ive been off apex for the past month because I've been working more and coming home after a 10 hour shift, dropping on apex and then getting destroyed by 4k 20bombs isn't worth the stress I already had to endure during the day.
As a solo q Master, sometimes I just want to mess around with bs guns and laugh with friends. Instead I have to sweat against 4 stack preds and over half the lobby are master+. I know I'm good, doesn't mean i want to sweat every game. And my friends can't enjoy it with me either. I can only imagine how bad it is for golds thatre running around.
this is what makes it the worst for me, im not master, im not as good as you, but my kd is 0.50 higher than my friends and i feel like i always have to play out of my mind to make it even because we play against motherfuckers that can 360 tap strafe 180 no scope us.@@spin.chicken
The last half of this season everyone has been so bloodthirsty, especially in pubs :/ Running into try-hards with red armor in the second ring, or aim-gods that can beam you with an smg from marksman range. Who thirst every knock they get like it’s some kind of $500,000,000 ALGS match. Only fun I’ve had is in “pain-yard” playing defend the train car with friends. Everything else has been too much too keep up with. Plus, I’m not even they good of a player. And somehow I get thrown to the sweats, snipers, and psycho lobbies. Not fun :(
I'm a Masters player (S8-S10, not S17 bs) who still struggles immensely. Most of my randoms are like level 150 and legit get wiped in half a second by focused beams of three stacking people my skill level or better who are all on comms, leaving me to 1v3 squads that consist of basically my own equivalent. Literally impossible. A 1v1 is already a 50/50 every time. What's worse is that it has massively upped cheating and smurfing. People are trying anything to get ahead of the brutal SBMM just so they can have fun.
This is the first season I've not actually done the usual ranked grind. Only played 15 matches and that includes the 10 placement matches... The hidden mmr has ruined how ranked plays. No fun at all anymore, even in bronze you get the most sweaty try hard lobbies. And forget about playing with randoms... If they don't do massive changes next season I don't have big hopes for the future of apex...
@@a7yoOnXTC-YT I call bullshit, every win will get you no more then 300 points. Let's assume you got placement at silver 2 (I have seen a lot of streamers who were preds previous seasons put there). You need 10 000 points to reach diamond 4. Kills don't give you points, only placement in match. So basically you are saying you got at least 30 win streak in 2 days?? Without losing any game?? Bullshit
There are two branches to this topic, which are: what is objectively casual and what is the roller coaster ride we’re forced onto. The first one is harder to define, because casual for someone like stormen involves a ton of advanced movement where casual for me is playing against people who are not tap straffing all over the place. But I can live with that discrepancy most of the time. The other branch is the one that irks me and that I can actively feel grinding me away. I can FEEL when I am on an upward trajectory for a week cause I’ll win a lot and play against lower skilled players. Then i know the next week I am going to lose a ton and play against absolute sweats. I shouldn’t be able to track this on a calendar. I just want consistent variety in the player pool I’m in. Feels like marionette strings rather than just playing games with my friends.
honestly if apex didnt match pred 3 stacks with solo players a majority of the pub games would be fine. even if youre casual playing with a friend your chances of killing 1 sweat is significantly higher than killing sweat squad. not to mention if sweat squads were more rare you would improve because instead of fighting 15 sweats in oen building youd be fighting 1 sweat squad at the end of the game which would make the pace slower and youd see your mistakes easier
fighting 3 stacks of 4k/20 kills every match is draining, i barely played 100 games since the season started, they have to make changes or revert it to to how it was 3 seasons ago or its game over.
The icon is still on my desktop, but I have no want to play APEX. With dumb hot drop teammates that are boxed and banner in under 20 seconds. In an hour spending more time loading and dropping in than playing.... yeah, just not enjoyable on any level any more. Like i can just go to the firing range and f around and that's more fun then the game at this point. R.I.P. APEX 2023 Titanfall 2 works again. See you on the frontier.
I quit this season with no desire to come back because of MM. I'm too old to be playing against super gliding no lifers every single match. Its fun to watch you Stormen but I cant play against people your level and still enjoy the game.
@@Michael-mn4ef everything can be learnable, you miss the point here. The guy might wanna stay where he is and not be forced into "learning" tricks to play the actual game. It just gets too complicated if you insert all these things into your game play, some players just wanna chill.
I only play the side modes now. I don't play the BR at all now because it's too much of a time commitment. Most of my teammates die on drop leaving me to 1v3 sweats or quit back to the lobby. No thanks.
3stacks everywhere even in unranked. its very fucking boring to join pubs and fight the lifeline+cata+caustic holding in fragment on the trio roller team . sitting in 1 building for 10minutes at a time
Don't you understand that in pubs if you're playing with those inexperienced casual players you make the game a sweat for them? You are that sweaty player for someone who cannot play as well as you, therefore you prevent others from having fun with people at their skill level and create a barrier for entry that makes it difficult for Apex to attract new players. They need to give everyone a chance to win, because winning is fun not being a punching bag for people that play the game for a living. For normal people the game is for chilling and blowing off steam, for career gamers, real life should be where they unwind and have fun ideally. If not you should find a hobby that can do that for you.
You shouldn't be punished for getting better at the game. Sbmm is a recent thing and games still had plenty of players flowing in, surprising to nobody. No sbmm would make matchmaking random so you're not even gonna play vs sweats that often because they're the minority. if players want sbmm they can play the sbmm mode, ranked. With sbmm, only some players have fun. Without sbmm everyone has fun.
This game is not fun in pubs and rank...and I think the pre made team need to stop,as a solo player I am chased all over the map by a stupid pre made team with controller and mic...and my team die first 30 sec or in first fight,they need to make lobbies just for solo players and 3 stacked....or bring the f....g solo mode.
SBMM is definitely dogshit. I used to play a lot more but even tho I have a lot of free time, I don't even feel like playing Apex. Just a headache to play. Most of the time, my teammates are noobs or just plain bad at the game, then we die to a 3 stack of high tier players. They're f'in us solo q players. I don't want to backpack noobs 80% of the time. It's not fun. I'm just waiting for another game to come out, and I'm selling my account.
The problem is that people have fun when they don't have to try hard to win which is usually when you are fighting teams that are a lower skill level than you are but those lower level guys that you are killing will not be having fun. So matching making to maximize fun for everyone is a very difficult task.
They can at least stretch the limits, i.e a player with 2 kdr should be able to play with one that has 0.7. One who has 6 kdr to be able to play with players at 2 kdr and so on. They can definitely make something to work everything out, but instead they probably making whats best for their sales.
This is an overused argument and it is wrong in multiple ways. First: How many people are actually good enough to do that? I'd say a legit (not post S15) Diamond or Masters player would have to be the minimum. That used to be 4.5% of the playerbase. Even if SBMM literally didn't exist, you're not going to have one of those guys in every one of your lobbies meaning you can win and have fun plenty, just not literally every game. Back in S8 before the stupid Ranked changes, Diamond was like top 3%, Masters was 1.4%, and Pred like 0.4%, making literally 5% of the playerbase ''elite'' enough to be able to destroy a lower level lobby since Plat was like 23%, similar to Gold/Silver/Bronze meaning those players were more common and therefore around the same level. This meant balance. It meant 95% of the playerbase were within each other's skill, while the top 5% was better. It meant that every 5-15 games, the lobby would get rolled by one of those top 5% players, and that's okay. The average winrate for average players is around 5%. That's fine. It doesn't need to be more if they are casual players. Getting steamrolled once every few days is something literally nobody had an issue with. I remember the old COD days. Everyone would just laugh it off when every 1/30 games they'd have one of those uber sweats reaching the score limit within 2 minutes with like 2 deaths at most. And we actually liked it because we knew we could become them. Which leads into point number two: This is a competitive game. The literal ONLY deciding factor as to who wins the most games should be who is the best. Right now the main factor is who gets the easiest lobbies. That is horribly skewed. It actively rewards being shit at the game. Good players can no longer track their progress. Yeah sure you now got 85% accuracy and insane movement, but so does literally everyone else meaning your accuracy is still just 30% (because you're fighting yourself), and your movement is still only barely good enough to not get beamed within a second. It's only when you drop into a new lobby that you can notice just how good you've gotten. That is insanely unfair and beats the point of getting good at a game. Maybe this is why games like Apex are dying while games like Elden Ring are becoming world record setters in sales, awards, user score, etc. People are getting tired of being disrespected.
People like when its random. Its annoying knowing that you actively get punished for playing well. People want to play well without the fear of getting destroyed the next game because the algorithm determined that would keep them the most “engaged”
About 4 months ago I started playing apex. I came from Rocket League as my main game which I have 2k hours in, I steadily lost intrest because of the lack of community acknowledgment by the devs. And now this game is doing the same thing, it honestly sucks that everytime I get on I need to play like its ranked and then get off in frustration. I love the game for what it is but the devs just dont care
I was listening to Jon Bellion - All time low and it reminded me of Stormen streaming h1z1 and getting easy headshots, that’s how I knew the song, mad respect that you’re still uploading, you’re one underrated legend.
For me mostly as a soloq player, the matchmaking/SBMM in it's current form, in pubs, literally what have made me completely stop playing Apex atm! Ranked is just as broken! Respawns data, that they say, are showing, that people are more likely to play more, has had the complete opposite effect on me and how i enjoy playing Apex!
So all the people that can drop 2K bombs in ranked arent sweating in pubs dropping 4k badges, and 20 bombs? Everyone is sweating, just to your own level really. Some are better than others, but i can guarantee, everyone tries to win when they play, no matter the mode.
OFC it is ruining apex, those dev are jerk.. Stuck in silver while being a diamond skill player and there is ppl who have less skill able to grind diamond rank, dumb dogs devs and direction respawn
as a solo q octane master player. yes, SBMM is the biggest joke created by the devs. With a 4+ kd in pubs and a 3+ kd in ranked I have no idea why am I being tagged with such braindead silver and gold players while grinding kills with placement from diamond to masters, and the teammates can't even use their microphones except to tell you how they're not pussies and won't run away from thrir designated hot drop after they did 100 dmg with a kitted r99 + pk, and I covered over 600 dmg 2 downs on one single team that landed with us within 2 mins to watch myself get killed, and the guy doesn't follow any comms, and wait till the team revives the whole team to start fighting them again while insulting my play then literally getting rolled 3v2/1 instead of ratting. These idiots have nothing to do in my queue, but for respawn they apparently seems "skilled as much as I am". Solo q is dead
i love how now everybody starts complaining over this topic. this shit started happening 16 seasons ago. you as a solo and if you are decent at the game you will get 99% of the time bot team mates and you have to face 3 stack master+ sweats in public.
ranked should be matched by rank. So if matchmaking in pubs continually fuxx you in the ass, at least you can still have fun in ranked for a while. but pubs and ranked feel exactly the same at the moment, like a pain in the ass
a lot of cheater aswell specially on controller these days like aim assist is not enough they use no reccoil configs same to mnk player using emulators to get aim assist on mnk
SBMM is just ranked if I wanted to play as hard as I can't every match and die to people to people with 100k kills I would go play ranked but now is just in pubs
Never understood the rant against sweats, as if most people are like an anime character only using 50% of their power or some shit, EVERYONE sweats, the people ranting about it are just mad that there are players who are better than them lmao
And now imagine actually being a casual...there is no fair introduction to the game when you and others just stomp allllll over them, at least they have a chance at gradually improving
Why change it all the time? It was good last season 17. Without people ratting in ranked. But it was fun. I have 6000 hours in this game as a gaming father. So this season is the first season I haven't played the game. I am a solo player. So for me it's not funny anymore. I play Apex when they fix it. If not.. Bye Apex.
It’s like a slow dying hope. Ppl don’t want to give up and quit something they both like and want to keep enjoying, but they more you hop on and get sweated on by sweaty teams and die, the less often you feel like paying until you just can’t keep up hope for the fun anymore and quit
It is steadily dying. S17 and S18 have been their worst received seasons by far and lost over 30% of the playerbase. But people like myself love the game and want to see it succeed, so we check in every once in a while to see if things have improved.
That's the entire problem with the entire argument, and why there will never be a proper solution besides an invisible mmr system of some sort. The people who are negatively affected most are the people that cant play the game all the time and want to chill out, but the people that play the game all the time complain because they cant pub stomp anymore and actually have to try, instead of steam rolling teams of players that have played for less than 50 hours. There's never a good solution honestly. If you introduce a hidden rank system, people will just make smurfs and then the problem shifts to "smurfs are ruining the game."
Thats what confuses me. SBMM should make it more fair? Stormen is max level on highest tier, and he still dominates. Are you telling me the other guys on his level are only playing 30 minutes a week? Maybe the solution is to have a "free for all" mode, which is trios with no SBMM and then just play ranked if you want SBMM. @@squidfishie
@@squidfishie There is a good solution. Erase SBMM entirely. People can either get good or be food. Once you're in the top 5% of players, you deserve to win 95% of your matches. It's how math works. And since there's like 20M active players, it's not like everyone would get rolled by a Stormen every single game. There's what, a few hundred of those guys? So what's the harm in making matchmaking literally random?
Honestly, I’ve never worried much about MM, and I consider myself somewhat above average; not super good, but not bad either. There’s just no way MM will be balanced or fair enough all the time to keep the entire Apex community happy. There are too many factors in play which make that possibility humanly impossible. Just continue grinding and getting better until you get to a point where you win more fights and are more competitive. I assure you that if you practice a lot and learn from your mistakes, you will start winning more fights and be more effective.
If they made matchmaking random for everyone past maybe level 50 maybe lower maybe higher, the overwhelming majority of players of all skill levels would be happy
''Just continue grinding and getting better until you get to a point where you win more fights and are more competitive. I assure you that if you practice a lot and learn from your mistakes, you will start winning more fights and be more effective.'' And then they put you up against people who did the same, so you're back to square 1. And they will literally do this until you're in the top 1% where everyone is equal. I know because I'm there. Top 1.5% of players stat/rank wise. It's very obvious that you're trash at the game. You didn't need to add that. It was clear from this bit alone. It's literal communism is a videogame, LMAO! Everyone has to have equality of outcome, not true equality. Total equity.
Why are people surprised that you have to put in effort in a game that everyone is trying to win / get kills in?😂 “You have to sweat every game” well yeah what do you want? A bot lobby to get 20 bombs every game in? If you do you don’t want to be known as a good gamer who kills the best, you want to be known as a badge chaser with no life.
Says the person who Sweats in Pubs. Yeah man, "it felt great".. It felt great when you were dominating people who didn't even understand the concept of the game, or FPS in general... You have to realize, when you say "I don't want to try. I want to have fun" , there are also other people, brand new people, who also want to 'chill and have fun' but they can't because of all the experienced players and sweats who "don't want to try and play against people their skill level".. Like you.. @StormenTV..
hello buddy, first of all I would like to tell you that I am your big fan and I would really like you to train me in the game Apex Legends, thank you very much in advance I'm Polish, my nickname is SEEKER
Apex is a competitive game. It's called apex for a reason. If you don't sweat every single game then why play? That's what its all about especially pubs.
So i ve been playing since season 1, and after 2 years i quit because of the headshot only cheaters. After of 1.5 year of hiatus, i started playing again, and now i wanna quit again because its not fun at all playing only sweaty games. I am playing sweaty enough ranked games on masters, and i just want to vent on pubs but nooooo! Having fun in pubs n chilling is illegal! F0k this game.
Sbmm and predatory/lazy devs are why I quit (console so cheaters don't exist) Sucks bc the game was so good for awhile even a bit after sbmm came out but it's just gotten so strict I'm tired of playing vs people with 100k kills each stacking
ive been off apex for the past month because I've been working more and coming home after a 10 hour shift, dropping on apex and then getting destroyed by 4k 20bombs isn't worth the stress I already had to endure during the day.

I love the game for what it is but the devs just dont care
I was listening to Jon Bellion - All time low and it reminded me of Stormen streaming h1z1 and getting easy headshots, that’s how I knew the song, mad respect that you’re still uploading, you’re one underrated legend.
For me mostly as a soloq player, the matchmaking/SBMM in it's current form, in pubs, literally what have made me completely stop playing Apex atm!
Ranked is just as broken! Respawns data, that they say, are showing, that people are more likely to play more, has had the complete opposite effect on me and how i enjoy playing Apex!
Just hope they fix things for a more enjoyable pubs
in their eyes it is a fix :D
So all the people that can drop 2K bombs in ranked arent sweating in pubs dropping 4k badges, and 20 bombs? Everyone is sweating, just to your own level really. Some are better than others, but i can guarantee, everyone tries to win when they play, no matter the mode.
OFC it is ruining apex, those dev are jerk..
Stuck in silver while being a diamond skill player and there is ppl who have less skill able to grind diamond rank, dumb dogs devs and direction respawn
as a solo q octane master player. yes, SBMM is the biggest joke created by the devs. With a 4+ kd in pubs and a 3+ kd in ranked I have no idea why am I being tagged with such braindead silver and gold players while grinding kills with placement from diamond to masters, and the teammates can't even use their microphones except to tell you how they're not pussies and won't run away from thrir designated hot drop after they did 100 dmg with a kitted r99 + pk, and I covered over 600 dmg 2 downs on one single team that landed with us within 2 mins to watch myself get killed, and the guy doesn't follow any comms, and wait till the team revives the whole team to start fighting them again while insulting my play then literally getting rolled 3v2/1 instead of ratting. These idiots have nothing to do in my queue, but for respawn they apparently seems "skilled as much as I am".
Solo q is dead
i love how now everybody starts complaining over this topic. this shit started happening 16 seasons ago. you as a solo and if you are decent at the game you will get 99% of the time bot team mates and you have to face 3 stack master+ sweats in public.
ranked should be matched by rank. So if matchmaking in pubs continually fuxx you in the ass, at least you can still have fun in ranked for a while. but pubs and ranked feel exactly the same at the moment, like a pain in the ass
a lot of cheater aswell specially on controller these days like aim assist is not enough they use no reccoil configs same to mnk player using emulators to get aim assist on mnk
8:54 what the fuck man i hated my Aim loll
Why are you playing with fps_max 115?
That is odd. I'm sure he's running the game in 4k max
SBMM is just ranked if I wanted to play as hard as I can't every match and die to people to people with 100k kills I would go play ranked but now is just in pubs
my pubs are consistently lasting all the way to 6th circle closing, like wtf? i thought its pubs?
Never understood the rant against sweats, as if most people are like an anime character only using 50% of their power or some shit, EVERYONE sweats, the people ranting about it are just mad that there are players who are better than them lmao
Just fix sbmm we need that
Games in general suck now a days with competitive play.
This is the best Raze movement I've seen
Is the HRZN thing a sponsor or?
And now imagine actually being a casual...there is no fair introduction to the game when you and others just stomp allllll over them, at least they have a chance at gradually improving
Can someone exolain me why im with masters in Bronze ranked lobbies ?
a comment for the algorithm baby.
That wraith pissed me off. Could’ve won that match if she pushed w you 🙄🙄
Why change it all the time? It was good last season 17. Without people ratting in ranked. But it was fun. I have 6000 hours in this game as a gaming father. So this season is the first season I haven't played the game. I am a solo player. So for me it's not funny anymore. I play Apex when they fix it. If not.. Bye Apex.
Yes, it’s is.
Did you said "merde" ? 😂
i play ranked to have chill games lol
I LIKE ACCET FRENCH BROOO
Yes
Just quit
yes
Well, if SBMM would be as bad as people make it out to be, the game would actually be dead by now lmao
It’s like a slow dying hope. Ppl don’t want to give up and quit something they both like and want to keep enjoying, but they more you hop on and get sweated on by sweaty teams and die, the less often you feel like paying until you just can’t keep up hope for the fun anymore and quit
It is steadily dying. S17 and S18 have been their worst received seasons by far and lost over 30% of the playerbase. But people like myself love the game and want to see it succeed, so we check in every once in a while to see if things have improved.
Complains about SBMM and then casually destroys a few teams with a Flatline haha :)
Yeah he is the sweat that people complain about lol
That's the entire problem with the entire argument, and why there will never be a proper solution besides an invisible mmr system of some sort. The people who are negatively affected most are the people that cant play the game all the time and want to chill out, but the people that play the game all the time complain because they cant pub stomp anymore and actually have to try, instead of steam rolling teams of players that have played for less than 50 hours. There's never a good solution honestly. If you introduce a hidden rank system, people will just make smurfs and then the problem shifts to "smurfs are ruining the game."
Thats what confuses me. SBMM should make it more fair? Stormen is max level on highest tier, and he still dominates. Are you telling me the other guys on his level are only playing 30 minutes a week?
Maybe the solution is to have a "free for all" mode, which is trios with no SBMM and then just play ranked if you want SBMM.
@@squidfishie
@@squidfishie There is a good solution. Erase SBMM entirely. People can either get good or be food. Once you're in the top 5% of players, you deserve to win 95% of your matches. It's how math works. And since there's like 20M active players, it's not like everyone would get rolled by a Stormen every single game. There's what, a few hundred of those guys? So what's the harm in making matchmaking literally random?
yes sure sbmm not good matchmaking ..need to design lobby better and mm sld be equal.. better match
Bro you are my favorite streamer! NOT TODAY MOTHA FUCKA!!! 😂😂😂
But when you wanna have "fun" it's sweating to all the ppl you kill lol
seriously he thinks he is the main character. People want to have fun too.
Honestly, I’ve never worried much about MM, and I consider myself somewhat above average; not super good, but not bad either.
There’s just no way MM will be balanced or fair enough all the time to keep the entire Apex community happy. There are too many factors in play which make that possibility humanly impossible.
Just continue grinding and getting better until you get to a point where you win more fights and are more competitive. I assure you that if you practice a lot and learn from your mistakes, you will start winning more fights and be more effective.
If they made matchmaking random for everyone past maybe level 50 maybe lower maybe higher, the overwhelming majority of players of all skill levels would be happy
''Just continue grinding and getting better until you get to a point where you win more fights and are more competitive. I assure you that if you practice a lot and learn from your mistakes, you will start winning more fights and be more effective.'' And then they put you up against people who did the same, so you're back to square 1. And they will literally do this until you're in the top 1% where everyone is equal. I know because I'm there. Top 1.5% of players stat/rank wise. It's very obvious that you're trash at the game. You didn't need to add that. It was clear from this bit alone.
It's literal communism is a videogame, LMAO! Everyone has to have equality of outcome, not true equality. Total equity.
clickbait title too watch his gameplay...
not really, controllers are destroying the game
"so much fun", ofc when you get matched against lower ranked players. I bet they had a great time.
YES 🤧🙂
yes noob like me of course it destroys...
hi
Why are people surprised that you have to put in effort in a game that everyone is trying to win / get kills in?😂 “You have to sweat every game” well yeah what do you want? A bot lobby to get 20 bombs every game in? If you do you don’t want to be known as a good gamer who kills the best, you want to be known as a badge chaser with no life.
Want a balanced system for pubs it's not fun having everyone at the same level it's boring no variety same shit every game
Matchmaking in apex is joke :D is creazy beousc you play solo you how no more funn in tis game
Says the person who Sweats in Pubs. Yeah man, "it felt great".. It felt great when you were dominating people who didn't even understand the concept of the game, or FPS in general... You have to realize, when you say "I don't want to try. I want to have fun" , there are also other people, brand new people, who also want to 'chill and have fun' but they can't because of all the experienced players and sweats who "don't want to try and play against people their skill level".. Like you.. @StormenTV..
hello buddy, first of all I would like to tell you that I am your big fan and I would really like you to train me in the game Apex Legends, thank you very much in advance I'm Polish, my nickname is SEEKER
dude you just want to kill a bunch of noobs. I mean other want to have fun without some dude tapstrafing all over your face.
If we wanted to kill a bunch of noobs we would do what some people do. Smurf accounts aren't hard or time consuming to make.
Play differently, play pubs, play for fun and not to win
The moment you start to care how you did....you already lost.
Apex is a competitive game. It's called apex for a reason. If you don't sweat every single game then why play? That's what its all about especially pubs.
The matchmaking this season has been better than it has since season 3. F.o.h with the clickbait bs streamer nonsense.
Bro I want to know how you popped that batt so quick after getting red evo. Lil sus dude
Look at the time on the left side and you’ll see it’s just a cut :)
That's edition for you
wow breaking news .. lol ... yeah it does .. since day 1 .. trash game !!!!!
So i ve been playing since season 1, and after 2 years i quit because of the headshot only cheaters. After of 1.5 year of hiatus, i started playing again, and now i wanna quit again because its not fun at all playing only sweaty games. I am playing sweaty enough ranked games on masters, and i just want to vent on pubs but nooooo! Having fun in pubs n chilling is illegal! F0k this game.
Sbmm and predatory/lazy devs are why I quit (console so cheaters don't exist)
Sucks bc the game was so good for awhile even a bit after sbmm came out but it's just gotten so strict I'm tired of playing vs people with 100k kills each stacking
