The sbmm is the worst of those problems

I said why i complain. Almost all of my matches i get paired with people below lvl 150, guys who get downed instantly in their first battle, they dont know how to play or move and im not a predator to carry them all the game. Im so tired and frustrated and im not the only One with This problem. Rumors uhh?

I couldnt agree more.. When did Respawn even claim that casual mode is using a matchmaking that supposedly puts equally skilled player in the same lobby? I never even once saw them say this. So unless Ive missed something, It seems to me that people are assuming the matchmaking is skilled based based on false rumors, most likely spread on this forum =)
And even if there is a matchmaking that at some extent uses "skill" as a variable for creating lobbies, we certainly never got any information how much "skill" affects the matchmaking. Seems to me that the SBMM complainers just want easier lobbies so they can feel better.

@NolanGraysonnnIf you think that getting paired with lvl 50s almost every game i play and seeing how they are instantly knocked with 0 damage or 50 at most is funny then we have a different point of view of whats funny. I play to have fun, i dont care dying if the game and squad is interesting and has value, but dying game after game just to see my guys are a pair of noobs that die just after landing or in their first fight? Thats not funny man. Those guys should be playing guys their lvl and i should be playing guys my lvl.

The reason why you are able to carry your two random teammates that are worse than you is because most of the enemies are as bad as your teammates. People always conveniently forget this when they are complaining about the matchmaking. SKILL IS RELATIVE. I out-damage my random teammates in like 9/10 matches but the reason for this is because the opponent I fight often ALSO is worse than me, just like my teammates.
So if you wish for better teammates, you must realize this would also must mean better opponents and if you think you would do much better in a lobby with 59 other people around your own skill level, I think you are wrong. If you hypothetically got matched with and against 59 EXACTLY equally skilled teammates and enemies and played "a huge number" of matches, you all would end up with about 1 K/D and a win rate of 5% (1/20).
Empirically, I would rather say that the causal matchmaking is rather non-existing, i.e. it will pretty much create lobbies randomly from all the players available. This means that the average match lobby will have a skill distribution similar to that of the overall player skill distribution which with almost 100% certainty is normal distributed (bell curved), probably with a surprisingly low mean value. I wouldn't be surprised at all that the average K/D is like 0.8 or something like that.
TL;DR: So IF you are skilled above average, it will consequently feel like your teammates are generally worse than you and you have to carry, but never forget that many of the enemy players are as bad as your teammates, and that is the reason why you can "carry" and deal 2000+ dmg and rack up 6-15 kills in a single game.

If you really believe that do the following...
1. Create smurf account.
2. Crush the nubs and get 3+ KD by level 10-15
3. Queue up and pay * attention
Or
1. Do the same thing but reverse boost to level 15
2. Pay * attention
SBMM in apex exists without a doubt. If you're not experiencing it the same way most do, be grateful and politely stop talking.
