Actually, it's happening already.
As they say, there will be an "Apex Elite Queue" and if you play top 5 you may enter it.
Well, that's what they say on the EA Origin In the up-date section.
I just read most post in the forum well even if I don't reply to them...
Cause of certain reasons a lot of lower lv players seem to have a problem with playing and enjoying the game.
And it is because they feel a too hard pressure form, high lv players as they state.
The sheer number of people posting about this should make you listen up...
Now, even if I as you stated would strive to get a squad together... in my case, it would not make any difference.
Since I enjoy playing against skilled people random or Team based.
But not all people here like that.
High lvs have an advantage they know the map/ drop locations/ weaponry/ bugs../ mastered control of the abilities.
A team of 3 lv 100 players that are pre-made will always have a big advantage over random teams and an even bigger one on random low lv players.
Elementary, my dear Warslag.
Now if Respawn can make an "Apex Elite Queue" I'm sure they can make a safe space for "weekend-warriors"/ "average gamers".
