    Apex Pro Exposes How Bad The SBMM Really Is... Wow 😭
    Apex legends season 19 has been a bad one to say the least for fans when it comes to having consistent enjoyment. Besides 3 Strikes LTM, fans have had a hard time grappling with the SBMM in this game and how bad it has become. Today we look at Apex Pro Sweetdreams in his recent reveal of how bad the Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM) truly is.

      Thats why i stopped playing the BR completely, like im not expecting to get a random pro player as my random.. but i suck, my kdr is 1.4, my avg damage is 450. Im not totally terrible but i aint no master level player. I get bodied more often than not, but why are my teammates 90% of the time 10x worse than me. While all my opponents seem to have the most godlike teamwork and aim where i just get rolled. Hell best case scenario i clutch up and knock 2 people only to be go down to the third who then casually 1v3s the rest of the team as they run around like headless chickens. They claim sbmm, but idk if it was sbmm should my teammates more often than not be at least as decent as myself?
      I love the gameplay for apex, imo its handsdown the most interesting fps on the market by miles, currently i only play mixtape and the same shit happens in that mode too but that mode clearly has no real match making other than connection based mm from what i can tell. Like if we do sbmm make it actually good, i hate this big brother matchmaking. Im so over babysitting abysmal players while having to fight off 3 stack of high skill players, its just not fun. If i had other equally strong players then im all for it, lets go. But thats never what happens.

    @Clownskillz 9 місяців тому +15

    I think I unstand what's happening partially. I've been frustrated by the SBMM for several seasons as it has gotten worse and worse, so I've had time to think about it. It goes back to 2 different things they've said about matchmaking. First, their "buckets" they put players in by skill. When you get killed by players SO much better than you it feels bad, so they made more buckets. If we think about it as if there were only 3 originally "low, mid, high" people who were at the edge, always felt off. Now it's like there are 5 "high, high-mid, mid, high-low, low" which in theory would make it play better. BUT. they also prioritize matchmaking times over skill buckets. Which means they will pull from the bucket below to fill lobbies, as it should be pyramid shaped, and there should always be more the tier below you. So the bottom bucket won't see preds, but the mid buckets will get pulled to fill their lobbies all the time as now you won't see people worse than you very often. That also means at higher lobbies you aren't going to see many people who are not used to playing, so all skill levels feel harder and off, and yeah, it's pretty rigged against you. Chances are you are always one of the lower skill players in your lobby.

    • @kennyJCP

    Want to read something interesting? When I was in Diamond in this season I was hoping to have better skilled teammates, like other Diamonds or Masters. The funny part is that I started realizing by asking people their ranks at the time of playing with me as a random, to my surprise there where even Silver, Bronze and Gold players paired up with me as a Diamond! The next day, I stopped playing Apex and ranked. It was all for nothing. How do they even expect me to rank up to masters if my teammates (who are not at fault) are paired up with me in harder lobbies?

    As I've been saying from the beginning. The rank you're in needs to be the people you're going against. Because if you do good that means you're better than them so you rank up if they don't do good they stay where they're at or go down. Then after a couple weeks or months it all settles out then you finally get to the rank that you're most likely at

      Its not even only console, its the same shit on pc. You can have the most average stats and games and if you win a single match gg have fun getting rolled by multiple master/pred 3 stacks until you gotten beaten so much the game gives you a break and starts putting you in lobbies that actually feel fair.
      Ive just quit playing the br entirely, i refuse to waste my time playing a loading simulator and being a target dummy for people who play 8 hours a day 3 stacked with other people who play just as much.. i want to PLAY the game, not spend 2 minutes loading in a match only to gather loot to deliver to the 3 stack..
      the game also seems to add salt to the wound by always putting the absolute worst players in the world on my team expecting my average casual ass to carry them against no lifers.. like i played 1 br match this season because my bud begged me to just try it. After not playing the br for like 2 seasons, what is our random? Well what else than a level 3. But it wasnt a master smurf.. no no no that would imply we might be able to have fun, no i have to carry the level 3 who has never played an fps game in their life.. i get the level 3 who has no idea how to heal.. i get the level 3 that does 15 damage while i do 2800.. my bud coudnt stop laughing saying he almost never gets teammates that bad.. well respawn can go find other people to fill their br lobbies and carry these shitters because that aint happening ever again..

    The SBMM is attached to your I.P address not your account name (and also very likely stores a cookie somewhere) So the server still knows he's a Pred/Masters player. Further MMR decides what your actual level is depending on how well you play in your first few games. There are a lot less smurfs thanks to MMR.

    The reason you're getting masters/preds in gold is because you're running through bronze/silver lobbies getting 10-15 kills a game. The game knows you ain't no silver/gold player. You're one of the best players in the world and crying because you're facing good players? SMH

  • @dc7339

    It’s not only their engagement based MM, they use difficulty adjustment. They have a patent called Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment that alters your game so that it is more or less difficult, depending on how good or bad you’re doing. Not sure if they use that exact system, but why would they make a patent like that if they weren’t using it or something similar to it. If you played a good amount of Apex, I’m sure you notice weird shit going on, like no regs, losing gun battles when you shoot first and hit every shot to a noob…etc. There’s plenty of other things they can do to make your game more difficult. The example they use on their patent is of a racing game where they slow your car down if you’re doing too well and speed up your opponents. Apex is rigged.

My ranked experience is literally that of sweets. I made it to diamond really early, stayed for a couple weeks the. Went cold and dropped out. As soon as I dropped back into plat I was going against 3 stack preds and that’s the last I played. It’s so whack.

I started grinding again recently and I'm hard stuck in silver and I keep getting paired against diamond, masters and the occasional pred.

Here I am diamond 1 but I’m getting paired up with silvers - plats how is that even fair plus not to mention these preds are cheating I’ve seen 3 squads running around together lifeline octane pathy to ppl using Cronus scripts. To going up against preds and then finding their UA-cam promoting Cronus scripts laughing how they can’t get banned. Or Getting beamed from across the map? That’s never been an issue till now? How has respawn not done anything about these cheaters and Cronus players. Oh don’t forget they give you a squad that hit drops and instantly pairs you up with the same duo next match ? This is the worst experience I’ve had since season 1. I rather go back to KP instead of LP

    I play this game like 4 hrs a day, not a pro, but kinda good where it counts. What I would like to see is if I'm playing against my normal diamond and up players in ranked, I want to place in diamond an up like the teams I fight, not continue to be placed in rookie after grinding the game for 2k hrs an still have to go all the way up the rank pool every season. Why have placements if they give you the sweatiest lobbies and new teammates to just die off drop all 10 games?
    Don't get me wrong this is my favorite game, I love it, but the SBMM at least on Playstation has been friggin weird the last couple seasons. I sweated my ass off season 17 an got to diamond an felt great, didn't rat, it was smooth and felt like a scent climb the whole way. Season 18 suddenly felt like I was in ALGS from Rookie all the way to the point where I got tired of dying to preds in bronze lobbies an ran down trios the rest of the season. Still heckin fun in pubs though

    We need to cater to the casuals as well. The longer EA/Respawn takes to fix the issues or at least communicate and acknowledge them to the general player base, the less casual players will hop in. Making the situation worse when you have nothing but pros, sweats, and preds playing concurrently.
    Personally I like the challenge (usually), but I don’t see how it’s at all possible for a new player to hop in given the ever growing skill ceiling. Even someone who’s been playing since day 1 can find themselves in the dust if they fall off for too long.

      @@flamg0982 dropping new players in with preds, as the video shows happening to Sweet, is no ones intentional idea of catering to the casual player base. It’s a fault. My comment was why I believe it to be happening more and more.
      Additionally less than 20% is hardly a majority and was the result of respawn making the ranked system too rewarding for a second time. Those two master badges are considered meaningless. NOT masters as a whole.
      The issues with ranked LP gain you’re having in those silver lobbies you mentioned are known, but when a person with literally no game dev knowledge just says “fix the shit ranked system” without any constructive suggestion, it makes me want to urge you to go make your own game if you can do better.
