Will they ever fix season 18 SBMM issues?
Will we have to wait til next season or do we think super hard sweaty lobbies are now here to stay?

I’m getting 4k 20 Bomb teammates 99/100 games. Both teammates. The wait times are between 4 and 8 minutes for a pub match, but that’s what’s happening.
And unfortunately, the outcomes are still not good because we’re fodder for the top players. This was semi-acceptable when the algorithm gave easier lobbies after losses, but that been eliminated. You don’t get easier lobbies after bad performances ( I know this because I’ve tested it; 200 intentional consecutive losses with under 50 damage and early elimination. Lobbies remain the same).
Are you not getting Masters and Preds as teammates?

@Axs5626Sxa5001 I'm not at that level so no I get people that do 40 damage when I gave 1800.
- @hayhor Yikes. So what do your lobbies look like now in:
-Solo queue
-Queue with similarly skilled friends
It seems that buckets still remain but they have increased the number of buckets and reduced/ eliminated downward mobility down the matchmaking ladder.- @Axs5626Sxa5001 Solo is a mixed bag roller coaster. I honestly think there are a lot of fake masters that have been moved to my lobbies. I've always believed that max rank has an affect on MM and that masters badge is hitting some people hard this season. But those people are being protected from your lobbies.
My games with friends are the lobbies you describe. Full of super players and 3 stacks. Those games are rough but because I'm with people I vibe it can work.
