SBMM is not actually SBMM
Hi I've been playing since launch and this season by far the worst in terms of sbmm I get potato teammates rather than my rank if it does go by skill level and determines your stats in the way that i...

@Moist_Demon to be honest , the system is not fair but whenever I think about I don't find away how they can fix it.
yesterday I was running with premade team and encountered a lifeline who was clearly new to the game.
poor girl got melted in a second and she was lvl 25 or something.
I really felt so bad watching her knocked, just facing the wall not moving trying to process what just happened and I was thinking why she was matched in this lobby then we found out that one of her teammates is lvl 500 so the system matched the whole team according to the highest lvl player.
so it was not fair for her , or her teammates and it was not fun for us and the same applies when we get matched against predator 3 stack who melt us in a second.
I don't know what to say but I agree that it's not a fun experience on both sides .....or maybe I am just too soft XD

Yes it's a free kill but it doesn't feel right for these real new players (not smurfs) to be matchmaked against us let alone players that are better than us. I don't know if it's a low player count in a particular server that's forcing them to join these lobbies. The game feels like magic when you're matched with people with the same skill. I don't know why but I'm less salty dying to a person who outplayed me who I know is at my same skill level rather than to those preds that I have no chance of winning in a 1v1.
- @maximas1986 I think SBMM is going to be difficult in this game. I've only seen a few games where SBMM worked flawlessly. The nature of BR's is going to include a ton of death. There are so many things that play into winning or losing a fight, especially in this game. Your team, your location, the guns you have and so on.

@pandareno1999or they blame server lag
- @maximas1986 Spot on with this. @Koochi-Q would act like he killed a pred tho. 😈
Funny cause I posted about a strike pack user just a few days ago on reddit, and within the 8K+ upvotes, 50% didn’t know what a SP was, and the other 50% were actually using them, which was somewhat alarming imo.
As for SBMM, it’s gotten worst for me, seems the more I play, the more I get matched with mediocre sub level 100 players on a regular basis. The game is not very friendly to solo queue players, and I’ve come to accept that. Hard stuck P4 at the moment, for every decent game with up to par teammates, I get a handful of complete trash, rendering that gained RP completely useless. I’m still praising tier demotion, and until they implement such a feature, low bottom tiers will always be saturated with players that shouldn’t be there, making it a very painful process for solo queue players reflecting appropriate rank. I’m now thinking SBMM is a combined average of wtv stats they need to come to said conclusion, and pre-stacks are just thrown in because they need to be playing regardless.
Let me put it this way, if Respawn was to allocate RP to the last standing player within said team, with decent dmg, I'd probably be a pred by now lol
The amount of times both teammates have either 0 dmg, or barely 100, both dead, spam pinging banners, and I'm somewhere around 800 trying to go on suicide missions, is more than I'd like to admit.
- @hayhor XD , ,Then he will throw a fanta party
- @maximas1986 Season 1 to 2 they never had sbmm and the game was fine
