SBMM is not actually SBMM

I've said it before and I'll say it again,

it's cause most if not the great majority of good players, they play in duos or squads,

and it's pretty understandable given how massive advantage is to have 3 really good people in one squad..

I'm also of the opinion that Respawn will never fix SBMM or any balance to matchmaking whatsover & whether it's just down to complexities around certain skill level criteria ie KD,kill/death ratio etc or whether it's just down to player count or just the need to fill lobbies but whatever Respawn use it hasn't worked for seasons.For that reason  Apex just doesn't feel like an enjoyable game to play now (unfortunately) & many matches just seem to be squash matches where Pred teams can just ride roughshod over us solo queueing team of strangers.Us solo queuers are already at a disadvantage not knowing the calibre of teammates we are being paired up with & with that what their favourite weapons are,landing spots,tactics (whether play as a team or solo player),characters etc unlike pre-made teams have that ready-made advantage in knowing all that & being better organized & playing as a more cohesive unit.But it just seams as though filling out lobbies with pred teams has sucked the life out of the game now.

Respawn have always mentioned previously about looking into SBMM but in truth like many other issues just looking into things usually means just kicking things into the long grass & not actually fixing them (like bottling it when it came to fixing tap-strafing). & so for me a realistic alternative may have to be to ditch Arenas & the server usage it has in favour of either a BR Solo mode or have a separate game mode for solo queueing teams & a pre-made team mode.
