Re: The matchmaking is unfair.

Tell me a game with fair matchmaking or no RNG?  

Ill wait....

also just try when you find a solid solid team or player to run with inviting them?  I’ve met two gamers from my city on random for instance and now I get too many invites when I logon.

    I can't, cause I'd be a trouble for them and it would be embarrassing to me. That's cause I can't gradually improve, cause of the unfair matchmaking system. Is that enough for you?
    P.S. Overwatch and PUBG.

    FORTNITE, deadass. you can que solo and you fully get solo plays. squad is squad. Solosquad in fortnite is normal gameplay in apex.

  • Dudes, thanks for your help but why you're all talking about squads and solo squads? The post is about the fact that the game makes rookies play against pros in the same arena.

    Just decrease your k/d to 1 or max 1.2 and you will be good :D 

  • Actually you won't. Last season, when the matchmaking was much better, I was put in games with people closer to my skill. I was about 1.35KD. Season one I was .35KD (granted much was just learning the game. Season 2 I spiked up to .72KD. Season 3, I loved the game. This season, where I get queued in with 20 kill badge players I get roasted. My KD is at 1.05KD and I hate the game. I play it in one hour bursts now. I am all about it being challenging. I don't mind when I make a strategic mistake or I fail to execute and miss all my shots and die. I hate it, I just live with it because I had a change. However, in this game I never have a chance. I get squashed by skilled players that know what they are doing. They play great. No disrespect to them at all... they do what they are supposed to do.. kill.

    My point is last season the top players complained because their matches were too sweaty all the time. I feel the result of that is Apex listened and threw us scrubs to the wolves so their gameplay experience would be fun and rewarding by squashing some bad players like myself.

    Btw, I am speaking of my console PS4 account. I am low level on PC and doing better. That will change too once my level gets higher and I play tougher players.

    A game with fair match making? Any game with an Elo-like system, which creates matches where everyone is a similar Elo. Pretty much anything non-Elo based is just a gated pubstomp mode.

    Other issue is that sbmm for matching randoms seems to just be about average sbmm rating of team, so if you're good (for the lobby you are in), you will usually get two bad team mates. In the lobby you can expect to find some premades with the same average rating, but all be similar skill, some premades all of higher skill, and a load more groups like your own random 2 bad 1 good, and a few awful teams. Essentially what you end up with is every random team is 1 solo and 2 cannon fodder, then you have a few premades who are likely to win, and the weaker premades still have a chance if they 3rd correctly, or are assisted by some surviving  good solos. Occasionally the system actually matches you up with a couple of players who are at your level and puts you in a lobby where you are relatively strong. It's a sort of "wait your turn to have a chance to win" sort of thing if you solo queue.

    The same average sbmm team creation seems to occur in ranked for the solos there.

    So, whatever you do, as a solo random queuer, you are usually going to have to squad wipe, including premades, to have fun.

    To squad wipe in this environment with any consistency you have to be a whole other level of mechanical skill strat tactics compared to many of the enemy.

    Since you're going to be essentially solo vs whole teams of your skill in casual and ranked as a random, you may as well simply go smurfing, where you will be solo vs whole teams of an often manageable skill level. Lots of people do this. This means there are often a load of smurfs at low ranks, and this is great: you have a load of people to gather loot for you and you get some nice fights vs other smurfs 1v1. We have created our own solo queue, since random team matchmaking is unbearable due to premades and effectively solo mode anyway.

    Some people may say git gud i have 5kd 15% win bla bla at whatever point they are at... well those people are simply playing people way below their skill level, even at predator the skill gaps are huge, and the REASON mediocre teams can get to those places, is because they don't have to fight premades of similar skill, they can just stomp good solo + 2 cannon fodder in the games with hard premades and still place, and they get their big point gains when they are the hard team in the lobby.

    Ofcourse this means the flow of new players will dry up faster and faster as they are stomped on as a makeshift solo queue, then those using it as a solo queue will move on, and then ranks will become much harder and a lot of people will quit when they can no longer achieve the ranks they previously could without grinding even more (if they can reach those ranks at ALL when faced with a lobby full of premade and not half random solo queuers matchmade to * them as much as possible, most of the time.

    If they will not
