Matchmaking

I know, I know, there's a thousand of these posts, but I'm hoping Respawn notices the volume. I have a lifetime K/D of .98. I really felt I was getting my Apex legs under me in S3, average damage and kills went up nicely, but since S4, me and my buddies are getting put in lobbies with full pred squads. Every game I'm getting crushed by people with 20k badges, 4k damage badges, etc. I cannot compete with players like this and it's made the game pretty much unplayable. So what gives? Is there some fix coming? I've played since day 1 and completely frustrated, all of my playing buddies are.

    Hi, i am playing on the Oregon server, during peak time why the fk do u think its a good idea to put a lvl 12 against players running around with 200+ season 4 wins and rocking a 20 bomb badge, a pred badge and a 4k badge ? Is your garbage SBMM really that bad ? I am a returning player  and when i was told that SBMM was supposedly something that splits people based on their skill i thought i would give this a try again seeing as i wont be curb stomped right off the bat. But HEY i was wrong. As soon as i land, i get some weapons and oh lucky me..purple armor! and 2 mins later i get a 3 stack of no lifers lazering me down instantly. 

    I am LVL 12...who the hell designed this skill based system ? Honestly I have never seen such garbage matchmaking before. I think im done with this game. Based on the experience ive had in the past 4 hours Im going to draw the line here and say this game has no future if this is the system they are using. No one is going to like dropping and instantly getting hammered down by people who play this game like theres a 20 million dollar prizepool on the line.

    This game was better without this SBMM ❤️❤️❤️❤️.

    @Sushicuchi-TTV As someone who's played with and against my fair share of these boogeymen amongst the casuals I can say with great confidence that about 80% of them only got there by being carried/only ever playing in premades, and they go down like any other when you put enough left clicks into their hitboxes, so don't stress too much if you seen them in your lobby because chances are they'll get wiped before the second ring, but if not we'll then you have a chance to test your skills and learn something new if you face them
