When does the rigged matchmaking end ?

@NerfMyAimPlzI am solidly average with a KDR of around 1.0. In reality, it is probably closer to 0.85 since I rage quit to lobby a bunch, especially when the matchmaking is on a tear.

My unfair matchmaking complaint is about the quality of my losses and the relative skill of both my teammates and opponents. I go 10 games or so with teammates worse than me and getting absolutely obliterated in embarrassing fashion almost every time. I'll go 5-6 games without a kill, too. Then the EOMM will send me my morphine drip game & I'll "pop off" for 5-6 kills and about 1,500 damage.  I'm just barely holding off from uninstalling . . . but just barely.

I am obviously not good enough to carry anyone and yet this game seems to think I am.

All of that combined is what makes the player experience absolutely horrible about 1/3rd of the time.

If they don't fix matchmaking in S16, none of the other crap they are adding or changing will make any difference. It will still be the same old Apex matchmaking BS.

S16 active and MM is still rigged

its even worse than before.
now instead of 70% , now 100% of the mates are newbs.
And the "best" thing is, it even takes more time queueing with a way worse result, great job ... just a great job.
This is simply not playable anymore, thanks a lot !
Too many secret variables for it not to be rigged.
A Prestige LvL 400 with >30K Kills surely doesnt want to waste his time with Lvl 20 3Kill Mates (nor should he even match up with those !),

but smb seems to be too proud to admit that the MM code is utter garbage.
Respawn you gamble away the trust people had in your company !

@NickBeam27i know the paper, i also have seen the phony tweets respawn made back when it came up around 2-3 years ago where they said : "no we dont EOMM" only to admit it in the very next sentence ... what they really said is : "We didnt use that patent", not that they dont use a similar technique.
Then the dataminers took on the challenge and kinda force the hand of Respawn to release another phony statement about the MM (the infamous contradicting Blogpost).
Seems to me they all act like career politicians , that cheat an lie they way to the top.

My Grandma once told me about Occams razor, and if i follow it i have to say : if it feels rigged its most likely rigged !

Still nothing changed , the rigged bullcrap still in place ... how can we belive anything respawn says ?

Don't know when its going to get better, but I hope it happens soon. Here we got a smurphing Loba, a somewhat adverage Wrath who appeared to be hacking, (I say "appears to be", because I was able to get away, but when going to grab my teammate's banners, I saw the Wraith do a quick 180 and I got beamed. Me running back for the box could be heard as well, (I flew briefly as Valk), so its not like they just snapped in my direction), and lastly, we got a masters Valkyrie playing in gold lobbies.

From my perspective the below image suggests that we got a masters player boosting / helping the average Wraith, who may or may not be cheating, along side a smurph console account, who's either being boosted by the other two or just along for the ride. No idea why someone would smurph on console to be honest. I'm mainly guessing its that "one friend" who randomly decided to get back into Apex.

Eitherway, the Valkyrie shouldn't be in a gold match, the Loba shouldn't even be allowed in the match either, while the Wraith, (assuming they're not cheating), is the only one who should be in gold, if not in plat. No idea why the system allows nor caters to these kinds of players.
