So where do i start.
That my friends cant even play with cause they cant get good at the game cause we are playing vs predator and diamond even in pubs ? They dont like the game they call it trash not bcs of the shooting or the movement or anything like that but every time they try to play they get destroyed by a guy that has 10k kills and im not joking for saying that but i feel bad for being good at the game its not fun for me either even if i go solo i will tryhard my * off cause im a not predator tier guy.
Ranked is easier than pubs try and change my opinion on that.
Smurfing works till you get a high kill game then after that pubs go from bronze tier level to predator tier level.
So even if play solo or with friends it doesnt matter at all
if i want to chill and play i cant. I need to tryhard so i get some fun of the game and dont get me wrong some times i like to tryhard BUT when im coming home from work and im tired af ofc i dont want to tryhard my * off.
Only me and one friend still play the game but i've gone from 8-10 hours of gameplay(yeah i know thats a lot but i really loved the game) to 1-2 and thats saying a lot.
and yeah i played this game since season 0.
And dont get me wrong i dont want to play with bronze and lvl tens and my lobby to be 99% bronze players but i dont want to have my game feild with diamonds and predators
Lost story short i miss the randomness.
So that was all i have to say i know its will not chance anything but still i needed to write that.

I don't know what the bar is for "figuring out a game's competitive Rank system" but... I'll say that you'll need to have patience for a new competitive system. Anyone who talks about competitive gameplay will attempt to crucify the entire system until things feels right.
Don't leave, play a few games and continue to talk bout it. I don't like the new SBMM system. A lot of players don't actually and I am certain that they are aware. Perhaps an announcement needs to be made or perhaps they think it is perfectly fine based on statistical data but what ever the excuse... try to be vocal any way you can. We all will. The system needs to be improved by a lot.

@xFalseLightsxI think as far as apex is concerned about ‘’statistical data’’ they see a rise in ‘’new players’’ after sbmm was introduced and that is what they wanted however they don’t realize the majority of these ‘’new players’’ are actually smurf accounts so they probally think its doing wonders for the game when in reality its not
I admit I have got more season 3 wins this season compared to the last 2 seasons so sbmm does help in a way but even in my lobbys (new players like level 8-30+ to players with 8-10k ish kills and a decent ammount of win sometimes 150+ I miss the randomness as apex used to be, it sucked dying alot but tbh I still die alot now so I don’t really see a difference in the terms of dying, I never got many kills and I still don’t get many kills maybe I pop off and get 8-9 kills in 1 game out of 50 or 100 but other than that it all seems about the same
The only main difference Ive noticed are the teammates I always end up with are usually the same people....I may see the same player 3 times in one day... and thats usually not a good thing in most cases, it just isnt as fun as it used to be when it was entirely random, one match I may be with an apex predator and the next match I may be with a bronze it never really matterred tbh, but for some reason I literally get 2 bronze or Im assuming to be bronze on my team every game and then the champion squad is some obvious stacked premade team and that is what ruins SBMM for me the way it distributes players in the lobby, most matches my teammates leave as soon as we land and they die I do myself from time to time so I don’t blame them SBMM gets frustrating and I have seen alot more players leaving since SBMM ruined the game... I just wish we had solos because it seems the only time I actually enjoy sbmm matches are when im alone vs 3 people or Im in a duo vs 3 people because theres only one other person to worry about and you usually do great together, but literally 9/10 matches as 3 vs 3 the matches are just awful and I have more fun being solo doing my own thing and goofing off
Occasionally I get a pro as a teammate and they just solo the whole lobby like its nothing but most of the time its some toxic nubs, I rarely get 2 teammates who are actually around my skill not pro but not noob either and we actually have a great game and end up equal in kills and damage but thats only like a team a day if lucky and Im someone who plays apex probally 14+ hours or so some days lmao so ya most lobbys are trash and I have more fun being semi solo, I stay with my team in most cases but just do it my way and thats the only way I can have fun anymore since EA won’t give us Solos...., teammates usually get angry I didn’t do a stupid play and die instantly like they but thats one of the many things Ive learned is to do the game your way and worry about your team later theres usually plenty of time to revive or recover banners etc
