Just need to stress this again...If I'm solo queueing, I DO NOT want to face three stacks. I also do not want to play against duo's if I'm soloing and would also like to have the option not to play with them either (because more often than not this is a miserable experience for the third wheel). Respawn, you're RUINING the solo experience for this game....
@FaIIenAngeI777I have no idea what you're talking about....my main issue here is with the out of balance solo experience when taking into account duos and trios.
No acknowledgement , nothing....the game is broken for solos.
I just love the final premade trio shooting their guns in celebration as they destroy solos in co-ordination. It's even better when you visit their stream afterwards (because of course they're streaming too) and see the journey to pred videos. Thanks for the balance Respawn.
STOP DOING IT! I'm sick of my kill feed being full of premade squads from community forums.
You're killing the game for solo people.....why am I ever facing these squads when I play on my own.....
And it's still happening...worse than ever it would seem. I'm getting put up against premades, and as a balance they're pairing me with duos....however, as usual they're either level 8 a piece, or totally self interested making the experience for the solo horrible.
We get frustrated because of the total lack of feedback about this....Apex is quickly becoming impossible to play as a solo.
Remove duo queueing entirely as an option....it's almost always a bad experience for the third person. Then just queue solos vs solos and premades vs premades.
And yet again....whoever is doing matchmaking for solo players must seriously want them to stop playing....
(the wraith even has 4k damage and 20kill badges....seems legit matchmaking there for us solo players without those badges)
Not sure if it's worse but I also just got killed by a pro player...seems fair...1.2 k/d player vs a pro....glad that the matchmaking is so fine tuned....
I'm trying really hard here, but without just some transparency over this sort of thing there's no room for anyone who's not terrible or godly at Apex.
Balance Note - Just because you add a top tier player to the random squad (in this case a pred with the 4k badge) doesn't mean you can then put that random squad against duos and premades. Why? Because the Pred just goes off on their own and we all die regardless.
SOLOS VS SOLOS
Maybe simply adding another game mode? Solo squads. No premade groups allowed. Perfect for those that want to play in a squad without getting destroyed by premades in the final ring over and over. You could still queue up as a solo player for the regular mode, giving you options at least.
I thought maybe there'd been a subtle change but no, they're still doing it....
If I solo queue and get put with two other solo queuer's I don't want to face duo's or trio's. The fact that I can tune into the stream of the duo squad who killed me is ridiculous.
Apex is no longer a game that you can play on your own....there's no way this game is still the multiplayer game of the year with the way it treats it's players.
They need to stop putting plat 4's against Apex Preds. Makes no sense

I think you mean Diamond IV, but yup I completely agree.
After giving up on casual 'cos of SBMM, I had a quick go in ranked to see if it was any better.
NoPE!
1st match; champion squad was a pre-made with Predator rank #193, #284, and #470.
They predictably won after killing almost half the server.
If matchmaking is working as intended, why on Earth are top-tier 3-man predator squads being matched against scrub-tier solo & duo Diamond IVs?!?!
The flawed states of both casual matchmaking, and the ranked tier system are almost completely overshadowing the promises of Season 4.
Either play to your maximum ability, with pre-made squads of equally skilled players, or don't play at all; Apex offers nothing inbetween.
It's a MASSIVE problem, and incredibly frustrating for all who fell in love with Apex through Seasons 1 & 2.
No, i dont mean diamond. I do have Preds in my lobbies while Plat 4
they need to change the way ranked works in general. there shouldn't be a cap on kills/assists. survival doesn't make a player the best. You shouldn't be punished for getting more then 5 kills. the way they have ranked setup is ridiculous. get 5 kills or 5 assists then run and hide for placement.
This is probably just me but, I'm tired of queuing for a trip, and ending up only having a duo or being by myself.
Sure just quit but if it's game after game then it gets annoying. I wish that they would make it more balanced.
