Apex Legends dev responds to concerns over \u201cfrustrating\u201d SBMM system Respawn\/EAAn Apex Legends dev has responded to players\u2019 concerns with skill-based matchmaking and has suggested changes could be on the way. The majority of competitive games like Apex Legends implement their own SBMM (skill-based matchmaking) system that attempts to match players with those similar in skill to give you the fairest experience. However, previously the SBMM system, that many developers use, has been proven to have its flaws. Frequently, lower-ranked players will make their way into the high-skill lobbies. A Reddit thread started on December 17 by Apex Legends player JakkoWasHere got a response from the devs after they hit out at the SBMM system. \u201cI\u2019m level 99, but every time I go into a match, it\u2019s full of level 500 sweaties with 20k kills,\u201d said JakkoWasHere. \u201cIt\u2019s not cool, it makes me frustrated.\u201d The thread from JakkoWasHere got a response from Respawn dev Aaron L. who assured them that being a high level doesn\u2019t necessarily mean the player is highly skilled: \u201cJust to be clear here\u2026 high level does not imply high skill.\u201d The Respawn dev then followed up on his comment suggesting that changes to the casual queue SBMM could be on the way. Yeah\u2026 pub\u2019s matchmaking can be a bit volatile at times,\u201d said Aaron. \u201cIt\u2019s on my radar.\u201d While it\u2019s not direct confirmation that SBMM changes are coming, Aaron\u2019s comment that it\u2019s on his radar suggests that Respawn is monitoring matchmaking and whether their systems could be improved. While it may not amount to anything, this will definitely be positive news for players frustrated by the opponents they face off against in public matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
