Apex has got a lot harder in the past couple of weeks!

@Marge010

It’s entirely possible you’re better than you think (slightly above average). Whatever the case, we’re all chewing each other alive while my boys (who are very casual players; usually never make it above gold 4) are enjoying themselves in relatively calm lobbies. THIS is the anecdotal evidence which leads me to believe what we’re experiencing is intentionally and not a product of the other theory (that casuals are done with the BP and not currently playing).
