This game is going to die and it needs too!

Question

How is it so hard to do sbmm? I don't understand why I am consistently going against preds and masters when i'm a gold player at most! i have a .7 Kd i shouldn't be going against people who are 4k 20 bombs all day! how does ea/respawn expect to attract new players when the minute they go into an actual lobby and the people they play against are streamers who play 12+ a day or people who have been playing since launch? Thats like asking a fruit barring tree to grow in a desert!
Then the smurfing as well! Why put it in as a reportable offence under cheating but let the smurfing run rampant!

This is getting so unbelievable old i wish i could get all my money that I've spent on this game back, uninstall it, then wait on another pvp game to come out that has actual sbmm, lower smurf rates, and actually fun to lose in because the person you lost too is on the same skill level as you are and both y'all went from missing 30+ rounds to punching!

Ea was fun when they actually cared about the consumer base and respawn was cool when they shook the pvp field with titan fall!

now both are trash money grabs.

I'm so angry at apex right now. 100% of my deaths are to 3 stack preds. I have demoted out of d4, 3 times now due to this. Like 70% of these preds all cheat too. This game is so dead.

SBMM doesn't exist. The new matchmaking system loads the first 60 people (pubs) who start searching for a match.

I've tested this with many streams featuring very strong players, and I've always ended up in the lobby with them.

This game doesn't have SBMM (if it even existed before). You get teammates with level 50 or 100, and during the game you are killed by someone with 100,000 kills. Just being an average player and winning 1-2 games is enough to find yourself in the same lobby as master/preds players and... lots of cheaters :). Nothing new.

You're not wrong on any of this. Except for one thing. Thinking that you could wait on another pvp game with actual sbmm, lower smurfing, no cheaters, and actual fun. You'll die waiting for that. That game might have existed a decade ago, but now? The cheat industry would destroy it out of the gate.
