The SBMM complainers
How can playing lobbies knowing the instant you go in the odds give 40 guys you kill easy 10 you will have a fair fight with and 10 you already know beat you be a good thing? SBMM gives you a chance...

SBMM sets out to create a safe space for new players to play without getting murdered by experienced players. That fair and well intended, but it’s going to result in a troubling landscape. If the SBMM algorithm continues to pair us with opponents of equal or better skill, then literally everyone will end up playing sweaty matches, all of the time.
High skill players vs High skill players = sweat
Low skill players vs Low skill players = sweat
Now that’s fine if its an isolated game mode, but forcing EVERY lobby into a sweat fest means that Apex can only offer players stressful experiences. I like stressful games, but I don’t want EVERY game to be stressful— do you? Does anyone? A good game should give us options, no? Without the option to play “casually”, people are going to occupy themselves with other games that offer less stressful options.
This is a competitive pvp game, matches should be sweaty. No matter how good you are, you shouldn't just be able to mow down everyone you see while chilling. If high skill players have the time to play to reach that level of skill, let them play against everyone else who does that.
Low skill vs low skill is never going to be sweaty, if you enjoy playing a game and want to get better you never think "oh man I hope I'm going to fight only noobs" no, you just hope you don't get into lobbies with people who play 4x more in a single day than you do 7/7 days a week when you can play only 4/7.
It's only the top tier players who won't have as amazing content to brag about that ever complain about sbmm.
All this considering there is a proper, unexploitable sbmm in place. A badly implemented sbmm, such as level based mm completely messes everything up. Then a streamer or content creator just makes a new account and dominates everyone, yet again, destroying the chances of normal players to learn the game. The smurf will only ever worry about people of the same skill, never higher, while new players worry about people with much, much more skill than them, only due to time spent playing video games, not actual talent.
Low skill vs low skill isn’t going to be sweaty? Sure it is.
The measure of how sweaty a game is, or how competitive a game is, is contingent on the skill gap between the teams.
If said skill gap is minimal— which SBMM sets out to achieve, then EVERYONE is placed in a competitive match.
- @Axs5626Sxa5001 I’m not saying low skill vs low skill is not sweaty for low skill players. But low skill players make bone head mistakes.. things like going for revives when they need to be finishing off the final enemy squad member. Higher skill players won’t do that..
@Axs5626Sxa5001You literally want to noob bash and bully.. i’m absolutely amazed you have a degree in psychology. You sound like the school yard bully.
