Broken Public Matchmaking

I just started again playing the game. Couldn't find my old account(I played only before season1 some dozens of matches) so I created a new one.

I complained about MM when the game was released but I left it out for obvious reasons.


But now, after so much time, the public, nonranked MM is just ridiculously broken.

I was matches against players who had done 300K damage, ones who played 500 matches per legend. 

I was playing with my friends and I asked how is this possible? They answered that most likely they have compromised MM against game search time( the game search time is awesome, few seconds).

IMO, this is a bad decision, I dont mind searching for 1 min and have a more skill leveled game which equals a more enjoyable one!

I just get so frustrated, and I have little way of improving my skills, because the opponents are not of comparable skill.

This is not only my opinion but my friends' also. Also TTK is on par with CounterStrike, something we did not feel when started playing. Maybe because of MM it feels like that.

We also consider this a very bad decision if TTK is lower exclusive of broken MM,

Played for about  20h, only won once. We are experienced gamers in general.

Thoughts?

  • @idzer0lis TTK was lowered dramatically, and against EVERYONE'S wishes in S6.

    As for matchmaking, maybe it's different on other servers, but here on NA I often have to wait 5+ minutes on a match. I agree that there is no matchmaking and it'd be nice if there was - I got someone with 43,678 kills on my team, over 15m damage - how on earth do you even?... And champion squad is almost always 20k+ kill people. Meanwhile I've got 2k total kills across all legends, lol.

    But, I'm not sure if there are enough players to do actual matchmaking and get a game ever. Personally, I prefer faster matchmaking simply because I die instantly when I land, having to wait 5 or 10 minutes after getting killed for there to be enough people in queue is the most painful thing when you just die in the first minute.

    I see, thanks for the reply.

    I dont have so much to add...I am playing on EU servers, party full, I don't wait at all, even at very unusual hours. But yeah, 5+mins its a lot of waiting time.

    In the end, it looks like we have to deal with the state of MM. Maybe some cheaters were also screwing my games, not only very experienced apex players.

    I and my few friends spent money on apex, day 1 and now season6. I really wish to enjoy the game more, sadly most of the time it's not, I don't know why. Maybe because I'm growing old.

    I don't have the same problem with other battle royale game I am playing occasionally.
