Rank's "Hidden MMR" & Matchmaking

The game seems to think I can beat pros like ItsTimmy, Faide, etc. based on how I'd see preds as the champion team pre-stacking, while my teammates play like bots. That alone already suggests a problem as I didn't have this many "bots" until around S16-S17.

Also, one of Apex's "rules" is "no smurfing" which they defined as "the act of stomping players of lower skills on a new account". If there's no problem with the matchmaking, then why are casual players being put in with the top 1%, and why are these players in my matches? (This player is a smurf, and yes this was in ranked):



What would be helpful is:

- Going back to the old matchmaking, completely trashing the idea of the "hidden MMR" since it only made things worse for everyone.

- Punish cheaters, bot accounts, smurfs, exploiters, and console players who use xim, strikepacks, etc.

- Require players to deal damage and get kills to even be able to earn points, or some other method that discourages ratting. Like, even Ash's rat is in the fight.

- Require players to actually move and play the game, temp banning players who do next to nothing since that's sabotaging the other two's match, (we have report options for "inactive during the match" and "abandoned the match", so why not implement an auto-detector? Overwatch already has this function).

- Hate to say it, but remove survival items, mainly the heat shield and evac towers from ranked. Players use heat shields to camp out of the ring. As for the evac tower, if you really want a competitive ranked system, there shouldn't be towers you can use whenever. Use the map or Valkyrie. As for the mobile respawn beacon, removing it or leaving it be wouldn't quite change much.

- Ranked level requirement should be raised to at least 100, 50 is too low.
