I am pretty new to Apex. 10 days ago i started to play this Game together with 2 Friends. We always Play together just for fun, Games that are crossplay. I play on Xbox, my friends on a Switch Lite. I have to say Apex ist damm frustrating. In Trio we get matched with like lvl 500 Players with 10k Kills while we are around lvl 40-50 with maybe 10-20kills each. We only have to look in the Direction of a Player and we are dead within 1second....It almost feels like people are aimbotting.We did ok in Arena wich is actually the better Mode for us, we did get equal less experienced Enemys most of the time, but the last 2 days its the same crap matchmaking with like high lvl Enemys.So what i want to say...we will probaply walk away from this Game soon, the Matchmaking is just too frustrating and not Fun for new Players trying to learn the Game...

My Friends play on a Switch Lite wich is already punishing enough(its only 576p and 30fps)!!! Thats complete BS

@Inaktus Let me actually reply to this since nobody else would.Apex Legends is very frustrating to people below a certain skill level. And that bar of skill is set very high up, so getting to that point will take dedication and a ton of time. Not particularly fun, not really supportive for new players either.Not much attention is paid to this either. You're not the first one to complain about this, and you also aren't the first one to not get any replies. I have noticed that if you play with a pre-made squad, your enemies are exponentially more difficult regardless of your Team's sum of skill level.The best you can do is wait for an improvement.

"It almost feels like people are aimbotting."You are only wrong on this about 70% of the time. 🥳

Also I have played this game for a while and have never noticed harder enemies with a premade.

@Inaktus It's effectively that, yeah. The game tries to pair your pre-made with other pre-mades. Whilst only an assumption and not really a confirmed fact, it can be safely assumed to be correct by the higher surge of identical clan names on enemy squads when you play with a pre-made. Why exactly that is I don't know.

Apex Legends doesn't seem to be made for the more casual audience. The game is already much more difficult to play than other shooters with the way it works, and is further made difficult by pairing you with much better enemies.

@Inaktus I’ve played for 2 years and still run into this issue... once it starts putting me into those sweat lobbies Im just deleted as soon as I make the slightest mistake I have been playing Arenas and Rogue Company way more than Apex BR Lately because the matchmaking this season is the worst in the history of Apex

Good to know, but opening the game to a new Platform (Nintendo Switch) and then place those people together with Pros will scare away those new Players....Not a wise decission and not a good Business Model....none of them will buy any skins or Season Pass, i know my friends wont....

@InaktusYep, was playing pubs with randoms and getting high kill games then a friend joined me we play pubs with 1 random and I couldnt get a kill most of the time and we both were being destroyed continuously in half a second. So we quit.
