Matchmaking System is Broken
Its broken for trios and ranked. Every single game i play in my opponents are Master players and sometimes Predators. The highest ive ever ranked is Platinum. I should not be playing matches against...
The game became completely unplayable for me.
I don't even try to play Ranked anymore, as I don't have a team, and for solo queuers the new system is extremely punishing.
I can't play pubs anymore. I take screenshots every time I die, and I swear, 7 of 10 times my killers are Masters with 20 kills badges and 4k damage badges. Half the time they're teamed up with their buddies (having the same clan tag), all Masters of course. I join a pubs game only to loot to eventually die in a split second, without being able to do anything. Again, and again, and again. Every day, no matter what time I try to play, afternoon, evening, at night.
Now that the Control is back, I tried playing that, and what do you know, a lot of the time there are teamed up Masters again, absolute annihilating you on sight.
I don't learn this way, I can't become better. No matter how good I can become in the coming weeks or months I can't win with a team of people of about level 100-200 against a triple masters team that has good comms.
It feels like I want to causally play let's say football on the local sports grounds. I come out, and there's Ronaldo and Messi, teamed up and completely annihilating everyone, not allowing them to even touch the ball, and winning 100-0.
I used to enjoy the game very much. Now I honestly give up, and will take a break until next season. I will try just watching Apex gameplay on youtube, even though even youtube videos now just give me anxiety and make me feel like crap.
Ranked matchmaking is terrible, the worst its ever been.
1st game: No teammates
2nd game: Teammates threw the match, getting us all killed (both were bronze)
3rd game: Teammates were both silver, and were at least able to shoot, ended up winning
4th game: bot teammates (both were rookie)
5th game: a duo team that seems to not care about their 3rd (both were rookie)
6th game: more bot teammates (both were rookie)
I'm in Silver III, which in the current S13 system, I managed to reach Gold IV within the first half of the season. Why am I getting ROOKIE teammates in silver/gold matches? It makes ZERO sense. Half of them are litteral bots, or someone with zero game awareness or skill. One shot at me like I was an enemy when I took out a cargobot, and they watched me shoot it down out of the sky. That's how clueless they are.
Edited: I got 2 of the same teammates 4 times in a row, and both of these teammates are noobs in a rank match, so when we get into a fight, we all just instantly die, so seriously EA/Respawn please fix the matchmaking and don't pair the same players up over and over again unless they choose to be in the same party. Its very annoying losing points because matchmaking wants to kick me in the shin with random teammates.
I'm a low skill player, as I play casually and dont care for skill anymore. I just want to play for half an hour every now and then. This game had the potential to be really really really good.
But I get thrown into matches with ppl who have 15000+ kills in this game. Level 500. Its pointless for both. And no one at EA seems to give a fook - surprise (not).
