Why is apex sbmm so bad?
Apex is a fun game, don't get me wrong, but the matchmaking is terrible. Like god awful! Its supposedly "skillbased", but its not. I'm a level 60 something, and i'm put against level 500, 20k+ kills,...

That’s funny. SBMM works perfectly for me. I can win my matches up until Masters then I hit a brick wall.
My pubs would make the majority of you uninstall Apex. I literally only play Masters/Preds and I simply can’t win consistently. Win percentage currently sitting at 1.4%.
Fun. Marxism is great.
@Axs5626Sxa5001youre reply is literally a contradiction lmfao.
SBMM works for me, and then i hit a wall. If SBMM worked, you wouldnt hit a wall.
No, it doesnt change because youre a higher rank. They seperate masters and preds for a reason. If sbmm worked, EVERYONE would have a 50% winrate, except for freaks of nature and organized teams. Thats how the mechanic is designed to work.
also your comment about my pubs would make you uninstall, shows that youre a liar or 12. We dont care

It’s pretty obvious SBMM works in tiers. The highest ELO pub lobbies consist of high diamond to pred. That means Preds typically win these matches and you end up with players with insane win rates. But that also means you’re locking certain players (high-diamond/low-masters) into a scenario where they become fodder for the absolute top players in the world. This is EXACTLY why you have some average level players with higher win rates than people near the top, because some players are almost exclusively playing the top players. Several of my buddies who can’t break out of Plat win more than me.
Look, just because I have and continue to study SBMM across a multitude of accounts doesn’t make me an expert, but please don’t act like I’m not leveraging data and experience to make these claims.
And I stand by my comment about the difficulty of my pubs, because I am confident the MAJORITY of people are not playing in games where one tiny mistake = death. Gold level players exclusively playing against gold level players is NOT the same as Masters/Preds exclusively playing against Masters/Preds; the game plays/feels totally different at this level. if you are going to ask people to play in these difficult pubs, then PLEASE REWARD them for the competence they are demonstrating.
As a fellow Master/Pred player, surely you agree.
