You can roll out the matchmaking changes any time now, Respawn

I'm down for any changes. It has got to be better than the rage inducing,, sweat fest my brother and I experienced last night. Admittedly neither of us are great and I think the assumption that prem...

@HappyHourSumwur The SBMM is so bad in this game I honestly thought it couldn’t get worse…..I was very very wrong! If I play with my two brothers (we’re all old and average at the game) we get rolled every match by pre-made squads of masters and diamonds constantly, even preds show up to reem us occasionally. We even flicked over to ranked because we haven’t played in ages, thinking we’d have some enjoyable matches down in bottom bronze….ha! It’s worse, how is that even possible in a mode designed to show true skill, the match ups weren’t even close, and don’t get me started on smurfs because that situation is out of control and a stain on Respawns ability/wish to do anything about it. Seeing a champ squad of lvl 20’s who you meet in match only to find them move and shoot like fps gods is common place now apparently!

    @IdleHandsNo1 Premades with large skill gaps get the short end of it, by far. They take the skill rating of the highest rated player to find a lobby for the party. I'm OK with that if the skill gap is somewhat small, but when you have a skilled player with a new player, the whole thing goes to hell. Premade duos get the worst of it over premade trios, too. You get a random plus they take your higher skill rating of the 2. Just bad all around.

      All this time and effort to tweak, adjust, changing the way calcuating whom should match with who.

      So much easier to give people what they want and simpler solution that never needs to adjusted or maintained ever again.

      1. Turn off EOMM, SBMM whatever want to call it.

      2. Separate premade squads trio/duo queue from random duo/trios queue.

      Let the random match making happen by itself. No need to create any complex system.

      Why work harder when can work smarter right...
