MATCHMAKING IS TRASH!!!
So I’ve been playing apex since it launched. I’m not the best player in the world, but I’ve gotten to Diamond a few times and certainly enjoy the sweaty gameplay. BUT, there was recently a chan...

@GoSoxAV8You aren't alone and they haven't changed anything yet as far as I can tell. I'm an average, solo queue player and get matched with players worse than me and against players better than me all the time. It is horrible, especially when it does it 10 games in a row which it does fairly regularly.
Your example of trying to get your step brother into Apex is exactly what Snip3down complained about a few months ago when trying to play Apex with his wife who is not as good as he is. She was getting destroyed and they both had a horrible time.
Game is dead. I come back here to verify if it has been resurrected, but it hasn’t. C’mon, it has been a problem for 3 seasons now. 🙁
- @liber8mymadne55 I'm a brand new player with experience in other FPS games. I'm still trying to learn the maps and movement and I'm constantly being matched with people who seem like they participate in tournaments or something. I just want to chill, relax, and have fun shooting. I didn't ask for ultra diehard sweatfest. Also why are there only 2 game modes?
"Snip3down complained..."
To be fair, this is an impossible situation. If a very good, top-tier player is going to queue with a novice then there can only be two outcomes. Match to the novice's skill (where the good player will dominate the lobby, probably single-handedly) or match to the good player's skill (where the novice will get rolled every single engagement). It's a no win situation for the players AND for the matchmaker, but I have to say that in this rare instance I side with the dev and the way they currently handle these situations. Top-tier players should NEVER get a free ride. Obviously they DO get them every single day in early-season ranked play, on their multiple secondaries, etc. etc. etc. But in principle these players should never be handed an easy match because it cannot but come at the expense of some other hapless averagely-skilled player. And there's no excuse for that. Not "I'm skilled so the matchmaker should give me random matching." Not "I'm skilled so I shouldn't be forced to wait for the matchmaker to find similarly skilled players." None of that b.s. Sorry you're so good at the game, Mr. Predator. Now get in line and shut up like the rest of us.
And here's a quick after thought. Snip3down is old enough to know that the way you handle that situation is to start a secondary. I would personally call that a slimy move, but that stops no one from doing it. And his easy matches wouldn't have lasted for long, but it would have been better than what actually happened. At least better for his wife. Not better for the poor schlubs he would have been destroying....
