Teammates is a big factor in the game and I too face the same problems you described. I usually have k/d ratio between 2 and 3 whereas the teammates I get are new guys with 0-50 kills and have no clue how to use tacticals and ultimates or even how to shoot with the gun. Most of them get busy looting and providing no support to othes. Most of them start rushing out for no reason, for instance a few games ago i played a game where both my teammates rushed to 4th party a fight and i constantly screamed stop and what happened next was that amongst the 4 teams my 2 teammates died first. These keep happening again and again. EA should assign teams more carefully instead of randomly pairing anyone with anyone. Atleast check k/d ratio or even number of total kills to determine the team making.
@FaIIenAngeI777 A simple report doesn't fix it mate, the report system doesn't work perfect. Most of the time the cheaters aren't banned from game.
@SnuggleyPuffs yeah i would definitely love if bad players are paired with bad players and goods with goods. This is so important in Ranked matches, I played all 3 ranked seasons and could never reach ahead of Gold I due to crap team most of whom do not co operate, have no idea where to go and how to plan the game, they just rush and end up wasting my precious RPs.
Even in casuals it's no fun when you have to carry 2 teammates without any support and them busy looting every player you down. So I'd love if such change is made in the matchmaking system, atleast it'd be enjoyable playing and sharing the load of the win.
Plus I see no reason to team a 14 level guy with a 300+ level guy in a casual match. This is where it needs to be improved. If I am having 400 kills in a character then my teammates should atleast have 250-300 kills or even badges that they can wipe out a single squad or were winners as kill leaders or something to show that they ain't useless in a fight. People have bad games, I do too and I don't mind carrying till they keep helping me but 9/10 games be like where people simply have no idea what/when/where to do. I do hope this part gets improved because it'll drastically help randoms to climb rank more fluently and make casuals fun too.
@SnuggleyPuffs guess what mate? i'd die fighting a predator with a squad who are actually eligible to play gold or whatever tier I am in rather than the current braindead people i'm mostly paired with, a gold tier game and my team mate is from bronze league with below 100 kills, no squad wipe out badges/kill leader winner badge/ 5 kill badges, they don't even know how to use tacticals and ultimates properly. Add no cooperation to all these, they see 3 teams fighting at a place and then rush to be heroes and get rekt first amongst the other 3 squads. I quit playing ranked due to this, these guys play ranked like casuals, drop once the timer is over and then die within 30 seconds and ping to be respawned. I have lost too much dying as 18th,19th and 20th squad since the start of season 4.
Random matchmaking should definitely be improved, otherwise if you have no squad of yours you can't enjoy Apex will be the situation as it is atm. What I will suggest is filter the very bottom tier out and also filter the predators out. Keep these two tiers separate and let the middle and high tier people play with each other because every decent player who has improved from the low tier to the middle tier will definitely improve to compete with high tiers.
