Ranked matchmaking

Welcome to the Apex = game that tailors streamers/pros, feeds lower ranked to much higher ranked for past 6+ seasons, does 0 about cheaters who add to the problem.

Since season 7 when I begun it has been always like that = good soloqers = d4/3 max, good 3stack legit players = borderline masters, cheaters / pros / streamers = Masters+ / Preds with close to 0 pushback from rest of the community.

Enjoy your D4 and quit playing. Honestly.

Just like the guy above, solo queue above D4 has been pointless for many seasons. Matchmaking, as far as I know, always disadvantages solo queue players, so you'll get weaker teammates, but in the lobby you'll be playing with a ready-made 3-stack master/pred. That's fair, right? XD

The game is also being ruined by ready-made 3-stacks + many cheaters above D4. Is EA/Respawn doing anything about this? No. The problem grows with each passing season and is ignored, just like the number of people using Zen/Titan/Xim and other devices. I know the controller advocates will be here soon, but as a MnK player, I don't want to play with these players, and many of them cheat (as do a lot of streamers), and I'm kind of forced to play with them. 
From what I understand, the master/pred lobby is a real disaster on consoles. And these people are capable of destroying PC lobbies with their friends, so it affects us as well.

PS. I just reported another multi-master for 0 recoil (r99 recoil control over 100m). He had almost 6000 damage in the game. That's sick. :D He probably won't get banned anyway since he's been playing like that for so many seasons.

I believe it shows negligence that the ranked system does not match players within the same rank tier.

Could the easy accessibility of smurfing with alternate accounts be the reason for the lack of population in the player pool?

In reality, the current system offers virtually no penalty or disadvantage for accounts that remain inactive.

cause playerbase if dead and there are not enough players for a ballanced lobbies... duh
