Sbmm rant
Why do I only get master/predators lobbies in public matches? Sbmm is a big problem for fragile casual like me and no, I don't want bot lobbies either, I want lobbies that match my skill, I have pl...

@mikkeltorne1If you have a legit, non quitting 2.5 kd you can make masters. You are in the proper lobbies.
I googled what is considered a high kd in apex, apparently 2.5 is high?
It just doesn't feel that way. When you constantly get put together with 3 stack masters/preds.
It's especially not fair when I play with my friends that have lower kd.
On the other hand, I play on PlayStation and I can't find match without have to enable crossplay, I don't have 240 fps with 5 ping?
Sorry for complaining like a child in a toy store.
@mikkeltorne1 It is ok. The MM has serious issues but yeah with a 2.5 kd you are probably in the top 1% of all players. I'd guess most players are less than .8 kd, maybe even .7. I know plenty of diamond level players who are around 1.2 or so if that gives you perspective.
Unfortunately what you mention about playing with friends is true. Premades get punished pretty severely as the game tries to as many premades together as possible. And the devs admitted that premade MM was going by the highest MMR in the group, although they said they were going to change it.

I didn't know that 2.5 kd is high, but maybe it's because I compare my k/d to streamers and youtubers? Which seems low by then.
Yeah, the thing about premades are very unfortunate. My friends always tells me make a new account, I have tried it once and I feld like I was cheating.
Not only did I feel like I was cheating in game, but also myself, I didn't earn a victory, I took advantage of new players, which feels terrible and I believe is also a big no no.
- @mikkeltorne1 Plus it will not last. Smurfs are identified pretty quickly and moved up accordingly.
@mikkeltorne1A 2.5 KDR is is very high for the general Apex community.
Smurfing so you can pub stomp is generally looked at as bad by the community and as a solidly average player I personally hate smurfs. Respawn does want streamers to do their "Bronze to Pred in 1 Stream!!!" content after all so they'll never do anything about it.
Ye and what's the chances of all 3 players being of the same ability and skill level, MMR has ruined this game for me!
