Please be honest: How many weeks has it been since you won a match (pubs)?

@Axs5626Sxa5001Don’t really know how to place myself and my friends when it comes to skill. We’re all pretty equal in skill but I guess we’re low diamond players. We definitely don’t have the same lobbies because if that one friend of ours, who’s way better than me (he’s a consistent masters player with a KDR of 2.7+), joins us, the lobbies transform into the ALGS which I assume is your lobbies. Sometimes we’re put into these bot lobbies that have no chance against us which is a shame to be honest.


LMAO. I was reading your thread quietly and decided not join in anymore since it got way too heated. I absolutely get your point since I don’t want to sweat in every game too against masters players. This unfortunately will lead to the creation of smurf accounts.

I’ve made a past thread about the topic too collecting dev responses. They had a choice when balancing matchmaking into two:
1. The current system that puts you into lobbies based from a number of factors (rank, KDR, etc)
2. Just random.

They went with SBMM saying that they want to avoid 1 squad killing the whole lobby.

edit: You know what, I’m just gonna copy paste a part of my thread. 

• “Game is best when you are trying to play “for real” even in pubs. We’ve seen real data that shows people who lose or win too much have a much higher chance to stop playing forever.”
• Players don’t want to sweat in pubs but they also don’t want to lose at the same time.
• If Respawn don’t implement any sort of MM, you might get some free kills but someone in that lobby will easily steamroll you and your team.

In my opinion, I want them to try having no matchmaking at all and look at the data again.
