Skill-based matchmaking has a negative effect on the game-experience
"Skill-based matchmaking"
I want to say that I haven't enjoyed a game more than Apex Legends until the so called "Skill Based Matchmaking" came out.
Apex is my first BR game after playing Uncharted 3&4 and Battlefield 1 and was really eager to get better by learning movement and when to push/not to push people. Yes, I had a hard time in the first season, but in the 2nd season I got better and better and this season I got to Predator in 3 weeks. If I want to play against players who have similar skill, I play ranked. If I wanted to chill a bit and have a good time without getting 4th partied I played pubs, until this skill based matchmaking came out.
-It's not rewarding to get better in the game anymore, as you are getting queued up with more sweaty people the better you get.
-It doesnt affect anything, besides the true sweatlords are going to make smurfaccounts to dominate the easier lobbies.
-qeue-times are increased now
-sometimes the servers are trash, because the focus is on playersmatching instead of servermatching
-This afternoon I played like 15 games, without getting a single(!) level 100+ as a random, with not even relateable banners comparing with mine (I am level 114 atm with 4k badges and 20k badges), while I have to fight fully decked squads who do have those stats. I honestly don't know the actual reason why Respawn implemented the skill-based matchmaking, but I notice that the game isnt as fun as it used to be anymore for me.
Yeah, I know, who cares that 1 guy doesnt like the game anymore, but just wanted to see how your opinions are on this subject.
