Seen it before... Company wants higher player retention so they seek to protect the newbs. SBMM is such a protection. More newbs stay for longer, the stats say so, the game must be healthier! We have extended the product life cycle, right?!
Wrong!!!
You've alienated your players who want to have fun and enjoy the time honoured tradition of pub stomping with friends. You've made a game that has ranked and ranked match making.. one just comes with points and the other doesn't.
And the truth is, the tail wags the dog. Your experienced players will lose interest and the bottom will slowly fall out from underneath you. Meanwhile, those newbs eventually get better anyway over time, and eventually reach the same conclusion as the prior experienced players.
The tail wags the dog.
Please remove sbmm from unranked. Leave sweat games for ranked mode.

@o-Talzy-oAs a Newb Im Happy with SBMM, I mean not everyone Im matched against are Nubs Ive seen plenty of 6K kill champions today but not 25k kill players like others have said on here I did weeks ago but its usually 6k ish and under for me and Im fine with that i still lose quite a bit but win sometimes aswell as they say you can’t win them all
Also I havn’t seen many predators, only a Diamond Trail occasionally

Would you consider yourself a “newb”also? i mean you’re doubting your own skills since being placed with others in your skill level is hard for you

in all honesty i don’t even think SBMM is working in first place - i meet people WAY above and below my skill in every single game
next thing is - i agree that since we already have ranked mode with SBMM in place, there is literally no reason to mess around with pubs

So you are upset because the game is no longer easy for you and you only find joy in sealclubbing noobs?
Sir let me say, that you defenitly do not represent all experienced players!
Some of em are more ambicious and like a hard fight on the same level.
For now I really do not feel a huge difference to be honest!
Some squads die fast, some do not and some beat you.
The brackets still seem to be wide enough.
It feels balanced to me...

@GucciiWallet Not going to fan the flames for you.
It's not that I want to own noobs all day long, it's that when sbmm is removed we have a better mix: some pro, some good, some okay and others bad. This makes it more fun because as an above average player you can have it all - kills, intense fights and fun moments.
When an essentially ranked (without points) system is put into play you strip away alot of fun elements to the match, which leaves just the challenging aspects.
Problem is we already have a challenged queue, ranked with points. So now we have two queues, exactly the same, one with and the other without points. But the match making is the same... (Assuming it is).
People enjoy games more when they do well. After you win 100 times over, winning is important but not the soul of the game. The soul is trying to beat your own records, usually kills, or 'get on a roll' with some friends.
Having two queues essentially creating the same sweat fest gameplay damages the soul of the game.

99% of the people on Reddit and this forum agree sbmm should be changed or removed entirely.
I've stopped playing pubs completely
I play 1/10 of what I used to and only ranked
Waiting for the next decent fps game
I will not spend another dime and I tell my friends not to spend either since respawn refuses to listen at all. I'll be really curious when their revenue numbers come out

I was ill for two weeks. On 5th December i logged in to apex legends and just want to play a few random rounds. Iam a platinum III player and i only get diamond and predators in the enemy squads. Its very frustating! We have a ranked mode, so why we need a sbmm in random games.
I play Apex since it was released, but when they dont fix the sbmm iam going to quit.
