Apex Legends dev admits SBMM \u201cnot easy\u201d but changes are coming Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players have been wondering about alternatives to skill-based matchmaking for some time now, and it appears Respawn Entertainment are working to improve the system. SBMM has proven to be a lightning rod in the battle royale genre ever since it was first implemented, with the idea of matching players up against their equals based on different statistics. The game devs have always been pretty responsive with members of the community, ever since the game released, prompting one fan to ask one of Respawn\u2019s analytics specialists about the potential of this style of matchmaking evolving in the near future.
