I've been a huge fan of this game and still really enjoy the gameplay (thumbs up to the devs). Unfortunately whatever is happening with matchmaking has ruined the experience for me and I've uninstalled the game. I'm an above average, but not great player. Been playing since the beginning, daily for past 18 months. Spent on every season and put the time into improving my skill. Sadly I just can't take it anymore.
Metrics will show I'm a highly engaged player, yet the reality is that I'm chasing one good game amongst dozens of games against players that destroy me. All while watching my stats drip ever lower. Every game is a sweaty exercise in frustration. This really saddens me and I'll happily come back when I start reading that something is being done to bring back a more casual experience in pubs.
Special note to whoever is making the decisions about sbmm (eomm, elo, or whatever flavor you're using)... please consider that in pursuit of "engagement" you've lost someone who's spent hundreds of dollars and would have continued spending (and advocating) on this otherwise great game. Also, maybe do an honest survey and see just how many of your highly engaged players are actually having fun. You just might find that engagement does not equal fun.
My 2 Friends an myself also quit Apex. We are new Players and started with Season 9. Since we always play together (my friends on a Switch lite wich is already a hughe disadvantage), we get put in Mega Pred Sweat Lobby’s because we join as a „premade“ Squad. It’s no fun at all and we went back to Fortnite…
Arena was fun for a while and the Matchmaking was ok there but it’s getting old…
