Every [Edit - Admin.] game I gety 2 * teammates below lvl 50. I have tons of hours in this * game and constantly lose because for some * reason SBMM decides that I need 2 new players but enemies need to scale to my level so pred squads while I get * * teammates. Who's * bright Idea was this??? I can barely play this * game anymore. You HAVE to have a 3 stack team just to playa * casual game. Respawn and EA don't do *. At least add [Edit - Admin.] solos for * sake not everyone is a * streamer who plays with their streamer friends all * day. This is * ridiculous Im done with this * game with * devs who dont listen to the community and only push skins and cater to new * players. Well * done guys. S4 is TRASHH.

I'd rather get teamed with some noobs than run into 3 TTVers with 100K kills between them every match. Bring back SBMM

Matchmaking does appear to be completely screwed up atm.
Yesterday I was playing with 2 friends, and every match was a turkey shoot; opponents were hopeless.
Then 1 of those friends swapped out for another, and it immediately turned into a sweat fest.
Later we dropped down to a duo, and actually had some strong solo randoms and good high tier games.
After that I played a few solo matches, and it was a toxic clusterfcuk; complete noob teammates Vs stacked predator squads.
WTF is going on with casual MM?!?!
If it exists, it's worse than useless.

Agreed, though different problem for me. I play with two mates and two of us are pretty average only making mid silver last season, one is a good player diamond last season. Previously if we wanted a tough game we played ranked, and it was hard. If we wanted a fair game we played normal, and we got matched onna balance between the 3 of us, players were tougher than two of us, but worse than one, and we'd have good games, occasionally winning.
Now it's furked. Cannot play ranked together. Apex normal is match making based on the best players rank it seems, and we're up against great players: two of us have no chance, generally leaving our good player on his own vs awesome squads. What was very enjoyable to play as a team of friends us now just painful.
I then hop off in frustration, go and play ranked on my own, and have a good time: setup just against players of my level. So bizarrely a game that used to be great for mates to play together us now better played alone?!
Tldr match making is driving friend groups of different skill levels apart, which could kill this game. Please go back to the old way of matching teams in basic Apex!

I hated the SBMM in its state around new year but now I actually think its kinda balanced tbh. I am Diamond, about 2.6 K/D overall and if I just stay on the drop ship to last and watch the drop trails in a normal casual match, I would estimate that 10-15% of the players have predator trails, 40% have diamond trails and the rest normal trails. So I think thats a totally fair match up for my skill level.
Anyhow; what we know from experience is that most of these highly skilled players usually like to jump early in the flight path. So if you choose to also jump early, you will ofc have a very sweaty fight in front of you. I hope people take this into consideration before they draw conclusions about their "stacked lobbies" and "unfair matchmakings". And for the record; I also jump early almost every single casual game, but at least Im aware of what that means in terms of my competition for the first fights =)
