Skill-based matchmaking has long been a major topic in video games and in Apex Legends specifically. Complaints have long revolved around players\u2019 inability to enjoy matches casually and, in Season 15 specifically, issues over inaccurate matchmaking have taken center stage. However, many players welcomed recent confirmation from Respawn that the game\u2019s SBMM mechanics will be changing considerably in the near future. NICKMERCS praises Respawn for SBMM changes in Apex Legends In a November 22 Twitch stream, ALGS competitor NICKMERCS joined the chorus of praise for Respawn developers, describing it as \u201ccool\u201d. \u201cI did see a little bit of this I think,\u201d he said. \u201cI read the dev\u2019s paragraph and it looked like he needed to go to college\u2026 I dunno, cool though. A lot of people don\u2019t like the current Apex [matchmaking] thing they have going on so if they\u2019re gonna make some changes, good man.\u201d In short, the streamer and former Gears of War pro is pleased to see developers listening to community feedback and making adjustments as they deem necessary. Nick is known to praise developers for positive changes they make, recently applauding Respawn for Apex\u2019s new Broken Moon environment. Although the developers did not give specific dates for the implementation of the SBMM changes, they did say that players can expect them in-game during December or early in 2023. Nick is clearly among those who believe they\u2019ll improve the quality of the average match and placate some fan criticism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICKMERCS praises Apex Legends devs for finally addressing matchmaking and SBMM problems Respawn \/ Twitch: NICKMERCSApex Legends streamer and ALGS competitor Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff has praised Respawn Entertainment for recently announced changes to the BR\u2019s skill-based matchmaking mechanics.
