SBMM is really great

[SDS_JuggernautTV]

I love playing pubs in a ranked fashion its so much dealing 2300 damage for 3 kills not because my team is taking my kills bust because pushing any team will lead to certain death or 3rd party.

@SDS_JuggernautTV You don't like it? Elaborate? I feel as though SBMM is the best it has ever been in a very long time.

@MoNosDirtyGaming Can I have whatever happy land pill you are taking? Because in my experience, sbmm pairs me (A level 405 season 3 pred) with level 30s who don't have a clue whats going on. I end up fighting a whole lobby of pre-made predator squads. Apex's matchmaking is the worst it has ever been right now and I find it to be the worst solo experience in any game I have ever played.

@NagTheNaggy I'd suggest finding a good second, then the third won't really matter. Are you on PS4?

[NagTheNaggy]

@MoNosDirtyGaming No xbox. I have a friend I usually do duos with. He isn't INSANE but he is definitely good. The funny part is that I'm better than him but he is 40 levels higher than me.

SBMM pairs me with players who level 200 and I'm only level 89. like wtf I  don't want to get carried I want to improve!

[MoNosDirtyGaming]

@NagTheNaggy Yeah, there you go then, on ps4 its perfect right now, still games where I have to carry the entire team but when I have at least 1 person with me it's fine.

[Zippy2810]

from what I can tell there are 4 levels of SBMM. A, B, C, and D and I think there should only be A and B. A for the sweaty players who are always grinding and their grinding paid off. and B for all of the casual players like me who want to enjoy the game.

I don't necessarily want to carried and I don't necessarily want to improve. I mean if it happens, great, but I'm just generally here to try and have some fun.

But, getting so hard carried that you might as well just sit in a building and play on your phone, or getting so hard stomp that you can't even pick up a weapon or get a shot in, before being blown to Kingdom come, isn't exactly what I would call "fun".

I personally like the concept of SBMM in pubs, but it's honestly a failed mechanism. I've rarely been put into matches where I felt that my teammates/opponents were of a similar skill. Like I would be matched with level 20 teammates (not smurfs) against Predator opponents, or I would have Predator teammates who hardcore carry me throughout a match.
