Why is there np permanent quads mode

@Truscher

The reason it isn't permanent (and same goes for solos) is that the matchmaking in this game is already strained beyond credibility. In unranked trios, the bedrock game type of Apex Legends, the matchmaking has got bad enough that matches now regularly include players from the opposite poles of the skill spectrum. That should not ever happen. Part of the reason it's happening is because of over all population decline. But another part of the reason is because the remaining player base is divided between too many playlists. The better players won't care about what this does to matchmaking, or maybe even notice. But lower-skilled players are the canaries in the coal mine. They very much notice the difference between dying in a hard-fought scrimmage with similarly skilled players, and getting instantaneously erased by a master level three stack. It used to be mostly the former and once in a while the latter. Now it's almost reversed. How can Respawn sustain the game when it keeps bleeding players away to other games, largely because of the horrific matchmaking? That's why too many modes is a game killer.

@reconzero Nah I don't think the lower player base is of any concern for that... we still get a game to launch after 5 seconds at 3 am in the middle of the night.

It's the same reason why they removed solos... they think it somehow doesnt fit the Apex games. We loved the mode tough that's all that matter, if there is too many ultimates and stuff then just increase the cooldown for all tacticals and ultimates by 50%

@Palette24carats

The fact that you're getting a five second wait at 3am is EXACTLY the problem. Because speed is prioritized over accuracy, you end up in a match that very likely has players from both the top and bottom 5%.

@reconzero Yes that is odd hence my new theory about there is no sbmm matchmaking at all! I get the sweats all the time and it is the same for everyone. I get bronze 4 sweats with the most awesome badges and I also get triple stack 20 bomb badge teams to end my game.
