Solo queue better than pre-made party
I play Apex with my brother and the experience is worse than solo queuing. It really is only enjoyable for us to play together about 20% of the time. I just don't understand why Apex can't tell wh...

Watching conversations here and on reddit, it sounds like this season, at least, is extremely rough in the lower ranks.
@pandareno1999 Honestly, Bronze was worse than Gold. I tried it thinking I'd have a shot and got absolutely obliterated in my first match. Rolled up on by a team that literally didn't miss shots. We died in milliseconds. Was pretty much that same thing all the way into Silver where it got a little better.
The smurfing was absolutely horrible. No WAY real noobs are that good.

- @HappyHourSumwur I agree ranked is way more difficult now compared to before. Smurfs are everywhere in bronze-silver too. Hope that they do some changes for ranked. I want them to increase the level requirement to at least 50 and have an overhaul of the RP system.

Honest question: Where do you think you rank in regarding skill in the ENTIRE community, percentage wise.
For reference, the average player is at the 50% mark. What percentage are you?
Furthermore, what do you think an “average” player’s performance and outcomes should be? The average player currently wins about 3-5% of their matches. I would argue that having a KD of around 1 is what the average player has. But the game is complex and overall skill isn’t directly captured by one stat.
I ask these questions to many people because it forces them to consider how SBMM “should” work in their mind.
I know people that think SBMM should be looser in pubs, where players of all skill play each other and the better players have better outcomes. Conversely, I know people that think that everyone should always and only play their current equal; these people believe players should all struggle equally at all times regardless of skill.What are your thoughts?
The figure for "average" KDR in this game is typically given at around .7 or so.
- @Axs5626Sxa5001 I honestly think I'm below average. My KDR in ranked is around 0.4 and overall for the season it is 0.79 and going down slowly. Even if you show me stats though, it won't change how I feel about getting melted regularly while struggling to do the same to enemies myself. At times I feel like I'm 1 or 2 bullets or keystrokes away from winning the fights I lose. Other time I feel like I'll never get any better so I should just quit.
