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 pla...

@PeterN_UKMine hovers around 8-10% overall it's down right now because I'm trying to get used to the paddles on an elite controller.
I realize that's way above average but my KD is below average. But I play extremely aggressively so I get knocked/eliminated frequently and have to be respawned. I'm also typically the player who rushes into a fight and gets 2 or 3 people down to one shot, I get knocked and my teammates clean up.
Perhaps I do belong in those lobbies, but the teammate I had did not.
@hayhor I did not have much of a choice my teammate dropped there. I don't think he was aware. I don't mind dropping on Predators or Diamonds, we do occasionally eliminate them. But I knew on drop, if my teammate was not above average we would not walk out.
I have watched your clips and honestly, your team plays really really well. You're all working together and really using the abilities together as a team. So it does not surprise me you have a 12% win rate.
@DarthValtrex Just play casual, i think the issue is within your mindset. You should have known the risk for playing aggressive. I have around 400 avg damage and always hot dropping asap in pubs. If i saw a preds or masters's trail in my lobby, i go straight hunting them down. This is the only way, honestly speaking, to be a better player which is against a better team or players. I dont care about winning or dying in early stage as long as it's pub.
Unpopular opinion, SBMM really helps me to be a better player as a solo player. I used to have <0.7 KDR in season 2 and even worse in Season 1 or 0. But now i have >1.3 KDR and bunch of 3k badges. So playing aggressive in pubs and against those preds or masters really help me out. If i may give you some advises, keep your aggressive play-style and improve your positioning in pubs, winning in pubs is not worthy 😉

- @SobatRosul Same boat here. I had around 0.7-0.8 k/d in s1 and s2. Apex was my first FPS game/I was new to gaming anyways. Never watched any stream or youtube videos up until S3.
Currently sitting at 1.25. Avg dmg 390ish. Aggressive/semi-aggressive play is the way to go, loot goblins can keep looting. My win rate is 5 % so yeah not a lot of wins under my belt lol.- @BaldWraithSimp My kd my first season was like .3 🤣 I didnt play these types of games. Was rough.
- @hayhor Oh yeah my first season.. Friend gives me a digi threat so I can see what I'm shooting at. I accidentally swap it for a 3x on a 301... Oh the struggles that happened that first season.
It was brutal..I'd warn my teammates, so uh I'm not any good.. That means think of the worst player you have played with, I'm 10x worse.
