SBMM ON WINTER EXPRESS. Really??

Just have to laugh, honestly. For a second I thought we’d have a mode that could fill the “casual” void that pubs left. But instead we now have a super competitive Christmas mode for Apex. I a...

@Axs5626Sxa5001 I think they implemented SBMM into the code so likely every upcoming mode will have it.

Maybe now I’ll finally have some competition. Winning at least 3/4th isn’t fun.

@Koochi-Q I won the first 2 I played of the mode but then it got significantly harder.

Played 23 games today. Lost all of them. 18 of those 23 games consisted of the opposing 6 players being Predators.

Clearly I am bad at the game. So when am I going to get put into easier lobbies?

    Isn’t smurfing a bad thing? I thought the consensus was that all players should be winning and losing at the same rates, with the mechanically skilled players losing at the highest rates. Smurfing is a deviation from this and should be shunned. This what SBMM is producing, after all.
    
    And it isn’t even THAT bad in Apex. Have you seen what’s happening on CoD Cold War. It’s been exposed that the very best players in the world (pros) have stats that literally suggest they are average (not one pro player has a KD over 1.9). Some pros have a KD less than 1.
    
    The whole notion of “forced aggressive SBMM” is ridiculous, no?

  @Axs5626Sxa5001 I'm kind of curious what's your KD?! I'm starting to wonder if the Pred dive trails really mean much. I have been playing horribly and seen them in my lobbies. My best guess is they are purchased accounts or they are struggling just as much as I am.
  
  I don't get it.

    @DarthValtrex My KD is .9
    
    Yet I am 27th in the world for headshots (pathfinder) and 80th in the world for damage. I play in Masters/Pred lobbies but those are literally the only players I play against.
    
    I also frequently 1v1 players to test my mechanical abilities against my friends; I do well and lose infrequently.
    
    So I am somehow one of the best players in the world (statistically, regarding mechanical skill) yet can’t seem to beat the very best teams in the world, so the result is poor win/loss and kill/death ratios.
    
    People look at me like I have three heads when I tell them that I go on 300 game losing streaks because I am only playing the top players and streamers in the world.
    
    It’s all just so super silly.
