lol.

The difference between the KDRs you listed is considerable, when it comes to which percentile of the player base you are in. 1.7 is pretty good and puts you in a much higher bracket than .7 would.

I'm sick and tired of being lasered at 150+ yards plus by people who have no business playing in my lobbies either. - DR

I've actually found the sbmm easier in S10, at least when in a pre-made, I feel that solo's is harder though!

Is SBMM harder this season or is it just me?

@Renegade_Prime86 SBMM in Apex is not that good, but you have to expect lots of sweaty matches early in each season. it takes to at least one month till season gets to its routine.

Makes zero sense. Mine was like 2.70 something last season, and the games were the same as usual. Teammates who do nothing, other than die, and several 3-stacking high ranked opponents. If I were being put in some "2.7 lobbies", why were my teammates definitely not 2.7 material 9.5/10 times? And why on earth did my winrate increase from a usual 5-6% to almost 10%, if my lobbies should be populated with tougher opponents?

Same for me on PC. I cannot say the same for Xbox. And I noticed a surge of low level players as well, at least in Arena, in both squads. Arena on PC is going way too good for me. I think in about 20 games, I lost only maybe 4. Meanwhile on Xbox I just lost 5 in a row, and the one I won was a 3v1. Enemy Fuse was sent in without teammates. And we dragged the thing till round 7 messing around with emotes, instead of fighting.
