@FaIIenAngeI777I just freakin played some matches, EVERY TIME there was about 1/5th of the lobby was diamond premade squads. I'm Honestly so done. It happens almost every game. I'm not good like these players, stop putting me in lobbies with them. And HECK ya know what stop using SBMM on PUBLIC MATCHES. You put in a RANKED mode for a reason right? I'm just so done with apex right now I freaking love everything about this game but getting slapped around by diamonds and predators is not freaking fun. I guarantee you 80 percent of the time those diamond and predator squads win. I've never won against one yet. And im fine with that, i should lose, they're way better than I am. But to have it.EVERY.SINGLE.MATCH. I don't know if you know this respawn but have you ever heard of the hindu caste system? That's what you've done to Public matches. Noobs will forever face noobs, pros will fight pros and stomp out the up an comers who are actually trying to just have a non sweaty match. I'm very angry, But honestly i've had enough, I don't blame my team, i don't blame myself, I blame respawn for implementing such a flawed and terrible match making system, Who the heck even said we needed it? Apex was already outpacing several games I'm just so done. Someone @ Me when they remove SBMM, hopefully by Season 4 and if they don't then I am literally not going to play because it's no longer fun to play anymore.

@CLOWNBOGGI agree literally every match is impossible now Diamond/Predator Premades everywhere then even if there not theres still probally others solo queueing with randoms in the same lobby i probally did 20 games the other night and failed to do more than 50-200 damage in each, next day I only did a few I actually won one with 4 kills and my 2 teammates had 3-4 kills each but we didnt see anyone until the final 4 so we just fought a team and the other 2 teams must of fought it out then tried to 3rd party us I think i only won because I had a gold bodyshield for fast heals also i had an R-99 its one of the few weapons I acually can halfway control the recoil on unless i get too caught up in getting sweaty movements and my aim goes to whack
other than that one match every other match Ive done awful and cant do any damage in lmao

So just read through this entire post, interesting. Sbmm is working the way it is intended. @Flashshark sorry didn’t know which one to pick confirms it in an earlier post. I am going to paraphrase what he said, I f I screw it up a little it is not intentional.
He said something along the lines of “I enjoy it now I am getting 1-2 wins and higher damage and more kills. SEE it is working, this is no slight on shark, but why should you get more wins and kills if you aren’t improving?
I want to emphasize I am not bashing shark or any other player for that matter. The reason I bring this up is your “skill” will increase with more kills and wins and then it will drag you into my lobby at some point. When it does good luck. Premade squads that will destroy you instantly. There is no mistake forgiveness.
My question above about why you should be winning is a valid one, to what end do we make things easier for people? I am sitting at a little over 200 wins for season 3 some with premade, some with randoms and at least 10 solo, I am not bragging it is just the way the season shook out for me. The dumb part was playing premade in the first 4 weeks of the season is where 150 of those wins came from.
Every game played since all of my friends quit has been randoms. I am sick of discord and trying to gel with another squad, just to have them quit playing so randoms it is.So here is where the “why” from earlier comes into play. Under level 50 players are by far my most common teammates sometimes I get some higher ones maybe 1 out of 10 . That puts 90% of my games in watching noobs get crushed. Oh yeah they have more than 20 S3 wins, but don’t have the awareness to stop taking charge rifle shots to the face as they are blasting someone with a 301 @ 200 meters? So um yeah I am going to ask why people feel the need to be placated in a false sense of I am good at this game. The answer is simple it will draw in new players and when they reach a certain cap it will feed them to the wolves.
Ask @fallenangel how thats going, oops never mind. He is basically in the same lobbies I am. Hang on everyone will get there, while no real marker my k/d went down over 1.5 since I started playing with randoms solely. Sucks tbh, but dropping 2 out of 3 on a squad and watching my team either get destroyed by the remaining player or better yet run away as a duo instead of 2 v 1 has lost its appeal.

Even in 2021 this is still an issue, I am an of at the game (playing since early 2019) and I took a long break before finally getting back into it recently but I see level 500s left and right like it's the new default and from all the toxic things I see from them as well it makes it truly a challenge to enjoy the game as of right now and with how inconsistent the developers appear with these problems I sadly don't see this changing anytime soon.
