I have 1500+ hours of game time. I usually go up to the Diamond level. But now I stopped playing. Because now whenever I want to play, my teammates given to me by the system are low level. While my t...

@l_mRGogo Personally in BR the only thing I am missing is a ban list, so I don't get constantly matched with players I have played before and with very bad results - offensive, lack of skill, rage quitting, etc.
Temp solution - in season 11 I have been playing only with set teams from Discord but even there I start to run out of people :D

Otherwise, I can't complain in terms of BR.

Arenas...f them, Apex would be better off creating FFA 1 vs 59 or something like that.

@EREGDS 

SBMM works the same system on the BR side and the Arena side.
Why is there a ranking system? Why do my teammates get Gold or Silver when I reach Diamon rank?

  • SBMM does not work by rank.
  • SBMM does not work by level.
  • SBMM does not work by played time.
  • SBMM does not work according to the K/D ratio.
  • SBMM doesn't run by overall performance either.
  • SBMM does not work either by Average ping time or by region.

SBMM exists purely to keep players in the game and make money. You can join a team with a very nice skin or frame. Or, if you are constantly winning, it may immediately give you teammates that you cannot win. If the SBMM system wants you to win, it may give some to a decent (your level) team.

SBMM, I think, works on luck just like heirloom. (Heirloom 500 does not work in the package, this is a complete lie. There are tickets I created for EA.)
In short, SBMM does not work.

How do you think SBMM should be? what do you think about it? (Not just for BR. What is your opinion for both)
