‘This will be its downfall’: Apex fans warn game must copy CoD’s stance on SBMM or die

Apex Legends‘ matchmaking has recently come under fire once more, with fans taking to Reddit to warn the developers to adopt Call of Duty’s matchmaking system or risk the game’s demise if ignored.

A July 30 Reddit thread ignited a discussion among Apex players about the game’s Skill-Based Matchmaking (SBMM) system. The original post included a screenshot of Activision’s official paper on Call of Duty’s matchmaking challenges, suggesting that Apex might be encountering the same issue—a player base skewed towards higher skill levels. “Some of us enjoy the game but have no way to continue playing without getting matched with the best of the best, which ruins it,” was a claim echoed throughout the thread.
