"And how are they going to prevent that better players will start new accounts to go into noob lobbies to slay out?"
They will not, but it will at least reduce the stomping. Since the veteran play will skyrocket through the ranks.
And while i don't think a ladder clearly splitting players in various ranks is bad. Stopping streamers that play 12 hours a day being matched against noobs lvl 1, like happened in that pathetic "rivals" event, would be a great start.
I would consider myself above average, but i have friends that are just starting to play on PC and seeing them get stomped by players with rank 60 with over 1k of kills isn't fun. They complain and they have the right to complain. Because at this point they aren't even playing the game, they are just moving targets so other people look good.
That story of "how they will learn then?" is said by people that either don't know * about the game and want easy kills or people that doesn't understand skill progression.
You learn something from people that are slightly above you. Not from people are so high that you don't even understand what they are doing or talking about.
In a more real world situation; saying they will learn something from getting stomped by these players is the same as giving a trigonometric exercise to a kid that just learned addition and expect the kid to learn something from it. That's not going to happen.
PS: it's the third time that i'm posting this and the forum isn't showing my message. If for some reason i got triple post; you know why.
Did I miss it?
Was there any feedback from Respawn on that topic?
Anyone knows of any plans (or lack of it)?
All we want is an answer if they will bring it into Apex, and of course they can't tell us anything.

We've been watching this post and making sure Respawn is aware of your feedback. We unfortunately do not have anything to share right now on any plans or implementation of a skill-based matchmaking system. As a competitive gamer myself, I definitely see a lot of valid arguments for it in here. Respawn recently had another check-in yesterday which I'll link below. They're very committed to addressing some specific issues surrounding the game right now like crashes and stability. When we find out more information on upcoming content or game design plans we'll ping it to you ASAP.
Keep the suggestions coming and good luck in the ring!
Thanks Man for the feedback! 🙂
