Old v New Profile Accuracy
Has anyone noticed in Apex, when using a new profile with the same setup as your old profile that hits knocks and kills seem to be greater. Apart from appearing as a beginner to others and dealing wi...

@evandave34 This thread is a bit confusing but if I understand correctly..
Example - Lets say you have 2 two accounts, one 6 months old and another lets say 6 weeks. You are getting put into lobbies with predators as champions and the general pool of players on both (not noob lobbies) but perform better with the newer account as your main appears bugged somehow?
If that's the case then i don't actually know why but it isn't the first time hearing this. Perhaps @DoYaSeeMe (there might be others well qualified to answer he's just the first person that comes to mind with dev experience) can shed some light on possible causes.
OR, Reasons explained above by others - When you create a another account you're put into lobbies with new players which gives anyone creating an alt acc/smurf an advantage and will inevitably lead to better stats.
@apostolateofDOOM that's what happens pretty much
Since you have no experience or little experience on the new account, you will be pit against other fresh plays/low skilled players in order to even the playing field for everyone as to avoid being dumped on by a player with hours on top of hours of experience.
Hence it's easier to acquire kills which makes it unfair for players who don't really have that high skill to go against you.
With SBMM in the game, it will be harder to get those easy kills since you'll most likely be matched with players around or above your skill set.
With a better understanding of the OP, the answer to your question @evandave34 is: Yes.

@iBlockHeadMaybe in this case OP was referring to SBMM but I have heard it mentioned that people who have numerous accounts say it's smoother on a newer one and that something is wrong with their main.
- @apostolateofDOOM That's because the time spent in the game is probably one of the variables used for SBMM. The difference between new and veteran players was pretty obvious in KC@Night LTM and is a good reason for the old map to come back only in the second half of Season 4. My guess is that KC will be available for casual play from the start, to allow new players to get used to it before grinding for RP, but the SBMM will try to prevent players that joined only in Season 3 from getting destroyed by Old Skull Veterans.
@DoYaSeeMeI agree SBMM would likely factor in time played.
The guys that mentioned this issue to me were in my lobbies on both old and new accounts though.
