The changes to SBMM are just plain bad
Putting people who have KD's of .8 and average damage numbers below 300 against players who have 2+ KD's and 600+ average damage numbers is just not fun.
This is going to run the mid-low skill player population out of the game. They can't compete, they can't have fun and they can't enjoy the game. It's an absolutely horrible experience to get instantly melted by someone while you sit there twiddling your thumbs, never firing your gun. What makes it worse is you spend 5-10+ minutes looting and the first fight you get into you're instantly destroyed. People will get bored of the game if they can't have at least some success with engagements and get some kills. Where is the fun if majority of their game play is looting, then getting melted by the first squad they bump into?
It's not practice for the mid-low skill players. They won't get better at the game and many just quit. I'm solo queuing and just got matched with a player who had a KD of .5 and average damage below 150. We had 1 predator pre-made and 2 diamond premades drop to our location. He got dropped almost instantly and I did not fair much better. Even if I had teammate who was similar skilled to me, there is no way we would have won the fight. I spectated the predator duo who killed us they finished the round with 18 and 25 kills, none had their shields broke the entire round. It was absolutely pathetic. They killed over half the server without having their armor broken... Let that sink in..
He sent me an invite and I played two more rounds with him with the same experience before I closed the game and left. I'm not going to be a punching bag that high skill players can use to "relax" or have a good time with. That's like putting a heavy weight MMA Champ such as Stipe Miocic up against lightweight amateur MMA fighter who's had a week of training. Then claiming it's so the heavy weight champ can relax and have fun.
Respawn is going to run off the mid-low skill player population if they keep with this.
The top 500 players or even Master and Predator players typically have a large soap box to complain from because they typically have a decent following. Their followers then spout off the same complaints, not realizing that they are often and ultimately making the game more difficult for themselves.
