@LaughingSharko No, that's not what i'm complaining about.
For example, my brother and his friends are gold/plats and why should they have to play in some of my lobbies that are sometimes 80% master/pred trails just because i'm on their team. The chances of me winning are stacked against me if i'm premade with them or low levels team mates solo que. Not a good experience for everyone involved forcing me to team up with people my rank or skill level turning it into a sweat fest anyway.
I sometimes want to chill in the game too and have the time and effort i put in to improving be reflected in my games performance.
This is my first BR in a long line of FPS games and prior to Apex, we would manually join a server and either be stomped, it be reasonably balanced or do the stomping but whatever happened the server would evolve or we would change servers always having mixed results but better players on average did better across the board.
That doesn't happen here.
Some players who are bronze or silver are getting more wins on average than master/pred players. How's that fair?

@LaughingSharkoNo but my kdr shouldn't be with 4k hrs put in.
My little brother who's 13 had a similar win rate last season to me and he really struggles in my matches so we don't play Apex together now as it frustrated him.
If you have strict SBMM then people will circumvent and abuse it leading to more smurfs making the problem worse. Just like people knowing they'll struggle getting badges on their main because of SBMM so they try getting them on an alt or keep creating new ones till they do. Keeping them on their main reduces this.
I fully understand where you're coming from and that should be clear from the thread i posted but if you can't see the flip side of genuine issues that in essence are the exact same problems as you that both me and @Axs5626Sxa5001 have expressed then this conversation is pointless.

What can Respawn do to lessen the smurfs without putting a paywall to play the game or just leave it as is? Should SBMM be stricter or just have a totally random MM in pubs?

@LaughingSharkoIt's not about winning all the time, it's about finding a sweet spot that makes the game challenging while still being fun for everyone. My matches used to be like this and at some point it just got crazy hard to the point of getting mentally draining and not fun anymore. I'm getting out classed in lobbies that I clearly shouldn't be in. I'm simply not in a position nor do I care to give up my whole life to play this thing 25/7 like my opponents seemingly are just for the sake of improving to only end up in harder lobbies anyway.
