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.

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 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.
