SBMM makes the game unfun.

[PokimaneIsMyQueen]

Is everyone just an uber noob at this game? Every time I get into a match it feels like i have to top frag every time just to feel as though I have some form of control of the game. I'm just trying to frag out and have a semi social experience while also clicking on character models / heads / portal locations.
This game almost feels like what i imagined titanfall 3 would have been if titanfall had some assemblence of direction, pacing, and an actual progression to its map control / weapon placement, and also minus the annoying titans with the character's fast movement and gameplay pacing. ( tired of the halo / portal baby analogy. we get it.)
I refuse to play ranked, because if the games SBMM decides to to plop me into a game where it wants a bunch of casuals to finally get their victory because the game expects me to go 1million and zero, id rather just rage quit that game.
Lately it feels like i get nothing but those games and honestly its making this game unfun. There's no reasonable middle ground. If I die on the first round, and if i dont steal the power weapons and abuse them. The whole game I lose map control because my born yesturday teammates dont know how work as a team or make any plays off of each other. I litterally have to go flawless every game just to have any sort of chance, like what is the point?

It's not just you, casual matchmaking is full of bots instead of players.
I also absolutely hate the effect they have on games.
Sadly ranked is the only escape until 1047 finally wakes up and removes the bots.

Well i hate playing rank for the reason i just listed. This game has 60k players, ive played this game way before the bots were added, and they were only added because this game had a population of about 100 per day during the hot hours.

Honestly those were the funnest times during my journey into this game because it was exactly that, an online fps gaming semi social experience with casual vibes while you grind out your aim. Now i just fight bots all day which is..... i mgiht as well play a single player game. This game doesnt need them anymore becuase the low population is now finally solved.

I'm not sure what you expect the game to do. You want matches to be balanced from the sound of it, but you don't want SBMM or ranked?

There's no other good way to match players up. The only other option is to do it completely randomly, in which case it just becomes a 50/50 as to whether you stomp or get stomped

What i want is for the game to stop wasting my time with games full of useless teammates against partied up coordinated 3 v 1 stacks, and the ability to leave whenever the game gives these waist of time games rather then penalizing me with a rage quit predomiter

And why exactly are you against ranked play? The ranked system isn't amazing (I refuse to believe brass is even a real rank), but you're more likely to find balanced matches there than you are in casuals

If there was no penalty for leaving then 9/10 games would have leavers

Penaltys are not the solution to stopping levers. YOu ever watch pro valorant players grind ranked in solo que? They litterally throw in un winnable games, my teammates throw in un winnable games, they either do that or go afk. There is practically zero differene between leaving and all of the above.
I'm not against ranked, you're skipping several steps in the conversation, im not sure what exactly youre talking about.
Also more balanced matches in ranked? ha, i beg to differ.

I come from blacklight, which had no SBMM, and everyone was happy. You just went into a lobby, and you played, dont have to worry about getting stomped by a full clan in a casual match.

you are playing against bots
