Sick of playing against 3 stacked squads in public matches

Respawn please look into match making again... I'm sick of playing against 3 stacked squads in public matches!!! So to clarify this is when 3 friends get together and play in public matches mainly against other teams who solo queue!! How is this fair?? They have a massive advantage using comms and team familiarity etc. If you want to play with 3 friends then that's fine of course, but they should be in a queue with other 3 stacked squads doing the same thing to even things out. For example the other day I was with a guy with 12k kills and another with 2k kills, then the champion squad were all preds with 28k + kills, obviously all friends playing together. They destroyed the entire lobby of course we stood no chance against that sort of skill and coordination...

    It is fair because THIS IS A FRIGGING TEAM BASED GAME YOU SELFISH, SELFISH PERSON. 

    EVERY single team based game you go on the forums and LOSERS, who keep going solo, refusing to turn on their mic and talk and get others to talk......LOG ON TO A FRIGGING GAMING FORUM....FOR THE VERY GAME THEY ARE CRYING ABOUT......AND INSTEAD OF FINDING OTHER PEOPLE........WHO CLEARLY ALSO LOVE THE SAME GAME.........AND TEAMING UP.......THEY TAKE THEIR SELFISH SELF ONTO THE BOARDS AND DEMAND THAT THE TEAM BASED GAME BE CHANGED......SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO PLAY SOLO OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND SOMEHOW FAIR WELL.

    @OnyxGuardsmanyou okay? This game does not work if there is always just one in team with skill. It's not about selfish, its about garbage system in this game and people like you.

    @OnyxGuardsman This sort of system already implement in some game.

    Is not about refusing to turn on mic and get others to talk. This game is play by everyone worldwide, you can have some of the best teamwork and you would still struggling to work with random due to language barrier and how bad the server can be sometimes.

    When the server is lagging, using mic to talk is an audacious task. The player sometimes couldn't hear you and you don't often have the luxury of time to type out the word either.

    Don't expect the ping system to be extremely reliable either. It is a pain to try ping a target from far only to end up pinging the wrong thing, causing a miscommunication in the progress. Plus, the ping feature doesn't include every single thing.

    Sure, you can use forum to find people. But different time zone, region and etc is another problem to tackle with. Just look at the Find a Squad section and see how many people demanding high skills player only.

    @Sick1Click More like the game base is dying. Less player means filling a lobby would either take time or having a bigger gap between the player skills standard.

    I team with a same player 3 times in a row in singapore server while playing solo. In order for a system that allowed solo strict que to be implement, it need a huge playerbase to execute it.

    Don't judge players who play with friends. If they change the system to "Pre-made squads vs pre-made squads only", "Duo squad + random vs duo squad + random only" this will not work at all, the time to find players will be increased to 5-10 min aka NO! You better find some friends to play with, get used to it, or just change the game. I only play with friends in ranked, but I started doing the same in normal because the SBMM system is pretty * up.

    @OnyxGuardsman Here are some of the reasons why people prefer to play SOLO instead of helping the other two.

    1 - The solo guy is level 500+ + Diamond/Master/Predator
    ~ his team = below level 200 + silver/gold not even platinum
    2 - The solo guy dibs something (ammo, shield, meds)
    ~ but his squadmate doesn't care and takes it.
    3 - When you are mixed with people who thinks - "OMG, 20 BOMBS, 4K DAMAGE, 500+ LEVEL/MASTER/PREDATOR", please carry me.
    ~ They choose to land in at the blue zone and die in 10 seconds.
    4 - The solo guy who has been playing the game from the beginning and the game mixes him with someone who started playing 1 month ago.
    ~ brain cell loss

    there are many more, but that's not important 🙂

    I do sometimes play with other people, but due to work and other demands it's not always possible. My point is 3 players in a team have a massive advantage over equally skilled random solo squads... the amount of time I'm simply rushed by 3 people obviously all on comms is comical, you stand no chance no matter how good you are. Maybe 2 stacked squads is fine so as not to have massive wait times. But 3 stacked squads should play in a separate queue. I know a few pros such as Diego think exactly the same thing...

    @RagingbyALEX 

    I see it differently. For example, I don't buy a car just to drive with friends. It's nice to have friends with you, but that is and should not be a requirement. I have friends that I can play with, but now I play a lot more than my friends, they are not always available to me.

    In Apex Legends there is the possibility to embark on an adventure yourself, to play randomly with others and that is a good thing. Only it should be more balanced, fairer.

    I think there would be a lot of ways to improve the overall gaming experience. I think many share the feeling that this system should be improved.

    Sometimes I think of things like: Squads of 3, but you can only start with a maximum of two in the lobby and then always get assigned a random one. I think that would provide more dynamism and balance.

    Don't nail me on it now, that's just one of many ideas. What I'm saying is that there are many things you could do if you wanted to. Nothing would go wrong if one were to test such ideas on the basis of an event. Things that the community likes could then be integrated into the correct game mode.

    @Sick1Click At the moment, their system works in a way that is pleasant for new players, not for old ones. Before they turn on SBMM, everything was different and you didn't have to play with friends only. Many people have very good ideas, but the DEV team doesn't really care. Their main goal is bigger profits and more new players.
