Re: How many games should the average player be winning?

@Axs5626Sxa5001I get it trust me.

It sounds like the situation I've run into in ranked. I'm stuck in Platinum. Some of that is because I have to queue it with randoms. Some of it is because I'm on the lower end of the skill side of platinum. I just get murdered in those lobbies. I do have PUBS though.

Take any person whether they are mid tier or top tier. If they are on the bottom end of the mid tier skill level, they are going to get destroyed by the people on the top of the mid tier skill level. I think that is the biggest issue with SBMM.

I guess a good example would be.. If you're in a lobby that's the top 5% but your skill level only puts at let's say being a top 4.7% player, then the people who are top 1% are going to destroy you. Now with SBMM you're stuck playing in lobbies that are a high concentration of those players. I bounce in and out of the lobbies that are some place between mid tier and top tier. If I have a streak of 2k 10+ kill games I end up in the harder lobbies. The skill gap between me and them shows. I have occasional success but I have bad habits from the mid tier lobbies that ultimately get me and my squad killed.

It's probably why I don't mind SBMM in PUBS. I'm probably on the top end of the lobbies I'm in, so it's not a difficult thing for me. But when I move over to ranked, it's easy all the way up to Platinum.
