Why is skill based matchmaking nonexistent?
MUT makes it so that the easiest way to get coins is to go in head to head pubs, but why? I mean having less than an 80 overall team and going against someone who has objectively more skill and no wa...

@r4ndwulfswee Personally, I only have terrible matchmaking when I play in a pre-made squad. It seems that the SBMM doesn't work when you are in one. I am sure it will be something fixed in the future, they did a good job with all of the cheaters on console so no reason why they can't fix the matchmaking!
Someone posted these vids in the feedback forum :-

Worth a look, I thought the claims are very interesting

In 2nd video it mentions a developer officially stating there is no EOMM at timestamp 0:55
Then at 1:36 it mentions ELO system. Basically players lose and win hidden points on game outcome to measure skill rating. That means it is measured over several historical games. That is EOMM. Can't rate a person's skill from one game.
Won't be measured by total kills, rank 500 or overall sum of stats.
It is one or more of the below.
KD over last X games
Average damage over last X games
Average kills over last X games
0 kills and 0 deaths
landing off/suicide the map on purpose when you have low rank team mates
etc
Just wish there was visibility what which one(s) above are utilised for calculating skill rating. Perhaps giving this information out would negatively impact by players trying to take advantage or something.
EA's EOMM patent which the developer said is not in use in Apex also lowers your ELO if you have not played for X amount if time in order to make you feel warm to the game again.

For me I feel it does match making based on last around 5 games.
But nevermind SBMM or EOMM etc. As long as I know "how" my rating is calculated it might feel more justified on "why" it is implemented that way.
