Why Am I matched against level 500+ when im only level 20??

I assure you that we competitive players are far more upset about getting low-level players like you on our team that end up doing absolutely nothing in ranked matches, than the other way around. I hit Diamond 4 and literally get nothing but neurologically defective level 200 platinum 4 and gold 4 brickwalls. It makes the game unplayable without a premade. 

Why doesnt EA do something about it then ?? I thought they were a good company

Trust me, I’m level 64, and I don’t want to play with you either, SugaryJuice. I’m not sure it’s a competition regarding who is most frustrated. Your high level wouldn’t be the only reason I don’t want you in my lobby.

You stumbled on the reason in your post. Apex has two main lobbies: tutorial and main. Tutorial only match makes new accounts with under 100 kills to their name together. This is to allow players to learn against similarly naive players. It also serves to give the algorithms a chance to gauge your performance relative to the actual player base.

Your point about playing high-level players misses a couple things, however. 

1: High level does not equate to high skill. Hitting level 500 can easily come from simply surviving in matches. Such players often are not the best when it comes to actual combat.

2: Many badges were able to be earned through glitches and unintended means during the games first few months (I.e. ShadowFall, Dashboarding, etc.)

3: Matchmaking is based upon performance averaging. You will always be matched with a balance of players based upon your performance in a 24hr period. If you stomp your first match of the session or just came out of tutorial lobbies with high stats, the game will start you in the ‘big leagues’.

     Part of the intent behind this is to provide chances for players to grow in skill, by putting them in higher stakes matches, and providing more challenging foes.

4: Survivorship bias is kinda at play here. In any given match, the team who kills you either had better luck or greater skill. Often, these teams are fresh off the remains of other teams who are around the same skill as you. Because a few teams naturally perform better together, they rapidly annihilate the lower-skill teams. This is amplified by the player-base’s tendency to hit-drop to only a few POIs.

5: Your good is often someone else’s meh level. A team of skilled players on a bad streak may end up in lower lobbies. Pair this with a winning streak on your half, and you could end up face to face.

6: Active players. There are only so many players online at a time on any data center. Apex tries to match make similar skills the best it can, but it only goes so far. At some point, it is designed to forgo that by degrees in order to fill matches. This results in mid-tier players being sucked into higher matches so as to fill out the 60.

Yeah I dont care what reasons anyone has here to why it makes sense, because it doesn't to me. Just trying to have fun here and this is the * I have to deal with. Just killed by a guy with 6000 kills, who has 4x more game wins than I have kills. He obliterated me, didnt miss a single shot. Apex is a joke.

Look what I get steamrolled by in matchmaking. Dudes didnt miss a single bullet. "MaTcHmAkInG!"

Ok Yh skill base matching but why then people are using keyboard and mouse on consoles with help of aim assist,and I’m matching with them and I’m using controller. EA need to make that you are allowed to use keyboard and mouse but then you are match with pc players

Yep. I'm level 107 and I've been playing on and off since the game came out. I installed the game back about 2 weeks ago. My first match the champion squad had 4K damage badge, 20 kill badge and a platinum rank badge. Wraith player, 14.5k kills 1M+ damage. It's insane. I have a negative kd, and my highest amount of kills in a game is 8. Highest damage: 1808. So if Apex really does have SBMM I guess the game doesn't have enough players to match me against ppl my skill level.
