@Axs5626Sxa5001 from my point of view, the problem with Apex SBMM is the matchmaking with teammates.
when I get matched in a lobby where the champ team is a stack of 3 preds or a pred and 2 masters, or a team with total kills combined are more than 250 K kills ( yes, these numbers exist ) but my teammates are lvl 200 s and so.
then we have a big problem because the closer we get to facing this champ squad the more our chance of winning decreases until it gets to 0% once we get to two squads remaining.
I am not going to talk about the last and current season-ranked MM because everyone knows that it's broken ( except for Respawn ) because they want to pamper their crying babies.
honestly, I don't want easy matches but I don't was super sweaty ones as well and I don't want to waste 20 minutes in a match where I know that the result is already written.
everyone wants a challenge...... a fair challenge where the chances are 50/50.
so the teams as a whole should be all equal or ...or we need solos.
but the babysitting should stop, I don't need to babysit two players who obviously don't belong in the lobby, and no one needs to babysit me when I don't belong in their lobbies.
note: no disrespect to anyone, we all have different skills and I am not saying that I am great or something, not even close to decent.
but you know what I mean

@maximas1986To this day I don't understand if there are so many Diamond+ players in my lobby, why can't they ever be matched with me? Yeah, sometimes I get one of them as my teammate, but two of them? Rare. It's been like 4-5 seasons since I last had two teammates with "unrealistic" banners for e.g.. But I guess all the "unrealistic banner people" are 3-stacking *******, that's why we never get them as teammates but always see them on the champ squad screen. 🤡
- @maximas1986 Season 13 was as you describe. Even in solo q my entire lobby had trails, even my teammates. What's funny is I've never played ranked to a point I got a trail. My lobbies were super sweaty but at least my teammates were too.
- @hayhor honestly I find it fun to play when everyone is sweating or relaxing at the same time.
it makes me look forward to the next match regardless of the result of the previous one but that's only when the playing field is equal and no one is forced to carry anyone but everyone is supporting each other.
( fairness is fun )- @maximas1986 I was fine with that season, though I did win less often.
