Skill matching is not working at all.

Clearly the skills match is not working. There are frequent occurrences where two allies are clearly beginners, but all enemies are high rank (Master or Predator rank players). I really don't under...

@MayProtein Respawn doesn't understand how to measure skill (they won't tell us their formula so we'll never know) and even if they did, their system only takes it partially into consideration.

Apex matchmaking is absolutely horrible, especially if there are randoms involved (solo queue or premade duo in trios). The blog post is complete BS . . . they don't know how to fix it.

    @HappyHourSumwur I agree with you. However, you are implying that the developers WANT to improve something, but CAN'T. In the meantime, I'm no longer sure about the WANT.

      I would like to believe that Respawn themselves want to fix issues. I truly believe that they do not decide the outcome/direction et cetera of the game... I believe EA does. I assume when a Respawn dev approaches a EA representative and says "this needs to be fixed and this needs to be change" - They probably hear something along the lines of  - " That doesn't make us money" or "Dont waste our time on those things, as long as money is still coming in... the game works and is fine." 

      Maybe not. But imma stick with my gut.    ; )

        @ComicBookGuy2727i think it is like The Boys. EA is Vought and Respawn is The Seven. EA ays "go make money" and Respawn is like "Yes! I get paid to make a bunch of skins and that's easy money! Fixing stuff and doing the right thing is hard so screw that!"
