You need to wait a week or two before all those pre-mades get in rank where they belong and before all smurfs get in their rank. Smurfing really should be bannable.
I just play Battlefield 5 in meantime and I might even stick with it instead of Apex, because its really fun, not that competitive, not about winning, but just having fun and that graphics and effects, its just another level Im telling you. 🙂
I was always solo in Diamond since S11 and I can really agree that APex is too hard for me now.
Super hard ranked games for solo players lead to super hard TRIOS for casual or new players because all those skilled Ranked players switching to TRIOS.
Its just too hard playing against pre-made teams with randoms.
It will get better, it just wont be tomorow.

Without question the number one issue from players for fixes to Apex & has been for many seasons now is a fix to SBMM but this request has always fell on deaf ears.And to be brutally honest I don't believe this issue will ever be fixed not just in Apex but also in other games like Fortnite, COD etc as well.Whether I'm playing Apex on my Xbox Series X (I'm level 302) or my PS5 (I'm level 500) in pubs I'm constantly pitted against pred squads & players with 40k plus kills with their respected Legend of choice I can honestly say there isn't one element of fairness in the game full stop which is why so many players complain now that matches are over in seconds what with hot drops,poor loot layout,match fill issues & general mis-matches because Respawn base their assumption that all players want quick instant matches regardless of the fact these quick fill matches often result in poor quality instantly killed seconds into the game matches.My nephew started playing Apex mid season 13 & is at Level 20 but he has found out already SBMM just doesn't exist for him now where he is constantly killed by enemies with over 2k+ kills to their name.

Yeah they stomp on weak and others having fun watching it. :D It really tells something about humanity. :D You should stand by weak, trying to protect them I think. 🙂

In times of Greece there was Coloseum and Gladiators were fighting there to death while other people enjoyed watching it.
So I guess this trend could be worse. :D
Also those streamers are mostly cocky as hell, I dont really like them.
I understand that smurfing in pay to play games is allowed because it simply brings money, but in free to play it brings literally nothing to game company except ruinin experience for other players in their game and absolutelly breaking any kind of MM system.

Yeah, it has been pretty brutal after Day 1 for average players like me who don't try to smurf.
Last season lots of people started in Ranked to check out the changes. I think more people are avoiding Ranked from the start so pubs are much sweatier. That's my theory anyway.
SBMM is still garbage so I'm finding myself with teammates worse than me &/or opponents much better than me far more often at the start of S14 than at the start of S13. Makes for a very high level of non-fun.

@HappyHourSumwur you're not wrong pubs is the real ranked mode because you can push really hard with no consequences and you can instantly requeue after getting downed unlike ranked where you don't push too hard if you do you lose points and you can't leave the game after getting downed

haha 2024 and I'm a .3kd MnK player and I'm dying to 3 stacks with all the badges in pubs! Matchmaking is the worst it's ever been! So all I play is mixed tape which is kinda boring but at least I'm not dead and back to the lobby every 2 minutes!
