Why are pubs being regulated the same as ranked? What is the point of having two separate modes with the same matchmaking?
17 Seasons of steady K:D and win rate improvement, only to be put up against non-stop lobbies of equally-skilled or better-skilled players in the name of equity. Haven't seen stats like these since Season 1.
So if we're good at the game, we get the same level of satisfaction as someone who is a beginner. Doesn't matter if you're better than 99% of the players when you are only allowed to face the top 1%.
The implementation of this matchmaking system has been the first time I've not enjoyed Apex pubs. What's the point in playing pubs if it's just ranked without the credit?
I have no faith in the MMR system in the first place with my past experience with ranked arena. It was the most stressfull game for me since quitting overwatch for apex. I used to be top 500 in overwatch and 99% percentile in apex ranked. I used to love apex ranked cuz it lets you slay through all the rank, only one rank (that is diamond if you are master)you actuially have to grind hard. It was a much more efficient algorithm to rank the players. Now i guess its the Playing Time KPI have trapped them all. you have to grind from rookie and play master level games since the beginning, which is exactly how ranked arena worked back then. The rank hardly represents you skill and you know you mmr is hight cuz you are matched with pred 3 stacks. Only catch is that it`s no longer a zero sum game when it comes to battle royale. So devs don`t have the backfire as hard.
