Re: Uninstalled. Matchmaking solo pubs went from bad to sadistic.

Easy relative to what? I'd argue it's the hardest stage it's ever been at, because you only face people equal to your hidden MMR. Your rank is simply an indication of how much you have played that season, since your diamond lobbies and my diamond lobbies might not be the same. Not only that, if you've played solo queue I can certainly tell you the MM system isn't working in your favour. Constantly getting placed with silvers when I'm diamond 1. They might roughly be the same skill, but I lose -75 LP while my teammates only lose -50. Do you think that will create discrepancies in playstyle?

Why is it so easy, then? Because you're sitting outside zone with medkits until top 10?

 Please tell me again how it's relatively easy to climb...

  • Not only what you said but this is atrocious, I get no points for skill, no "bonus points" and no kill points and im killing people with master badges since silver4 - sometimes I get 1 or 2 points per kill, sometimes I get 1 point for 4 kills and  no matter where I place in the end , completely random with the latter being more often, My last win in ranked (Im gold 4 now) team has 15 kills, I have 4 and 7 asissts and 4 of those "participations" I got 169 points for a win, and a  lot of times i get 0 of anything, only placement points. And yes ranking up is hard very hard this season - Im playing for 3 and i was gold my first , plat my second and diamond 3rd, I have been locked in silver 2 for a week this season 18 gaining placement points then losing them all in next 3-4 games because my teammates have literal iq of an empty glass...  

  • @kladdig Well I don’t know what to say really if you consider it hard to climb.
    I have no issues climbing and no I don’t sit in zone spamming medkits…
    My kdr is 1.71 and avg dmg is arround 600 per game so I would believe my lobbies are not that * when it comes to mmr.
    I’m not playing much anymore but when I play I climb easily.

    @kladdig Hate to be harsh but they dont care one bit. They never come here and read post the couldn't give two you know what.

    The game's profit is close to 2 billion so for them its fine. Matchmaking has always been an issue the last number of seasons and it just gets worse and worse.

    While they might have made a lot of money, if you are a CEO that is truly honest with yourself about the Health of The Gaming Industry vs Cheating, you should not be believing that the current state is great success.

    Sure, everyone can argue that there's always going to be a certain level of issues and acceptable risks, known as the cheaters, but you have to honestly look at the gaming world and see, from the Gaming World's perspectives this is not success.

    I do not know any of the EA executives running this company, or what their cares or worries are, when it comes to this game.

    Let's look at least, at one FACT here; "Building Healthy Communities Summit"!

    https://www.ea.com/news/building-healthy-communities-summit

    Here we have the The Positive Play Charter.
    https://www.ea.com/news/the-positive-play-charter

    Our Commitment to Positive Play

    https://www.ea.com/commitments/positive-play

    So, is EA still in the business of building a Healthy Online Gaming Experience in Apex?


    Hmm 🤔

  • @AnyBrainsYou don't need to fight again "Building a healthy communities" They litteraly don't care and proved it on previous season and current season, I am a solo player from the start of the game, being diamond and master a lot of time (Highest kill is 28 and damage is 5600). I've uninstall this game today cause of the bad mmr, i'm currently in silver and facing only predator and master (Yes i've being master multiple time but well i'm silver, i litteraly don't want to play agains top 1% player while i am in a low elo, if it's in diamond/master rank i wouldn't complain, that normal)
    It's litteraly unplayable for me cause i have always 2 bot with me again pro player 🙂 and even if i do a good game i'll don't win a lot of point....
    The game gonna just die and that all, since season 12 they really fuckedup the matchmaking
    Also people don't come with the "yOuR aRe MaStER why you complaining" nah boi, i'm master in a silver lobby and didn't play for months, silver is silver. I shouldn't play with some master/pred player here

    Right now i'm litteraly STUCK in silver and always leave the game after 3 game full tilted cause of the lobby and my mate being some news player/bot, sorry i'm not aceu/faide who can solo some pred squad

    Even in Pub my lobby is the same. where is the fun?! 

    It's always in Hardmode, you can't even chill anymore in apex, even if i stop for month my mmr is still the same and i'll face only top player...

    And no i don't have the time to tryhard like a streamer or a pred. I play for fun and doesn't want to play 500h in one season only to pleasure apex dev with their bad mmr
