That's exactly what I've been experiencing. It seems very rigged in the sense that you eventually will get a "easy server" so to speak; a server that you most definitely will win on.
It think they do this mainly to keep player on the game
I heard TSM Viss on twitch talking about the mechanics of EOMM in apex and it made perfect sense to what I was experiencing and my theory about it matched up with what he said.
He said that there is nothing called SBMM and it's just a concept to shroud the real mechanics of the matchmaking which is EOMM.
I think it's made like this because it's probably easier to sell or market a game concept based on skill rather than a rigged and false system based on win//lose rate.
If they take the liberty of having concealed or rigged matchmaking, I don't see any limitations to having some players get "optimized" aim settings over others on some servers as an aid along with the EOMM system to rig them to win. This is what I was talking about in original post about Target Compensation and spread settings feeling either very off or very on point. I have also seen a lot of posts about complaints about controllers on PC and they feel like they are "beamed" down at a faster rate than normal and when they spectate, they probably can see by how they move that they are playing with controller.
What I am mainly talking about is how Target compensation and spread seems rigged from server to server, because it varies from server to server, but about the discussion with how controllers are superior to mouse I will say that: when comparing recoil control and tracking between controller and mouse, the mouse is a laser in comparison and superior at range. The effect of vertical recoil and especially horizontal recoil and added horizontal drift is almost non-existent using a mouse compared to a controller. On some weapons like the Havoc, using a controller at range is almost impossible and useless, but with a mouse I am able to use it just as effective as close range.
Tbh I seen it to were I'm a level 69 and I get paired with level 1s and level 10s while my enemies all are ranging on 100s to 500 platinum players apex predators even if i try my hardest to survive and out play the player the game says no and makes then some how win like i had half sheild but full health and had a blue helm and sheild knocks one guy but then the one that has litterly 1hp insta kills by somehow getting lucky in landing a headshot all bullets no misses while I shoot back at him and unable to land one bullet point blank with the best setup I can have.
