When does the rigged matchmaking end ?

I hope the matchmaking update is included in S16.  The matchmaking is the single worst thing about this game.

It is almost as if you're rewarded for creating smurf accounts in this game.

A smurf account is held back from harder lobbies until certain rank. Then EOMM will kick in afterwards and mix with all sorts. Saw rank 12 get 4K 20 bomb whilst spectating. Definitely not a one week player then. He will probably create another account to reset himself. Maybe that is the way EA want people to play going forward even if it means:

Just means going through 15 min tutorial and stuck with first Legends from Season 1. Guessing maining Lifeline isn't a bad thing.

Cosmetics lost when creating new account.

EA does allow multiple accounts, but not if a person is doing so to bypass a ban.

Matchmaking isn't something that's fixed in a single update, it will become better over time.

Well making a new matchmaking system isn't as simple as just suggesting a different way to do something.

Prototypes have to made and they have to be tested, next to that a lot of data has to be collected to check if it's going the correct direction.

Currently matchmaking might become worse for a lot of users than before they announced they were working on it due to a lot of prototypes that are probably being introduced.

I think it's safe to assume they're actually taking a proper stance and that they are actually going to try to fix the issue, otherwise they wouldn't put out such a blog post.

I played ranked last night. I am in gold 4. Saw a level 35, killed me early....spectated till the end. Watch him decimate the entire lobby. finished with 22 kills and over 5000 damage. IN A GOLD 4 LOBBY! 

So while this person was allow by Respawn to smurf "for the grind" - almost the entire lobby lost RP and got their as*ses handed to them so this smurf could have fun destroying us all and forcing us all down so he could enjoy the grind for the  "blank" time? 

What is that? 

@XHelperZthat blog post is a phony lie, i get paired up with literally noobs against master players , no bucket fairytale can explain that, only those other variables do ... means its rigged : "since we also need to consider queue times and other variables outside of skill rating.".
Its not that hard to determine a skillvalue and pair up somewhat suitable matches, other multiplayer games do that since ages in a successful way. Only if you want to steer certain elements or outcomes then it gets messy and thats whats happening. Do you think they would have come forward if there wasnt a group of dataminers proving Respawns past statements false. Its pure damage control.

The blog post is meant to inform, like mentioned previously, it's not an instant update. 

This is something they're still working on, so I don't see why you think this is a lie.

In a response to these weird matchups they've released a statement that such behaviour was normal in a certain time period due to them testing something in relation with the matchmaking. What we're currently seeing could be an extension of that or another prototype they're testing.

Don't see how it's rigged.

I've had quite the experience with Overwatch a long time back, players kept complaining it was rigged this and that.

Most of the times it was functioning more than fine, though seems like it sometimes operated outside the margin of error.

Now Apex is a really different game, so matchmaking systems cannot be detected.

From my perspective the matchmaking system in used right as of now seems to be quite outdated, though it's far from "rigging" matches.

If they're rigging the matchmaking then matchmaking in a lot of cases would've shown to be quite normal, yet it looks outdated.

Just because they're behind and it isn't functioning properly doesn't mean it's rigged, this isn't intentionally bad.
