@pixelschubser3 Please exclusively play ranked. This will give you a tighter matchmaking experience.

Pubs are casual and the experience will vary. Sometimes you engage an average player and sometimes you engage a masters squad. Unless of course you have a very high ELO, then pubs will be all high diamond to Pred players.

Is your entire lobby 57 Masters players?

Thats what i have already done in Season 11 and thats the only Reason i started playing Ranked in General. The Problem there are the Smurfs and Hackers all the Way to Plat 4 and there you have de-ranked Diamond and Master Players :/ - as well as Preds that are doing this Bullsh*t that needs to be banned in my Opinion like "hOw LoNg dOEs iT tAkE mE to GeT frOm BrONcE tO PrED again?!??!?!?!?1111!?!?!?!?!"...
Or "Bronce to Pred in one Stream" kind of BS.
No, my Lobbies are mostly mixed but minimum 10 Teams in the Lobbies in Trios are Masters or Diamonds and 50% or more of the Lobby has the 4k Badges that i still don't have after 1000+ Hours in this Game.
When I see an Pred Squad in the Champion Screen there are mostly like 2-5 Pred Teams in this Lobby also.

@Axs5626Sxa5001Playing ranked ONLY works if you're Diamond+.
Otherwise, you're just going to get literally * by dozens of smurfs every single * match. Control is the only playable * mode for people who aren't amazing at this game.
There's no reason for new players to play Apex. There's no reason to try in ranked. The only way to play ranked is to hide as much as you can and give up; because there's absolutely no * way in hell you're beating any of the top 5 teams.
Seriously, come play with me. You will find insanely skilled smurfs in 100% of my lobbies. You will see level 40 Wraiths with 900 kills. You will see level 11 Pathfinders with 100 kills.

  @StelioRokos Ok, I hear you.
  
  Quick question:
  
  -Should pubs be a place where everyone always plays their equal?

    @Axs5626Sxa5001 No, but pubs shouldn't be a place where lesser skilled players get destroyed (not just beaten but run over like they are nothing) by better players or cheaters almost all the time. That is what is happening now. I'm one of the lesser skilled players, so why shouldn't I be able to enjoy the game? In my last 30 matches or so, I think I've gotten maybe 15 kills. Everyone I run into instantly kills me in milliseconds. I'm not running around in the open either and I can hit some of my shots, but none of that ever matters. That level of 'success' is not enough to keep me playing. All the preds/cheaters can have that crap and enjoy the sweaty matches they get. I, for one, hate being the one that is pub stomped repeatedly.

@Axs5626Sxa5001 even ranked is messed up, yesterday I was playing in diamond 4 lobby and it was full of current split preds and masters.the main problem is they locked this rank for 750 players per server/region or whatever and when they want to play ranked there are not enough players to match them with so matchmaking starts matching them with other ranks.
a few seasons ago I used to have preds in gold lobbies, imagine a squad of randoms in gold rank going against 3 stack pred squad.
the result is already known, matchmaking is messed up and it will always be and I don't think there s any way to fix it.
the best thing to do is just try to enjoy the game as much as you can

@Axs5626Sxa5001 Exclusively play ranked? Yer jokin' aren't ya? I have found that to be the worst experience. I won't touch it.

  @RockDokRock Ranked might play slower than pubs, but at least you (or a lower skilled player) will avoid the bulk of top level players.
  
  The goal is to reduce the amount of Diamond/Masters/Preds and play as many people close to your skill as possible, right? Ranked does this better than pubs.
