PLEASE FIX SBMM!!!

I know this is at this point a divisive and tired subject. However I literally am completely out of patience. My neighbor just got the game and wanted to play so I agreed to play some games with him....

@rickyressel SBMM is pretty much working fine in pubs. I'm at 1.20-ish KD and it's pretty much easy to play solo. I get at least 2 kills most of the time. But whenever I'm playing with my friends with a 2 KD or more, then it's getting serious.

Just like ranked, if you're at 0.6 KD and facing a pred with at least 4 KD then it's just the system who put that pred because they couldn't fill a lobby with players over 4 KD. I know, it's a mess, I've been dealing with that kind of system in Ranked for quite a while now and ranked split made it worse.

Sometimes just because a player lasered you big time you think they are so good or something, but the reality is, people just happen to have that luck hitting everything.

haha in news today - I know from friends the COD Cold War SBMM is EVEN more aggressive than COD MW.
But is this still technically "cheating" if players are not even participating in game yet and just back out in lobby stage?
i.e. In Apex. How many people quit lobby after seeing their 2 squad mates rank & banner stats in public matches...

The amount of effort people put into COD to reverse boost 10 times to get one good game, Low rank host parties, smurf etc. What a hassle, might as well just not play it anymore.
One good thing about Apex is that if things go south and not your way, getting into another lobby within 10 secs is faster than any other BR game

  @PeterN_UK Exactly. I never back from a lobby based on teammate and champion squad stats. You never know what will happen.
