In my world the SBMM works fairly well and pubs is ok - if you end up with smurfs and crazy matches you earned it by sweating to hard yourself :D however ranked is another thing, smurfs mess up the lower segments very hard and is at the moment ruining several segments of the ranked gameplay..
I have to admit I do "smurf" myself but not in the smurfing sense, I restrict myself to p2020 only and a long range weapon I suck at to be able to play with my daughter when she is playing (and i make sure I dont sweat, pure fun and fooling around) - her lifespan together with my main I think avgs to 10-15 seconds :P so I try just keep her alive and make her day and at the same time not ruin the day for the normal players in her segment, I would perhaps not call him a smurf, more an alt to play with my daughter...
- 4 years ago@Zkepz Sbmm is definitely not working, recent reddit post saw 83% of people say that they believe its broken. Why would I have to ever play against pro's with 20k plus kills.
There will always be smurfs unless they fix it, maybe every new account you have to put in your bank details and if your cuaght cheating/smurfing you have to pay a £20 fine or something- E9ine_AC4 years agoHero+
@LOLcleverHideouts himself has stated clearly that he feels a true smurf is someone who purposely tanks their stats to stay in lower end lobbies for easy kills and wins. It is not for players who own a alt account who drop 20 bombs and quickly move past the noob considered lobbies. Below I will post a conversation between a player and a actual dev for Respawn just today in Hideouts discord. Which can be seen here. https://discord.gg/ydAfuHtc

Whatever people "say" on reddit I do not believe it until I see proper proof, there are aspects influencing the sbmm in manners it cant feel correct... For instance today I think I saw a level 2-5 as champion in 15 of the rounds I played this is what is ruining the game atm and why so many is quitting mid season.

@Zkepz I don't use a Smurf ac when playing with my daughter, just take her to an out of the way spot based on dive trails, to get looted up and do a bit of running around and creeping and try to get her to a high placement while having fun. 😃

Well 70% of my sky is diamond or master and a few pred trails too, she dont have fun as a level 40 in there. Trust me im not ruining the day for anyone doing what I am doing, im even dying and missing on purpose its fun to play with your shoulders all the way down to your hips too, and she is having a blast aswell when shes got more damage and kills then me hehe. I wish I could have a bot mode on my character where I could nerf my character for max white shield and stuff like that to be able to use my main playing with her, she blindly refuse playing with my main hehe.
Edit, though if I see someone clearly not ment to be there I go full sweat, and give her the loot if I win with my all powerful p2020 though.

Yeah, there is defiantly something broken.
Played a game this evening where I had the TT and 2-4 scope. Lined a guy up at medium range. Hit him 3 times for 140, one more hit should have downed him.
He finally saw me and I was dead with 3 bursts from a prower. 66% head shots. From that kind of range. Total BS. It's really frustrating sometimes.

So my 300 average damage per game, single-digit wins in Season 11, double-digit wins in Season 10 out of 2,000 games, less than 1.0 K/D, and very low Top 5 % means I was "sweating too hard myself?"- 4 years ago

Just for the record, its normal to have 1 or 2 good players in a pubs lobby, but the smurfs gain access to newbie games because they are new accounts still in sbmm protection so they get to prey on people still learning, this is what I am fuming about.
When people play their main and I get to go up against them that is the sweaty way I like, to get nurfed by a trio of lvl 15 with 20 kill badge and 4k badge + 3 teams in a game badge is not, its exactly as awfull as getting smoked by a speedhacking and wallhacking aimbotter, well to correct that I dont care so much in pubs, but when that happens in ranked im not happy... And when that happens with the noobs even in pubs that means the game is slowly dying as recruitment stops, my daughter refuse to play the game now on her own because of the smurfs (that means she aint using her gaming money to get season pass), same with my oldest son and he is 22 but still a beginner at the game but experience the same crap. I'm guessing its not only them getting their motivation utterly disintegrated by content creators not good enough to use their main and others who copy them - not exactly a promotion of the game to be honest.
Note: I do not bash all content creators, there are some that sticks to their mains and make good content, hat off, well done, the rest can (yea I am choosing to censor this myself, feeling the heat coming hehe)...

@StelioRokos same here. My KD is 0.6, and yet that is sweaty enough for the game, apparently...
@CCbathwater @Cheese9Man hey look I also did stuff here. Did not win, but got 2nd place. Game was a blast. And this was like 6 months ago, but ok.
