Pls, for the sake of your game REMOVE SBMM
This is the worst piece of GARBAGE i have ever seen put into this game. You have a RANK system, why the fk do u have this garbage in the game ? Seriously you create a game that IN MY OPINION is one o...

@Zobin911I don’t think it's based on the total number of kills they have. It's based on their performance, average damage and so on.
I know some highly skilled players who have under 500 kills on their “main” account. They just don’t play enough to rack up 1500+ kills. Even if they have 20 kill games you’re talking about 100+ matches to hit 1500.
No matter the rank or lobby bad games are going to happen. The only way that won’t happen is if the skill gap is large. You’ll end up in positions that are unfavorable.
some might be on the edge or the bottom half of the higher skill lobbies. So it seems like they don’t belong there but they sort of do because they are the top of the lower skill level lobby. I’m in that position right now with platinum. Put me in a gold lobby and I’ll slaughter everything. Platinum, not so much.
Ya this SBMM is garbage. I cant stand playing the last couple weeks, especially if I'm playing solo. I'm low plat, but don't play a ton of ranked. And the last couple weeks I've had some good games, but the vast majority of games, I'm getting lasered, finished and teabagged by predators ranks. If SBMM is legit and balanced, theres no freaking way I should be getting multiple stacked teams of predators in my lobby. I agree with the OP, and unfortunately I feel this game will be considered dead in 6 months when you compare it to what it could have become.
Been playin since launch, really felt like you guys would knock it out of the park with this game and learn from others mistakes. But like other games I've played, one or two specific patches with these crazy * integrations/updates just blows it. GGs everyone. Might check things out next season and see if its any better but my gut tells me it wont be. Probably gonna have the same dang map for another 6 months. Oh, but there's 427 Bangalore skins to choose from! lmao
I can understand keeping new players together while they get used to the game but it's really hard to have a casual fun game anymore.
I've played a lot but I'm not miles better at the game than I was in S2. In fact I've gone down from a K/Dr of 1.6 to 1.3 over the 2 seasons.
I guess now because you can see when people are Diamond or Predator you know that the lobbies you're going into are particularly sweaty, I wonder if that is part of the problem?
@Cabowse See i'm apparently at the opposite end of the spectrum to you.
I popped out a k.d of 1.10 by the end of season 2 and during season 3 i'm currently sat at 1.42.
I mean season 2 was my first actual full season as i started during beast of the hunt...so it could be that i've just gotten better i suppose, but for me i feel SBMM has made me a better player.
Admittedly my lobbies are getting much more difficult but i welcome the challenge as i find ranked squads wholeheartedly unreliable due to 70% of them clearly being carried to plat.
- @MandatoryIDtag I used to find SBMM fine as well really, not that much of an issue. Recently it's been an absolute nightmare though, coming across sweaty teams left right and centre that move like some sort of hivemind, it's freaky!
