Do you have any knowledge of whether Respawn might be manipulating the statistics on Steam Charts?
This season, there's been an increase of about 16,000 people, but I still play with the same people in the lobby day after day. So what's going on here?
If you are referring to apexlegendsstatus.com you can actually ask their support, in my experience they are super friendly and responsive.
I personally never looked into this one as I had exactly same experience since I can remember. My typical grind experience that in many cases forced to switch servers for seasons (like 5-10+) has been:
- same names in discord LFG (my rank)
- repetitive soloq random teammates, especially ones that I call dumb duo stacks = two clowns who can't find the 3rd yet has no skill or intention to teamwork with random solo teammate assigned to them each game
- actually having same teammates in consecutive games since re-queue option was invented in game
- same top / champion squads game after game
- overall same lobbies = you can easily see that when using overwolf that has an option to list all lobby players
That's why I used to switch servers say from Frankfurt to London to Belgium? I guess it was, these days (latest seasons) I just switched from EMEA to NAE.
For me something was not right, for sure those figures of 200k online were doubtful especially when talking about Preds and their lobbies = multiple 3stacks streaming from same region while rarely getting matched in the same lobby / Pred, Masters exclusive lobby. This was like the biggest obvious sign that Respawn matchmaking / player data is shady af. As how shady I guess I do not care as I care to have legit SBMM one only to purely enjoy playing vs +/- same rank players.
