Level 500??? Casual???
Not trying to condescend, but, do you know what "casual" means? Do you have any idea how many hours you need to put into the game to reach that level? That's not a casual player, that's someone with hundreds of hours of experience. They might be "bad", but they aren't "casuals"
Casuals are people who barely play video games. Hundreds of hours, is NOT barely playing video games. Its almost a job at that point.

Such a perfect, skilled and non-casual (I presume you mean that you are very pro compared to your casual teammates who just insta-dies) will have no problems what so ever to find equally perfect, skilled and non-casual teammates to play with?

I have to say that your statement is not totally right. I have to agree with @Popa2caps that yes in fact Level 500/500+ players can be and are a lot of times casual players.
I have been playing since season 1 and consider myself a casual player. On average I play 1-3 times per week, usually 1-2 sometimes more. The one almost dedicated day of the week I play is a 4-6 hr. session while any others are 1-2 hrs. My avg play time per week is at about 7 hrs. some weeks more some less. This is in fact casual gamming in my eye's and I have been level 500 for a while now.
There are a lot of players that put in 1-2 hrs a day you know the ones that just go to get their daily's done and then go offline. Many of them are lvl 500 and would still be considered casual players.
Non-casual players are those that normally put in the grind in the past to get to plat or higher in ranked or have the time to play 3-4 hrs a day or more as is the case for streamers, content creators and pro players that will put in 6-8+ hrs a day.
I double checked my total play time in Apex and did the math, 3 years of playing and I did in fact come out to 7 hrs per week which is basacilly my one day a week I play with friends and about 1 hr. otherwise. Yep that is casual play at level 500.

Respawn, fix your game. Casuals should be grouped with casuals, not me.Rank does not equal skill, casual players can be and sometimes are even better than those hard core players that have no game sense etc.
Trust me I hate being matched with so called master lvl players that really do not know what they are doing, they loot and die just as much as others.
I think the problem lies in different playstyles, MM, and communication.
If the players that are grouped with you can not approach you level of play try playing at their pace, you know try working as a team.
I noticed that this season too. and the previously the tail end of season 11.
Its not that only but the Aim bot users have exponentially increased!- r1ggedgame3 years agoSeasoned Ace@Asmodeus566 exactly my thoughts, ive been playing with quite some Players that have that fancy divetrail, fancy badges ect. but from a subjective skill perspective my buddy and i always wonder how those players even got that far having a higher rank than us while doing a small percentile of the dmg/kills we manage to deal (we do like 1K+, while the Dia/Master Guy barely hits 300). they just melt in the lobbies we usually get. how is that possible ?!?! This doesent happen too often, since we dont get matched up in a team with such a "high roller" most of the time (its more likely for us to get a 3rd that is way below our rank). But you can say if it happens, 30% of the time its a "fake" Dia/Master.
