It’s not about owning noobs. I’ve been playing the game since Day 1. I consider myself in the top 25-30% of all Xbox players and now I mainly solo queue. I was confident in 1v1 and 2v1 situations and could get a win every 7-10 games or so with my “solid” games averaging 10-12 kills. When we used to play tournaments with my discord community, it wasn’t uncommon for one of our teams to smack 25-30 kills combined in a lobby.
Now I’m just getting smashed by teams with 25k-50k combined kills, meanwhile Im playing with guys that don’t even have 1.5k kills that are in the meat grinder before they knew what hit’em. And forget a 20 bomb, it was really difficult before and you had to really sweat, but now it’s damn near impossible.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that the concept of SBMM is bad, but maybe Respawn just ain’t doing the algorithms right?
I was one of those persons that had no idea that SBMM was ever added to the game. After the first week of its integration, I thought maybe people are just getting better or I was beginning to plateau, or both. But it just got worse and worse the more I played. Eventually I just stopped playing for awhile.
I recently came back a week or two ago and it just doesn’t make any sense that I’m constantly getting partied up with two level 100+ that don’t even have over 1.5k kills on their main, and yet the champion squad in the same match will have over 10k kills each.
Long story short, it feels like SBMM well at the lower skill levels, but once that mark is passed, they just jumble everyone together (possibly mixing a lobby with varying skill levels to reach an acceptable ratio of ok players - to phenoms?). And there is a HUGE difference between a player in the top 10% and the top 25%. If they’re going to make a BR with SBMM, then they need to restrict the parameters of the “skill base” differences. Put top 10% with top 10%, and put top 11%-20% with top 11% - 20%, etc.
It’s not about smashing newbs it’s about not getting smashed as if you’re a newb.

@Zobin911 And sorry for the long reply, just saw that there were more comments about this issue that are similar to mine. It’s time using this so I’m still getting familiar.

never understood why there's so much qq about the sbmm, the nolife guys don't want to play against other nolife guys?
@Zobin911"I’m constantly getting partied up with two level 100+ that don’t even have over 1.5k kills on their main", i don't have 1.5k kills on my main because i don't have a main, it's a fps not a mmorpg, wake up, you don't need to collect some gear for a character, you can play whatever hero you want, whenever you want, there's no main or alt
