Unacceptable Skill disparity in Rank games

So I stopped playing once again for another good 6 months I am now back to grinding ranked.

It's all so clear to me now I make comparisons with other games, when I play Rocket League competitive rank mode (or even casual) I NEVER , I repeat NEVER play against players that are way above my skill level, I am a Gold player and never get players that are diamond skill level in any of my games, that would not make any sense to not be able to compete, like they said 5 years ago: Play against similar skill level opponents in ranked! (Apex)

But in Apex legends no matter how we complain about it since 2022 and the fake solutions they get us like the hidden MMR, it never changes a single bit, no matter if Im Silver, Gold or Platinum I play against Masters and Masters smurfs ALL THE TIME!!!!!! This screws the game totally! And devs had like 7 years to solve this but never did!

The reason I was motivated to write another post today about this is I am now Platinum 4 and got killed by a Gold 2 that was previously a Master, with a 20 frag badge (I never got a 20 kill game even in easy lobbies so why am I playing against him in a random team?) clearly way above our skill level and lower in rank , how does this makes sense????? Why do the lower rank players ALWAYS are the highest skilled players? This goes against everything RANKED means. Either smurfs or players coming back but still... this makes it too easy for him and too IMPOSSIBLE for us.

So what happened is that this Gold 2 player won the game with his random teammates with likek 20 kills and 5500 damage. His team had 35 KILLS!!!!! 35 KILLS!!!!!1 They killed more than HALF the players of tdhe game! Why don't you understand ? This is insanity, this is the exact opposite of similar skill players.  This is like me going on ROcket League against players that make 12  goals in a game, they win 12-0 because this Champion skill level player have it so easy, what's the challenge for him then?

And to top it off, I could clearly see he had some anti recoil scripts, he would have 100% accuracy on mid range shots. MMR my **bleep**!

    Yeah it would be soooooooooo simple to solve, if you have a 4k badge you play only against 3k badges and higher. This means everything, means you dominate the battlefield, everything else is meaningless... rank means nothing.

    I just got killed by a team who had a 4k badge, another 4k badge , a 20 frag badge and a 3k badge. That team is offensively very very good like they are the 1% of players, why did I play against them with my 2 randoms that 1 was average and the other one garbage, we fought for a couple of minutes he was shooting and did 0 damage while I was scanning enemies with my drone. Yeah 0 damage is my garbage teammate against 4k badge team.
