Sbmm is at a terrible state

Last season imo the sbmm was just amazing , the lobies were hard and I was enjoying it so much. It was making me develop my skills in the game.  And I was never raging , I never hit to voice button when I'm screaming in the house so no making anyone feel bad but the skill match making slider is just a joke rn ? The OG apex pubs were way better than the mess currently , last season telling again imo was my best experience out of the box but rn its a mess. Mostly matching with low level players with low skills again and meanwhile the loby is showing at the very right side end ? How ? Like really how ? And in the patch notes you guys were tellin it is gonna be balanced , you will find people like you more so less arguements will happen ? Like I tell again , I hate to make another feel sad so I never trash talk or anything but this lobies currently is damaging my mental state , I'm finding my self roaring in the house after each match nearly. Please rework this back , this is not fun , this is an absolute nightmare. Hard lobies were fun coz u know the enemy is good , ur teamates are good , nothing unexpected or wierd was happening.

  • Weird.  My experience has always been this way (when I solo in pubs I always get super green team mates).  For me, that is virtually always the case and usually why I wait until friends are available to play online so I don't have to play that random lottery.

  • Matchmaking in this game has been pretty disastrous for a long time now. The only way I can imagine it was good for you last season is if last season was your first season in the game. That would account for why the matchmaker was going easy on you. Now it thinks it has you in its clutches and will treat you like it treats the rest of us.

    I've actually seen some improvement this season, but that only seems to affect the left side of the bell curve. Everyone else, like RockDokRock​ said, is doomed, especially if you solo queue.

  • As a solo queuer this game been awful. multiple 3 stack pred teams chasing down plat and low diamond players is BS. they need to reward solo queuer teams. 3 stack masters/pred teams farming these plat and diamond players need to earn less RP. I think the amount of RP earned oughta be based on the teams ranking and if they're pugs/2 stacks or 3 stacks. Its ridiculous to mash up plats with 3 stack preds. or just sit them out longer queues for their own matches. its getting pretty sickening cant play a fair competitive match.

    Also their "Did you enjoy this match" "Yes" or "No" survey at the end of games is kind of hilarious. they don't even give you a box to fill in to explain or give a reason for further feedback. Honestly what is the point of just Yes and No with no actual feed back. Who ever made that questionnaire prompt is a clown.
