Well.. to be brutally honest here, a PVP shooter, especially one that is heavily favored by long time shooter players, and e-sports pro's alike isn't really the place to go if you can't stand getting creamed.
@Wingmannedbro I love many of the popular sports; basketball, football, baseball, and volleyball. I was never a pro at any of them, "but here was a time, back in prime, that I could really lay it down" (sorry, please excuse the Toby Keith reference).
Now, at no time during HS, college, or afterward did I have any problems finding competitive games with other similarly skilled players with the most popular sports in our great nation. You know, ones played by young and old, pros, college all americans, HS all staters, long time players, and newbies.
I never had to worry about going to the local Y and blindly getting thrown into a pickup basketball game with a bunch of pro players.
So to be brutally honest, I'm going to have to call BS on your post.
1st - I didn't say I can't stand getting creamed in a BR game, obviously it happens and is part and parcel to the genre. What I've said, repeatedly, is I don't like playing games that aren't competitive or playing a game with a zero chance of winning. Which is the case when we play Apex in a party.
2nd - If millions of people can find competitive games of (lets stick with) basketball at any and all ages and skill levels (another game that attracts long time basketball players and pros alike), why can't Apex dev do the same with Apex legends?
3rd - Your comment pretty much proves my point: if my daughter and I (below avg players) are constantly put in Apex Legends match against long time shooter players (way above average) then yeah...WE ARE IN THE WRONG PLACE!!!!
I repeat, "Matchmaking will make or break Apex legends..."

What a story, but here's what you missed, Apex is a video game, and not a sport. And when you que for a casual match, you literally say "yes please" to being matched against a completely random menagerie of players, the good, the bad, and the trolls.
This works the same in every game, I don't understand the line of thought of comparing a video game to sports solely on basis of being "competitive".
What you essentially say, is that game devs need to use some magical powers to make sure that you'd never run into people who will wipe the floor with you.
It's downright unreasonable, and if you're a seasoned sportsman, you should know that you don't get better by playing against weaker opponents.
