A Matchmaking Rant
Right, my son loaded up today, four or five games in he ends up with a player who is ranked #13 on Apex Tracker for Kills. He got LASERED across the map by said player with a R99. My son has played 1,150 games and has 1,193 kills. His lifetime k/d is 1.03. Why is this player in with him? His teammates were random noobs.
Myself now. (I have also had this player in my lobby, more than once). My lifetime k/d is 1.09. I am constantly in games with the 20 kill / 4,000k Damage gang or Preds. How?!
If there are the reported 70,000,000 accounts, which worst case scenario leaves 15,000,000 active players across all platforms, roughly 5,000,000 players per platform. Over the last three seasons there can only be 125,000 preds per platform, right?! (Max 2.5% of any platform as some will repeat the feat.)
So this guy has been put in a lobby that is an absolute cake walk. My son and I are closer to the bottom than the top. So why are we as paying customers being used as cannon fodder for Preds?
That is like putting me in with new starters, which never happens. I feel matchmaking should give every team / player an opportunity to win that lobby. But with these teams there is zero chance.
Why are they given such favourable lobbies compared to us lesser mortals??
