Arena Placement System Flawed

@TheApexLegendNub About 4 of my placement rounds, the enemy team all bought lmgs, 3 other placement rounds, had obvious cheaters, with most placement matches having smurphs, (level 7-23 players who are playing like a pred).

It was honestly a joke. The first 6 placement matches also kept giving me low level teammates, VS smurphs / pros, and after those matches, my teammates only ever were in the level 100' range, while the enemy team were all level 500+, 20 kill badge, 4k damage badge. I then get shoved into Silver III for my hardwork.

Its like, no matter how good you do, the matchmaking basically sabotages you by giving you terrible teammates, and expects you to carry.

I posted this after 3 match placement rounds, and its still relevant. https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Feedback/Arena-s-Rank-Placement-amp-Weapon-Feedback/m-p/10570718#M85048

@Midnight9746 My placement rounds were a joke because 3-4 of them had AFK teammates (who I promptly reported). One had only 2 on our team vs a premade on the other so... yeah. I thought, well, those probably aren't counted ... but apparently they are. Bronze IV, thanks for playing.

Now that I'm playing ranked matches I've won quite a few though, so matchmaking appears to get mostly better after you place. Of course, I did get one where I was paired with a gold player (I was still bronze IV) who proceeded to swear at me in spanish using very colorful words, because he didn't like me thirsting an enemy player to get shield cells after he took all 4 of the healing items from the bin which I opened. So that was nice, at least.

LOL. Fortunately, I had 5 wins with amazing teammates, super positive and fun, so my night ended on a positive note. Now bronze III. So close to Plat I can taste it.

@LaughingSharko One of my placement matches, an enemy player left the game after losing round 1. I didn't really get leavers or AFKers, I just mainly got teammates that had zero game awareness.

@Cwittz These "AFK" players do it after round 1 or 2, usually.
