@Axs5626Sxa5001 I could see a revamp to ranked that's really more SBMM based and less points based. I could also see a pubs area that's divided into 2 or 3 groups. pre-mades, partial pre-mades (teams 2 with 1 rando) and solo queuing. If the player population could support a split like that then that might work a tad better.
@DarthValtrex They already somewhat weight sbmm depending on premades. I can tell you the lobbies I'm in get much harder when I have a full team of three. Itempz and jankz have both recently said they notice a difference as well.
@hayhorI think it's averaging of the players skill... When I play with my usual 3 in trios we are in the pred lobbies and it's 6+ pred trails coming out the drop ship. Yet when we play in Duos we might see 1-2 pred trails here and there.
The other 2 players I play with are better than me and I think when its me+them in duos we end up in those weird lobbies that are some place between mid tier and and top tier. But when its 2 preds+me we end up in the top tier lobbies. So it makes sense to me that the skill averaged amongst the team..
It could be pre-made as well. But I've run rounds with other players in full pre-made squads and we don't end up in the Pred Lobbies. It's only when I play with 2 specific friends, for what ever reason when we team we are always in lobbies with 6+ pred trails and almost nothing but diamonds. We are probably the only squad in the lobby that lacks a diamond trail haha
We rarely play in trios anymore for different reasons. Some of it was because the lobbies were definitely hard. Not impossible but difficult.- @DarthValtrex It depends on quite a few things but I know my friends are a similar level to me and when we match up we get quite a few preds and diamonds in the lobby. And we are not that level.
If we do poorly in a few in a row the sbmm then puts us in an easier lobby.
