SBMM Crybabies

Maybe it hasn’t been made clear enough either here or on reddit. 

The main gripe in SBMM has been coming from seasoned players, level 100 or higher. 

I can’t speak nor would I choose to for everyone. However my gripe and it has been echoed here and on reddit is the balance of the game has shifted since the Sbmm was introduced end of season 2. 

I have spoken about this and linked articles in other posts regarding the confirmation from developers about sbmm and what it regards. 

Now to the reason why I am unhappy about it and how it ruins my games with randoms. If any of my friends still jump on we play ranked, however I am not going to solo rank. So my option is to pub randoms. On average I am lucky to get 1 teammate above level 50. No they are not smurf accounts. Yet the teams I am facing in these games are rocking 4K and 20 kill badges. Plus from the drop ship you get to see all the shiny trails. 

To clarify I have no problem with fighting people or squads better than me. I win great I lose oh well. But to be handicapped from the get go with a squad of teammates who can’t land, can’t figure out which guns go with which attachments, ammo for which guns. Run into the first fight with no clue on where the enemy actually is. Well it gets pretty frustrating 3-4 games in a row with teammates unloading clip after clip and leaving the game to see 20 or less damage. Seriously not making this up, last night alone had 4 games in a row with 5+ kills and at least one teammate with less than 20 damage, one of those games a teammate with zero damage and they were blasting a charge rifle like it was a devotion.

I digress, it is the lack of matching you to similar teammates in randoms that is frustrating for me. One player somewhat capable and one noob fine, but we shouldn’t be loaded into a predator lobby. I can honestly say I feel sorry for my under 50 teammates because most of the time they don’t even know where they got shot from. They aren’t looking for grapple sparks,wraith vapor trails or a mirage ultimate in the distance. They sure aren’t listening for footsteps or the clank of Bangalore’s barrels. 

This should be and was a fun game to play with randoms, now it feels like 1 v 3 every game. Sometimes I come out on top most times if I do I am third partied before I can Rez a teammate let alone heal.

So that in a nutshell is my issue with the sbmm at the moment. I have been asking for it for awhile tbh. But it has to go in a direction that balances the game for all players. And to be quite honest solos would fix it altogether, but we will probably get that about the time the code disconnects get fixed.
