Matchmaking. Why is it so bad?
Im only level 359, and I've only ever reached plat. SO PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THERE ARE MULTIPLE PREDS IN EVERY SINGLE LOBBY.
Forum Discussion
Wow, a year later and people are still having this problem.
My 6 friends and I started playing Apex in August of 2021. We thought we'd try Apex out. Had we known that the matchmaking would very clearly be rigged against us, I guarantee we would have never started.
I have peaked Gold 4 (No, I'm being serious) and my friends have peaked Silver 2 (Yeah, seriously.) I'm the only one that still plays this game, because 100% of our matches are now Diamond/Master/Pred players.
When we started, we actually had beginner lobbies. But ever since I hit Gold 4, the game believes I'm equal-to-or-better-than aceu, ImperialHal, iiTzTimmy, you name them.
So, I will do exactly what I did, and what 25,000,000 players did in order to get problems in League of Legends fixed: Actively tell people NOT to play this game. Don't waste your time. Don't think you'll have a different experience. When Apex Legends loses 1/4 of its playerbase, exactly like League of Legends did, THAT is when these developers will finally start to listen.
- @BlairNines It's bad at times, but not that bad. Are you talking about ranked? If you are in Gold, you will mostly being put against Gold players. There might be silver grouped with someone else or near Plat, you'll start getting some Plat players. Not at Gold 4 though.
You can climb Gold just by hiding, making it to the last 5 teams. Learn to control fights, start a fight when you have the better position or the drop on them, run away from bad positions. Don't fight uphill with no cover. I see this all the time.@RaginSam thats not the truth, look here Masters vs Bronze, still possible :
Respawn makes you think you will fight against same skilled opponents which is just a bold marketing lie.@r1ggedgameLooks like a screen capture from a youtube video lol. When is that from? There was an exploit a season or two ago, but I don't think that's currently possible. I could be wrong though.
That is definitely not the normal situation at all. It's clearly a cheat or an exploit. The only time you'll see the a player from the next rank is when you are nearing it yourself. So you might see a Plat player when you are Gold 1. The lower you are in Gold the less likely it is you will see a Plat player.
- @BlairNines No, my matches are literally that bad. Come play with me. Come see all of the Diamond/Master/Pred players I'm put up against in 100% of my matches.
Come see the level 100 Valkyries in Bronze 4 with 5,000 kills.
Every single match I try to play is a complete and total nightmare. Every lobby is FILLED with Diamond/Master/Pred players, yet even when I'm obviously obliterated for 20 consecutive matches, nothing changes.
