@TheJumpingJawaI agree ive never done ranked much but did til gold when it first came out because I wanted the badge to match the R-301 I feel like I would probally fall into higher gold lower to mid plat area if I did try it i feel like im getting matched with diamond/predators after SBMM and I can’t enjoy the game anymore I enjoyed SBMM last week but after the xmas update something changed and now everyones way beyond my skill level ive got a hell of alot of wins (as champion) in the new event mode if that has anything to do with it atleast 15-25 ish idk if those wins upped my rank or not but I just know it was fine before the xmas update then i didnt do pubs for days I just grinded the xmas event first night i got to 19/75 the badge is now 63/75 im gonna finish it on wednesday night anyways after 3 days at the event i went back to pubs to see all these players with 50-250+ Season 3 wins -.- like tf and thousands of kills the games unplayable now and thats all I know
those 50-250 wins are on 1 character... I dont even have 50 yet with all my characters combined, im close 44/50 but its the point I can’t compete with these players then they all got 20 kill badges 4k damage badges and i dont even have a 2k badge i only have 2 of those apex predator win as kill leader badges

This is really something. Thanks for JiboTV for clearly stating your thoughts. I have read all your comments/replies. It seems to me that you are really putting effort to this and you would like to see the whole player base to be happy and enjoyin this great game.
Many other comments are also having good points and they point out how player feel and how things have evolved.
I am a gutter tier player. This is the first and only FPS and also battle royal game that I have ever played online. I have slowly but steadily gotten better (this might be actually happening since all my stats have gone up a bit from s1 to s3).
This matchmaking have been positive change my gaming experience when I solo que. Not sure but perhaps it's because I played not so great when starting this game therefore my stats what I have don't match my skills anymore. Don't know does this sound really stupid but I can really see and feel the difference compared to previous seasons.
When I play solo que now I will get to top 5 so often it is starting to feel..well odd. Even more staggering to me is this kill leader status that I have gained in multiple games in this season!! Freakin cool! In season 1 and 2 this was rare as eclipse of the sun.
The point that I am after is that we can definetly have a game wich includes mainly good gaming exprerience for everyone. This feat need to be accomplished tough and I think EA Respawn is trying to do so. These post here might give some insight to their devs what we gamers think about the current meta and state of the game. And surely if posts are like this something can really happen. This thread is actually worth reading.
"Imagine if we were all ranked by numbers ranging from 1-100, players rank 30 or below would be matched to players of a similar skill level, but once you reach any ranking above 30, you would match with anyone within the range of ranks 31-100." This sounds pretty solid solution to this matchmaking. I think other optimal solution is just go full random in QM. Just ignore all the stats, premades or like so..then we have true QM =). There would definetly be pub stomps but then again you could avoid them by moving to ranked play where you meet up teams with equal skill of yours. Or perhaps you solo que and get lucky and there is 2 predators in your side and you can experience masterclass play in your own game!
Thanks for your post and time ones more!
A bit off topic : I personally think ranked play could be changed. I am having friends that are so much better players compared to me and it is really no point for me to play with them. If I am not totally wrong now the ranked goes like following --> You are bronze and you team mate is ranked higher you go with the higher rank. Right? I would build the ranked mode so that you could team up with predator if you like but then this player would have massive handicap placed upon him like loadout with white shield and p2020 and mozambik ( but no penalties or danger dropping in ranks). Would it be fun to see how much more help you need to get to down these players?

@JiboTVHe asked me personally, I answered with my view. I see no issue here. But it's pretty ironic that he was "punished" with a win. Also, talking about "zoo predators" isn't at all off topic. It's the SBMM that brings them out. People are crying about k/d ratios falling around here as well.
I'd like to see people bringing queue numbers into the discussion. If a queue is 60-100, SBMM can barely have any influence. To fill a lobby with those 0.2% top players. the queue needs to stay around 30.000 at any given moment. But with queue numbers dozens to hundreds of times smaller, SBMM is barely able to separate beginners from the high skilled players.

Thanks for bringing in some realism into this discussion!
And what makes me wonder the most is:
If their K/D has dropped, and their winrate and and and
WHY DO THEY STILL GET 100% BETTER OPPONENTS?
If they play bad, the system downgrades them automatically to lower level.
But they still pretend they get the same difficult level...
I DO NOT BELIEVE THEM!
This all all useless crying of 1% of the active players...
99% are ok with the game...
Time to close this whinethreads!

@LittumulkeroI was feeling exactly like you did over the last few weeks, I was already used to being top 5 most games, but being the kill leader every now and then was something I was never used to getting an even winning the game as kill leader was a new experience for me getting the badges on 2 legends, But by no means was I kill leader every game maybe 1 in 30 games,1 in 50 idk for whatever reason as @DoYaSeeMe says in the next post Higher ranks must not have enough queue members or something because now Im getting queued with Diamond/Predators every match and Now I hate the game and ready to quit, Im pretty much dead weight on my teamates shoulders now (literally) I can’t do any damage in these lobbys and spend more time being carried (literally in a banner card) then playing the game
These Diamond/Predator Players arn’t the friendliest either and get frustrated and resort to saying how trashy you are and to quit the game
‘’congrats you did nothing this round good job’’
Im not able to play the game anymore with all these players with 4k damage badges, 20 kill badges, and all those other badges I don’t have, (I only have 2 kill leader badges (i may of already said this idk) My K/D has always been trash af now its 0.32 I got like 1,634 kills total between all legends and last time I checked 4,994 deaths lmfao so ya the games unplayable for me now
So I might end up quitting because of the current state of the game
SBMM is working great in those lower level areas, but wherever tf my ‘’get lucky a game’’ and get stuck with players way beyond my skill level, my area is pretty * up and needs fixed soon or Im gone
I can’t do full Diamond/Predator Lobbies, Ive even seen level 30s in the same lobby I think this also ties into @DoYaSeeMe’s next post because theres not enough players to fill the higher levels lobbies so it puts lower; average, mediocre whatever players it can fill in the same lobby as them.... if its going to do this I would rather get rid of SBMM all together and go back to 100% random matches ya there was still a team or 2 of predators in evey match but way better than a whole lobby of them...
ive played for over 750+ hours... but Im by no means a pro i wouldnt even say Im that mediocre Im one of those players that may give you a run for your money because I know how to play the game but in the end theres a pretty good 80% chance it will end with me dead because my aims still trash I usually get carried but occasionally I may carry my teammates but thats pretty uncommon most games I get carried or do about the same damage as they do which isn’t much maybe we all get champion with 3-4 kills each or so

I ve tried the Cycle, too!
It has some PvE elements, but PvP is deffinitly strong in the game!
Maybe it's the game for you FallenAngel777.
AFAIK there is no MM just pure random!
