This game has stopped being about fun
I've played Apex with my friends since launch and this is the worst it's ever been due to the horrid matchmaking. I'm a casual gamer who plays maybe once a week with my friend who's long distance and...

Brother, everything you wrote multiple times made sense and was quite easy to understand... don't sweat over it. I know what your saying : )
Mod Nightmare's comment - "Comparison to what you are demanding is to get into boxing ring with superheavyweight and ask him not to hit you too hard... forgetting that even his not too hard will knock your brains out :)"
I took your words as the exact opposite of this... not sure what he's reading?
If I am considered a welterweight, I would understand going up against welterweights, super welterweight or even middleweight. But why would a welterweight be pitted up against a heavyweight... why? Over and over and over again, regardless of the outcome. Why would a 147lb fighter going up against 200 - 250lb fighters. Obviously getting your a$$ knocked out is the only option here.
I've been playing this game since launch before seasons were a thing... trust me when I tell you... it has never been this way in Pubs. If you removed SBMM right now, it would prob feel better than whatever rEAspawn has been doing as of late with MM.
Let's be clear - removing SBMM from pubs is the only sensible solution.
Why? Because 3stack master/preds will destroy every lobby anyway. It doesn't matter if it's a lobby of players from Silver to Diamond.
And removing SBMM will make it much less common to encounter such teams and shorten matchmaking times, which sometimes last five minutes... Which is insane, because I often play for a minute just to wait five minutes for the next game.
This game will simply die without this change. We can't have every mode feel like it was built for professionals.
A game is also supposed to be fun, and Apex hasn't felt that way in a long time due to its TERRIBLE matchmaking.
I have a blast playing in pubs for 1-2 minutes and then waiting 5 minutes for the next game. Sometimes I'll play for 15-20 minutes in an hour, and the rest of the time I'm staring at the monitor, hoping to find the next match where I'll be crushed by the same teams from the previous hour. Nice game.
After 30 seasons, it's come to the point where solo Q in this game, in every mode, is simply a disaster. Respawn, don't be surprised that there are no new players and you're unable to attract them to Apex. Too many problems, too many unfair solutions.
I'm 31 years old. I don't have time to play something where I spend 70% of my time staring at the lobby trying to find me a match with the same people day after day. If nothing changes, I will leave because this game is a real circus.
Out of curiosity what server are you playing on? I can't remember ever waiting longer than one minute in the last 7 years or more playing Apex, pubs or ranked. Ranked sometimes takes a little longer, but pubs is usually instant unless its like 5am or so.
