Let's bash the new guy!
We have SBMM, in part, to protect new players or those that just don't do to well for whatever reason. Problem 1 - Smurfs. Problem 2 - More experienced mains drop solo and keep dying till you get i...

@apostolateofDOOM they rolled back armor changes. Let's roll back SBMM while we're at it. Random lobbies is the only truly fair outcome IMO.
"What about the newbies?" Give them their own matchmaker that restricts their lobbies to filter from level 1-75. They've got plenty of time then to learn the basics, learn rotations, figure out what weapons and legends they like, etc. etc.
"What about bad players?" They're bad, plain and simple. If they're not going to put effort into getting a little bit better to enjoy the game, then they should go play something else. You can't sit there and blame a game or the people who play it when you have a bad time, and simultaneously put in 0 effort to improve any aspect of your own skill. That's like opening up Dark Souls and complaining that the enemies shouldn't one shot you, but you make no effort to dodge, parry, or block attacks.
"What about people who've hit level 200-500 but are still bad?" There is truly no hope for them. I worked my rear off for a 3.15 K/D, 667 DMG/Match ratio, and I'm stuck with these sub-par under 0.75 K/D, 200 DMG/Match players against predators? Put these salted sea slug brain worm riddled spineless cowards in with the newbies for all I care. Maybe they'll learn something.
"What about Predators pub stomping people?" Seeing as how that's already happening due to low player population, I see no real issue with rolling back SBMM. Predators are people too, they want to have fun as well, and currently SBMM is really not allowing high skill players to consistently do so, especially when they queue with friends.
- @pastaclown The problem is any form of matchmaking will be exploited by smurfs.
So random is the only way to go.
New should learn they way I learned, live die repeat.
Until they get good.
They shouldnt be protected.
Respawn should make a totally new game just for dumbpeople.
Not turn a game for smart people into a game for dumb people and punish those smart people for being smart.
The smart people made this game cool to play.If i get a 6 kill game i go into lobbies with 2000-15000 kills on one character when i only have 2600 lifetime kills on lvl 430 lol. Can't even get a fun game cuz at the end there is 4 sweaty teams fighting in pubs like it's ranked.... And times when i get low skilled team mates under lvl 100 and i am the bad guy when i am fustrated for lower skilled players messing up my game and tell them fkin idots in chat. I constantly getting players like a lifeline who tried to revive our team mate in the 2nd last ring also they were looting there togeteher with half health, that's why they both got knocked... EA should ban itself not me....
