The SBMM makes me want to stop playing Apex and... I love apex. Don't you think EA that this shouldn't be happening?? Because this game is beautiful in every way imaginable but the problem with it is THE SBMM and you should really change it were it's based off K/D ratio and NOT were if a predator gets put into a lobby were every person there is bad at the game or is noob. But if you don't want to do this at least reveal to us how it works in this game. Please every player wants this change so do it. If you want the game to last 10 years.

@howdydoodyfoody I’m a predator player. I play against the top players on xbox. I like skill based matchmaking because it teaches me to play better. So I have to say I disagree with the statement that every player wants to get rid of sbmm.

To a degree I agree, but for a diamond 3-2 player it’s quite hard being matched with preds. I can’t warm up for a ranked match without being killed of spawn cos I’m still warming up. I feel like they need to tweak it a little and give us 1-2 games w/o sbmm to warm up. Ranked is easier than pubs Which is stupid cod I’m paired with preds and masters players.

But your good at the game and me not so much, but don't you feel as if ranked games feel like casual games sometimes?

Also I don't want to get rid of it but it needs a few tweaks that's for sure

@Lordstuart12 SBMM purposely matches low skill / casual / newer players up with high skill players, plus you'll also have to take player population into account. A lot of predator / high skill players abhor SBMM because it makes their unranked games just as sweaty as their ranked games. As Coach Nihil says in the video linked below, high skill players now essentially have 2 ranked playlists, and one of them is not worth playing. He also makes the statement, that overall, SBMM was supposed to improve game-health, but understands that the way Respawn has designed it is flawed.

You'll find a lot of high skill Apex players commenting that SBMM isn't appreciated. You can see from the Twitter post that a few content creators for Apex aren't necessarily happy with the change either. You can also pretty much just scroll through xNasuni's home-page and see a lot of criticism about the general state of the game from multiple content creators / professional players.

It's hard to find people who are willing to actively criticize Apex, especially big name streamers and the like, because once you do, the likely hood that they'll sponsor your stream in order for you to make content for them drops significantly.

erm I don’t warm up in ranked? LOL. Hell no. I said I can’t warm up FOR a tanked match. Because pubs are too try hard.
