Apex Legends community slams \u201ctoxic\u201d players for in-game SBMM protests Respawn EntertainmentThe Apex Legends community are firing back at people \u201cprotesting\u201d skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) in Apex Legends, referring to the in-game actions as more disruptive than the divisive playlist feature itself. There are reportedly clips of players refusing to revive downed \u2018random\u2019 teammates \u2013 a move that\u2019s being touted as a show of solidarity that the player base doesn\u2019t want SBMM in the game. It\u2019s true that SBMM has been a contentious topic in the Apex community. In the past, pros, content creators, and casual players have given strongly worded messages to the devs to take out the feature. REMINDER: let\u2019s continue supporting the in-game protest against SBMM \u274c Refuse to revive or respawn ANY random teammates until this unplayable form of skill-based matchmaking in \u2018Play Apex\u2019 is addressed \/ removed \u274c Let your voices be heard! \u2014 The SBMM Connoisseur (@Apex_Latest) May 9, 2020 But a portion of disgruntled players are now opting to show Respawn how they feel about SBMM by refusing to cooperate with their matchmade team. \u201cRefuse to revive or respawn ANY random teammates until this unplayable form of skill-based matchmaking in \u2018Play Apex\u2019 is addressed \/ removed,\u201d Twitter user \u2018Apex_latest\u2019 said while playing a video of instances where players weren\u2019t reviving their teammates. Though people resonate with the frustration of SBMM in the casual playlists, the overwhelming response to the movement slammed the idea of these protests as being more toxic. I\u2019m gonna assume y\u2019all have seen this guy around encouraging players to not revive downed teammates in a protest against SBMM. People are actually falling for this shit. If you\u2019re one of these people, please, don\u2019t do this. You\u2019re just ruining the game for everyone,you won\u2019t get rid of SBMM this way byu\/Ya-Dank-Boi inapexlegends \u201cThat\u2019s toxic as hell. I want SBMM gone too but this is not the way to do it,\u201d user \u2018skepticalmonique\u2019 said. Others questioned the reasoning of these kinds of protests since it detracts from providing positive outcomes to Apex Legends. \u201cI would say I\u2019m good at Apex, on good matches I get like five to seven kills on average,\u201d user \u2018A-Zebra\u2019 said. \u201cBut that does not mean I don\u2019t still get knocked, that\u2019s why I always immediately revive someone when they get knocked, sometimes you get teammates on a bad game, but shouldn\u2019t fault someone for that, this is disgusting and toxic.\u201d These kinds of community outbursts could actually help stave off meaningful changes since it presents another more pressing matter that Respawn has to come in and address. Respawn have routinely boasted about the amounts of problematic hackers they\u2019ve ousted from their servers. SBMM protesters might not get a similar ban, the devs would have to create, develop, and execute a worthwhile penalty for disruptive players, all the same. This would naturally delay any sort of SBMM fix that the movement is looking for in the first place, and more players are voicing their disapproval with Apex Legends players that take part in it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
