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...

And no I don't really find it annoying, it's a battle Royale and most people are playing to win and trying their best. That doesn't mean i can't mess around and have a good time, i just won't be playing to win
Everything you're saying is pointing towards you wanting to pub stomp and not face similar skilled opponents

But I said earlier that's exactly not what I want?
And I said that I want similar skilled oppenents?
In my lobbies i'm the one who get's pub stomped?
- @mikkeltorne1 you wont get similar skilled opponents, that was just a phony marketing lie from Respawn ... it simply doesnt work that way bcs itztimmy and alike would have to wait 30mins+ for a match ... and thats bad advertisement for the game.
I qoute the infamous Matchmaking blogpost :
"To be fair, the following is not exactly what happens in the actual algorithm, since we also need to consider queue times and other variables outside of skill rating."
Since those "other variables" never got explained, it leaves the door wide open for a rigged matchmaking speculations (eg. pay to win, stream to win, you name it).
Also the well know internet fact plays a role here : if somethings is free to play/use ... you are most likely the product !

Hopefully It can't get any worse...right? What was the problem with the old sbmm system? I remember the games in pubs being much more enjoyable in season 1-10 then now.
But of course, tap strafing, wall jumping and so on was not that prominent in the game.
@mikkeltorne1no it wont get any worse than it is now (at least for some people).
i say some people, bcs its not the same for everyone, thats where those other variables kick in ... in comparison with a friend who spend way more money than me on Apex (about 10-15 times), he got the "easier" lobbies, might be just coincidence but it has the smell of PTW.
For me ranked atm is like (around 85-90% of the time): play against at least 4 masters full stacks (and that are surely not the S12/S17 fake masters, those players would not be masters by now) and me (silv1 atm) having at least one rookie4 (no smurf they really are not skilled in any way ... i know bcs i use an overwolf plugin to show me the lobby distribution and my mates stats and i see how they behave ingame) which makes for a pretty "fair" matchmaking ... as my name says ... its just a rigged show ...
but the remaining 10% of the games kinda make it worth playing ... those matches are mostly fun, even without getting to win but the experience of a functional team despite being put together "randomly" has smth really special.
and yea i would even say with Crossplay (S7) came the downfall, before that it was just a really good game, even playing with randoms was a good experience most of the time, people werent that toxic back then and you likely met people you invited onto your friendslist , but thats rare nowadays due to being put together in a toxic composition most of the time
