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,...
I actually believe that their MM itself would be pretty good, what ruins it is that for the sake of fast Q times every MM-variable can be overruled creating very one sided games since on the upper end of the curve there’s obv less players

I’ve been silently reading this thread for a couple of days and finally someone said it. There is MM but its #1 priority is always shorter queue times. It’s quantity over quality.
I’ve made a thread about this exact explanation 3 months ago backed up by developer comments on matchmaking. https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Explaining-how-the-matchmaking-works/m-p/11135552#M193670
