SBMM In Ranked Open to Litigation
I often wonder if their version of SBMM is even legal. Especially because it is not really skill based, it is calculated to drive engagement which creates an addictive response. Anyone that has playe...

@DoYaSeeMe wouldn't EOMM essentially create more diversity in difficulty on a match to match basis due to the fact its trying to balance out the whole w/l ratio to increase player engagement?
If my understanding of it is correct it doesn't feel like it's present in apex, for me anyway. As my matches are consistently difficult.
Well, something was up this season. My winrate is usually set around 5-6% every season, this season however it has magically increased to just below 10%. I didn't become that much better between s8 and s9, that's for sure. I haven't changed anything on my end. Leave as many games as usual, soloQ Lifeline mostly, play largely the same guns. So either the game gave me easier enemies or better teammates, both not something I noticed though. Or low profile being gone had an influence, as you actually now have a (small) chance in 1v1'ing all the Gibby crutch players. Don't know, but my skill certainly didn't improve that much. I just think that such a relatively large shift in winrate seems a bit odd.

As a Gibby main
- @Cheese9Man I won’t lie Gibby is my biggest hatred in this game. As a Wraith main if I get up close to a Gibby who is good I know I’m screwed. I have nightmares about his arm shield
- @CCbathwater They've added Arenas, which is a big split in the playerbase. Splits can mean longer queues, less efficient SBMM due to smaller number of players in the queue (higher chance for players with higher / lower skill and for premades to be mixed with solo queue players in lobbies).
- @DoYaSeeMe So basically you're saying I probably got lucky and met easier opponents as it filled in lower skill players more than it filled in 3-stacking preds in my games? 3-stacking pred/masters whom I always have/had in most games anyway, for some reason.
- @CCbathwater just lose like 10 games in a row with no kills or 1 kill tops and you will be thrown in bot lobbies.
win 2 or 3 matches then you will be thrown to preds as it will be feeding time XD
tested and certified by the way 🙂
- @CCbathwater From my experience it isnt hard to make my win rate fluctuate between 7 and 10%. Past seasons I was always 10% or greater. I prioritized taking on fights that made sense and leaving them if we were clearly overmatched, playing more for the win. This season I am at 7% due to playing more aggressively in lobbies that seem harder to begin with.
- @hayhor "prioritized taking on fights that made sense and leaving them if we were clearly overmatched, playing more for the win" <------- Could you tell my randoms this?
- @CCbathwater Sorry but they dont care which is more along the lines of where I'm at. At this point I think I'm at 500 wins on caustic and 850 or so overall and really slow games kill me. I can handle them occasionally but not a lot now.
