Matchmaking is unbalanced

I am only level 400 and never hit a rank above plat and neither have my friends and they are lower level than me, so why is it that in pubs is this a common occurrence in my matches, it’s extremely annoying and genuinely makes me wanna stop playing, someone answer me this!

  • @ZEDRYICE SBMM doesn't work properly, plain and simple. Designed to coddle people who don't put in any effort into being decent at a game, by "preventing them from getting stomped on." 

    It's kind of like, a bare naked man jumps into a lions enclosure to fight the lion. Then complains that the lion has sharp claws, a body with 3 times more muscle mass than him, and razor sharp teeth designed to kill bigger animals than him, and that the fight "isn't fair".

    That’s one way to put it but still the SBMM is terrible and I find it frustrating that I can’t enjoy the game because my squad is being curb stomped by squads with 10x the time played and experience than what we have, If only they could do something.

  • @ZEDRYICE like have random matchmaking again for all parties? Yeah that'd be nice, and people've been asking for either removal of SBMM or to make it less aggressive, but Respawn has pretty much kept silent about why their matchmaker is so aggressive and why they still keep it. 

  • @ZEDRYICE This is the sbmm having a premade factor. I think it is ridiculous that because you have friends the game works against you.
  • @hayhor not to mention they incentivize playing with friends by giving you those 300% EXP boosts that only trigger when you're in a premade party...

    My friend always thought that the game is dying and that there is a small player pool that's why we were always against preds. 

  • bs, weird and bs matchmaking; when I play with randoms I always hit lobbies with diamonds and predators (when Im a noob dude who never hit plat) and cant do sht in match, like before I down 1 enemy I need to be revived 5 times or so and while I add to friends 3 randoms and sometimes I play with em, with em I get lobbies that are full of players at my skill lvl or lower??? what is this matchmaking that playing solo gives me no chance to play with average 0kill 50dmg and playin with friends make me 3K dmg 13kill carry machine???
