Complaint about matchmaking

Hello dear ea. I am here to tell you that you need to fix your matchmaking. I am here trying to play games with my 2 brothers and I am going up against 3 full stacks of preds. For example I was just in a game of pubs playing top 3 squads left and I was put in a game with 2 level 5's and the other suad was a 2 time pred with 20 bomb in solo and 2000 kills as Alter this season. Keep in mind my highest actual rank is probably plat if that. Not even a day ago I also got into a game with 3 preds. I just want to put this into your attention your matchmaking is actually shoot please try to fix it. Because at this spot I will end up deleting the game along as a lot of other people. Like what are 2 level 5's meant to do against a level 338 pred. Im conclusion it is not that hard to get your matchmatching right please fix it

  • @Dzikusek94 Matchmaking is still an issue and many players are affected by the current system. I wouldn't say that no one cares, more so there's not much anyone can do unless EA/Respawn decides to fix the problem.

    @Dzikusek94 I'm not entirely sure what you're meaning, however the topic at hand is about how bad the current matchmaking is.

    By being persistent, hopefully EA/Respawn would look into it. Afterall, we were told for about 5 years that solos wasn't coming back, and now it is back. There's also talk about arenas coming back, although the rumors suggests its going to be about a year until we see anything regarding arenas, so who knows.
  • @DragonoidPrimePeople have been complaining about SBMM for years, myself included. There was a big blog post about it in November of 2022 (https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/matchmaking-2023) listing all the things they planned to do with SBMM in 2023.  Nothing appears to have been done and matchmaking has actually gotten worse, IMO.

    Matchmaking that is arguably the worst of any MMFPS in history, a dramatic increase in cheaters, Respawn's lack of any controls for smurfing, over tuned aim assist, and bad netcode hit detection has made the game increasingly unplayable for Average Joe gamer.

    @Midnight9746@Midnight9746I mean that Respawn/EA don't see any problem. It's whole community does see it but that's not enough to change anything because it's free to play game. Changes what we are asking will not give Respawn/EA any raw profit so i'd not expect anything. It's easier for Respawn/EA to call us all "Don Quixote from La Mancha" pointing out that we see problem wherwe it's not located. While the fact is that quality of Apex Legends game fell so low that it looks like Respawn/EA don't respect EULA and ToS witch all of us accepted.

    So now my question is : Who will sue them?

    Because from my point of viev, because of all cheating, unballanced MM and smurfs in game and lack of any movement in any of these topics from developer side, this product starts to be dangerous and should be banned from any distribution.

    Sorry, english is not my main language and i may sound dark from time to time. I hope i got thigs clear now for you mate!

    I just had a match where a team was two silver 2's, and a plat 1. I thought this sort of matchmaking isn't suppose to happen, guess not. Also, there was current diamonds in the match as well. I'm currently in silver, and if the game thinks I'm good enough to fight diamonds, it should fast track me to at least plat. It makes no sense to force players to grind out ranked while they're already in the pred lobbies.
