SBMM and how to end it
***before you mention player retention, our bullets haven’t been registering for an entire week, what does that do for player retention? Cod pubs never had sbmm, everyone loved those games***** So...
Forum Discussion
I posted lengthy essay on this topic but the moderators removed it.
SBMM is wrong because it seeks to ensure equal outcomes for players. Unless you are the three very best players in the world, players of all skill levels will now win and lose the same amount— give or take.
So lesser skilled players will, overall, experience more wins than they typically would have. Because they are winning more, they are more likely to spend money.
And at the end of the day EA does not care about maximizing the experience for everyone— they don’t care that forced SBMM makes the overall gaming experience too grueling and MLG-like for average and high skill players. All they want want is the strategy for making the most money. That means keeping the very low skilled players safe from the rest of the community.
@Axs5626Sxa5001 The BS that coming from your comment is incredible. The SBMM is there to maximizing the experience to everyone not just good players.
Really you anti-SMBB players are just pissed you can't get bot lobbies for easy slatra. Plus you just realised you are not as good as you thought...
BTW you know not everyone has 10 hours a day to play videogames and or disabled/old? So they shouldn't enjoy the game? Why?

- @budzai I do not want to abuse bot lobbies. You don’t know me so stop being silly. I am not the top tier player you are assuming I am. I am average. Maybe a smidge above. Yet my games require HYPER-FOCUS to place top 3.
Why?
Because the SBMM algorithm specifically selects my opponents to be as competitive as possible (when playing with my friends). This means EVERY gun fight is grueling. If matchmaking was RANDOM then sometimes I would engage guys better than me and sometimes I would engage guys less skilled than me— what’s important here is the overall experience wouldn’t feel like effing MLG tournament level play.
Forced SBMM in all modes only benefits two groups:
The bottom of the skill curve and the company (because they are making money). - @budzai Agreed, people who cry about SBMM are they same people that would only get in a RL fight if their opponent was a child......that was handicapped.......that only had one arm........that was tied behind his back......and was also blind.......and in a wheelchair.......that has rusty wheels........
@DankToliet so you must be including aceu in that... the literal god of this game who you probably dont know because you dont even know streams exist right? a guy who logged into apex after like a month yesterday and got a 24 bomb, and 2 20bombs, against fellow preds, who called respawn the R word for having their public playlist have sbmm while they already have a ranked playlist.. yeah man, youre clearly on the right side of history here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2ppFqlaMLo this guy definitely just wants to stomp people who cant even pick up a gun.. thats definitely his motive....
- @IlIlIIllIlIlIl Against fellow preds? That was a pubs match, not ranked.
- @DankToliet
Aw, this argument again. Cute.
Please look at this OBJECTIVELY.
SBMM is removing player choice and is making it so that average players and good players lose more. SBMM shifts the total lost matches from the low skilled players and forces medium and high skilled players to carry that load.
The result is that PUBLIC matches are turned into matches that require players of all skill levels to literally play perfectly. Don’t you understand that sweaty matches should NOT be the normal average experience in a game? That should be reserved for a ranked/competitive mode, no?
You honestly feel like every single match in EVERY single mode should be specifically made to be as absolutely competitive as possible?
