This game isnt fun anymore.

it's annoying frustrating and down right how dumb it is how you have seen us  endlessly and tirelessly complain about the SBMM and you just wont listen...why just simply why... is it because you or i...

@hayhori believe SBMM is the same for ranked and pubs the only difference that it's not matching people with less that 1 .5 tier from each others .
if you are not facing try hard lobbies much then take advantage of it because it will not last long , i don't know whats your states but am very sure it's not that easy for me .
very near example just yesterday i was playing alone and i can say it was ok then my friend sent me a msg asking me if i wanna play so i said fine .
he joined my party and we ready up , champion squad screen is up and guess what .....boom triple preds and one guy had 29000 kills on lifeline which is more than all three of us  combined.
so that was a bad luck or what ????
if it's bad luck then why it happened again and again and again after that and only when someone joined my party which by the way he started playing the game last season only and he still lvl 150 +

@maximas1986 Pubs Sbmm isn't the same as ranked. Why would Respawn do that? I think any player who has been playing for a long time can tell how the difficulty decreases/increases with your performance(minus the top players ofc) and ofc it isn't much forgiving for pre-made teams too.
I think I have noticed lobbies of 4 different levels at least. Predator lobbies, diamond lobbies, average player lobbies, and then the lowest tier bot(newbies I mean) lobbies.

    @BaldWraithSimp i will not disagree , but then i want to ask why i always have preds in my lobby and if not a pred then i will have at least two or three squads of masters .
    there is no match that i play where i don't see these red trails falling from the sky and am not even above average player , and it becomes even worse if i have a friend in my party regardless of his lvl,skill or KDR
    and to me at least there is no difference between pubs and ranked as i see the same type of players in both .
    in the end am not asking not to play with high skilled player and am against that other wise there is no fun and no room to level up my skills ( if i have any ) 🙂 ,what am asking for is to have people get matched with team mates who have the same skill,KDR,win lose ratio or whatever it is
    because what is happening now is forcing one player in the team to carry the other two all the time .
    isn't that exhausting and frustrating??
    are we here to have fun or to be held responsibility to carry someone else

    ok......lets turn it around , if a predator player get matched with two others like me and in that lobby have two or three predator squads wouldn't that be exhausting and frustrating to him as he have two teammates who is unable to catch up with him and he have to carry both of them

      @maximas1986 You've missed some of the points here but I'll answer one of your questions- I'm an average player with a KD that hovers in the .9s but who typically wins at a 10% rate. This season I am now 12 to 13% I believe. I play with a person who's KD is 1.3. Combined, due to the sbmm we always have predators and masters in our lobbies and our 3rds are almost always garbage. I get games where the champion squad has 90000 kills and thousands of season wins combined. I do not worry about them tho as a lot of times they drop hot and die. The key is we do not jump with the preds or super players.

      Sbmm is not the same as ranked. I've been playing this since the beginning and it is obvious from my matches.

      @maximas1986 Actually, I am not a fan of SBMM either. If I win a game, I get dumped into the predator lobbies only to get my arse kicked fair and square. And I rarely get good teammates(like ever). So I can feel your frustration on so many levels xD. I get lobbies of different skill levels, but teammates are always bad. I have a 1.2 k/d, which ofc is a bit lower than yours. I am totally in for a complete overhaul of pubs SBMM. I agree with your point about getting matched with good teammates for once. Come on Respawn!
