Apex Denies Unfair Arenas Ranking Rewards. PLEASE FIX!

Apex Ranked Arenas reward system currently kicks me from 6 out of 10 games and fails to fill lobbies on approx 3 of 10 games. I have proven Apex to have placed me against Platinum players as a Silver...

@TeddieBurr Arenas matchmaking is pretty terrible. I don’t understand why people can’t be placed with others in their same rank. Recently I played a game and afterwards when my teammates invited me, I saw they were like mid-gold and I’m Diamond IV. Very unfair and makes no sense. If I can get same rank teammates in BR why can’t I get two others in my rank for arenas, where you only need a total of 6 people compared to 60? That plus only getting +30something for a win has heavily deincentivized me to play ranked arenas, not to mention regular arenas which I hardly touch.

@MyName1sNotJohnright now I get why matchmaking might be scuffed, since it's like less than a week before rank reset, nobody is willing to play, me included cause is it wort going from bronze 4 climb when the rank is about to reset? I'd rather wait after reset to play so I have time to actually climb and not to get reset midway

@damsonwhufndthis That makes sense for BR, but Arenas has no split, so it shouldn’t be an issue for anyone to get matched with the same ranks. Unless, of course, the population of Ranked Arenas is so small that they literally have to pull from different ranks to fill queues which would be ridiculous. I want to say they are basing it more off the hidden MMR value than rank, but if I as a Diamond can get matched with golds then something is weird about MMR. I don’t think golds want to be matched with diamonds either.

  @MyName1sNotJohnArenas have no splits? what do you mean I thought they had splits like ranked? or does Arenas wait longer before reseting ranks?

    @damsonwhufndthis Right, Arenas has no split unlike BR. Your rank does not get reset at all for arenas until the season is over

  @MyName1sNotJohnI just had lvl 10 and lvl 70 on my team, I am Plat III atm. It is very common to get silver-ish teammates. I don't remember ever getting matched with other Platinum players, most are gold/silver.

    @BaldWraithSimp But it doesn’t show you in-game what their rank is right? I can’t help but feel they hide it on purpose. Only reason I knew my teammates’ rank was they invited me and I saw it at the menu.
