Ranked seems broken for bad players
I have the opposite problem to a lot of the other people posting here. I'm bad at Apex (415 games, average damage of 130.29!) - but I enjoy playing it any time I can get matched against other simila...

I agree, It does feel as though ranked is created for players that are particularly good!
I've had another issue is that because of this low level players are not trying it, therefore when I queue up as gold, I get matched up in Diamond lobbies.

Yes - thats a good point I think. If match quality does arbitrarily deteriorate (I suppose only the devs know if this is actually the case) then there is some chance that players that might have improved and migrated to the upper tiers get discouraged so those pools end up smaller than they might otherwise have. If Apex is like other games the very top of the MMR scale can be a struggle to matchmake anyway so anything you can do to improve retention seems worthwhile. Of course what I don't know is if "accelerated" ranking up (relative to mechanical skill) is better for retention than improving match quality by grouping players more strictly by mechanical skill.
