Matchmaking

Honestly Apex matchmaking feels kinda off right now because as a casual player it keeps putting me against people who barely miss shots and play like they’re in a tournament or something. I get that skill-based matchmaking is supposed to make things fair but it doesn’t really feel fair when I’m just trying to chill and improve and I’m getting lasered every fight before I can even react. Apex is pretty much the only game I take somewhat serious, but I’m not grinding 24/7 like those players, so the system should do a better job separating high-level sweats from regular players like me. It just makes the game frustrating instead of fun and thats probably pushing a lot of casual players away, which isnt good for the game long term either. The thing is, this is literally the only game I play. I dont jump between different shooters or grind multiple titles, Apex is it for me. And I actually love this game fr, like I enjoy the movement, the gunplay, the whole vibe of it (missed the lores of characters tho). That’s why it sucks even more when the matchmaking makes it feel like I don’t belong in my own lobbies. I’m trying to get better over time, not get deleted in 2 seconds every fight. I’m not saying remove skill-based matchmaking completely, but it needs to be adjusted so casual players who actually love the game can enjoy it without constantly going up against players that play like pros. If the experience keeps feeling like this, its gonna push away people like me who genuinely want to keep playing and supporting the game, but just cant keep up with that level every single match.
