Matchmaking Rework
There should be 4 queues, ranked solos, ranked duos, and ranked trios, and casual (entirely random as a trio)
to avoid queue issues...
trios stay at 60 players 20 teams
duos would be 40 players at 20 teams
solod would either be 20 players or maybe 25-30
idk its better than needing 60 per queue
remove skill based matchmaking entirely... remove the penaltys aswell, replace ranked leagues with ranked trios( same thing so everyone keeps current rank)
This way the playerbase has a choice if they would rather play alone, as a duo, or as the classic squad mode
just by playing the game naturally players should be in the skill area they belong in, without playing extra tryhard and worrying about RP everygame it should just all be for fun
The reason each queue should be ranked base is so you end up with players that are actually your skill level vs the game doing a horrible guess with SBMM which should of never existed in the first place
Another reason for each 3 to be based off of a rank system so we don’t have to fill queues for each type of match....
solo/ranked solo
duo/ ranked duo
trio/ranked trio
that would be 6 queues... and the playerbase would be dramatically split up, having only 3 modes based off of a rank system would be better in the long run
honestly this may be an awful idea... I havnt spent the time to think everything out and it was just an idea I had while playing
the idea is that most of the rage quitters will play the solo queue, all of the duos who never care about the third wheel will play duos, and everyone else who actually want the team aspect will play trios and there should be less players rage quitting
it would bring more players back to apex as its 3 seperate game modes to choose from vs always being forced to do squads which is why a huge chunk of the playerbase has already left and Ive been tempted to myself lately
I do see some other minor faults to the idea as some players would complain that they can’t get apex predator on all 3 queues (especially with the new split series), but honestly you should just choose the one that suits you the best and stick with that one, trails would be the same but maybe they could have 3 seperate badges for each ranked so you know who got if as a solo,duo, or trio
Also it will take some time for everyone to balance out where they belong so early game everyone will be getting destroyed by players above there skill level for awhile but its no biggy it will only be like apex used to be before SBMM awhile eventually it will be better than the current state of apex
