@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. 🤡
