I seriously can't understand these complaints about matchmaking people make all the time. They totally don't make any sense.

Sorry sweaty might not be the right word, sweat games can be good and funny you are right and I totally hear ya and understand your prospective, not hear for toxtricity or arguements or anything of the sort. I am just speaking from my own expereince and clearly you can see it, as quite a lot of the player base. What I mean is unfair matchmatching for example, lobbies with multiple preds when you and your team nowhere near that level. If it happened every other game or once ever 3 or 4 games where you drop in and get rolled by tripple master preds. Fine, leave boot up the next game, do not need to moan. I AGREE! BUT @NolanGraysonnn I kid you not, this was the case for 10 games in a row, 2 hours of game play where me and my pre-made lobbie has no luck and could not break top 10, now that is something to complain about and this is what people are complaining about. If you have not expereinced this sorry but I don't think you are in the position to comment and I don't think you understand. You're saying if it's not broken for 80% of you don't complain, what about the other 20%? Why because we are above average we are rewarded for being good to get put in lobbies that are literally unplayable and not enjoyable? I get it sometimes you get rolled by very good players that's fine that's part of the game. but EVERY SINGLE GAME? For 2-3 hours? Thats not acceptable you can say its selfish but come on? This is the point of the tread and where people agree, I think you are misunderstanding the point. This should be a game that is equally enjoyable for all and playable with friends.
You can disagree that's fine but just look at the number of complaints and the multiple forums, youtube videos etc etc. in season 3 the devs had to change the matchmaking and apologies for making the games harder because they changed it and more. It is very hard to say it's not a problem when clearly it is just look online it's a massive debate. Just because you have not experienced it for yourself does not mean it is not happening.

- @Henry_Chungster7 Thanks for clarification!
I started to play in the middle of season 1.
Since then play almost daily 2h on average (I think).
There is no stats from season 1 but I think my kdr was around 0.1 in the first season so as you can see, dying every other minute for 2 or 3 hours everyday was norm for me.
Now I am in a position where I expect to do better and when I encounter some crazy son of b** who kills me out of nowhere or his gameplay is so unusual I spectate to see if he is a cheater. This doesn't happen everyday, but sometimes.
Once in a while I have gaming sessions reminding me my season 1 lol
So what I am saying is that maybe because my gameplay became so good comparing to my starting point I might not be able to see what it's all about- @NolanGraysonnn Totally hear you bro and appreciate the grind you put in for the game. You and me both love this game and played this game for 2 years now. My total play time for this year on PSN rewined was around 5 hours per day everyday for a year straight on apex ahaha I dont even know how, clearly no life haha. Now I can understand dieing at the start when you are not good is very common and you need to improve and get better then you see yourself getting more kills is fun. But I am the opposite. Before I was getting 10 kills per game in season 2, dropped a 20 bomb two times in season 3 and once in season 5. I consider myself as a good apex player. The past few days of season 8 running 10 games in a row or so with no kills its really odd and strange to me. It's not like I was playing bad or missing my shots I was getting absolutely out classed because I was playing against the top 500 players (last season preds). If it happened once or twice or 10 times in 30 games thats nothing to complain about but literally happened like 10 times in a row, these states were crazy, 40K kills each in total these teams had like 80k + kills man these guys were crazy good and we literally got like 100 or less damage each.
I just saying that the matchmaking or whatever it is, is very strange at times and should be reviewed but also I ready the comment of that guy you tagged and do see the point they put accross as well so thanks for that brother!I think my brother talking about a MOBA called League of Legends put it best; You are going to end up with 48-52% win rate because that's what the algorithm is designed to do. And even the best players in the world only have a few percentage points higher of a win rate.
This same attitude seems inherent to SBMM in apex legends albeit not based on win rate but on the skill of players they put you up against. This stacked deck approach to match making is what I think and have been told anecdotally is what is so frustrating.
Give us a fair shot every game we boot up in. Don't stack the deck for us or against us. It's not rewarding to finally win a game and then know you're absolutely fhucked for the next 20-30 games because the algorithm just registered you as a high caliber player.
There were some nights back in season 4 and 5 where I would get a few wins in a few hours of play time, and I absolutely knew if I kept on playing I was going to hate the lobbies I was in. I'd frequently take the next night off out of superstition that the lobbies were going to be so fhucking jilted against me. If I'm not alone in that feeling then Respawn...you're doing it WRONG!
