Respawn... EA... whoever is in charge of this, for the love of this game, please put it back to the way it was, I don't know if it's SBMM like everybody says but public matches are completely unplayable, I want to be able to relax and not try hard at least once a day, I've been playing since launch but less and less this season, there are no more regular players as champions, they're all people with 16k + kills, the best badges in the game, sometimes following people's trails (including mine) to destroy us, I admire how good they are, but this is causing people to create smurfs and to abuse those bronze IV accounts to shred people on pre-diamond ranked lobbies, I've seen this happen a lot before I reached Diamond, and the thing is, diamond lobbies are actually sometimes easier than pubs, but I don't want to play it without premades because I'd lose a lot of points if anything went wrong. Randomized is a lot better, we all know preds are the minority so it really sucks that they're in every game I play, SBMM should only be a thing if there wasn't any RNG involved.

6 games in a row now i get put in a team with random players that have no clue what they're doing..not the first time this happens. 'Skill based match making'.. not really.. it's either a team of 2 that only plays together.. which should be a report option since they refuse to help a teammate and always run off together. Or you deal with people that have 0 clue what they're doing. I don't mind playing with new people or bad players unless it's constantly the same story. For some reason especially the last 2-3 days I've been teamed up with clueless people. Please fix your system.. it can stay skill based but that's not what this is. - FYI this is exactly what happened just now again.. team of 2 not helping. Make it a report option pls kthx.

That's definitely the worst part, it's like the game has a preassumption that you can easily beat pred squads by yourself, the fact being that your other 1/2 randoms have just started playing the game and don't know what they're doing
