What you have discovered is what I discovered the first time I came back to the game after uninstalling for a season. If you're gone for a long time (forum "research" seems to indicate at least 45 days) it basically resets your matchmaking stats to the same ones the sub-level 50 players get (you know, that same time they are giving you Apex packs like crazy to try and get you addicted so you buy them when they are once per 5 levels or whatever it ends up at).
Cause I too was gone for a while, and came back and for about 2 weeks it was fun again. Then it remembered I was about level 300 and put me back in the 'food for streamers" crowd, which was not fun. Which is why I uninstalled again and will not be back to the Apex franchise until there is single player content. Not making the same mistake a 3rd time. I'm done with being dinner for streamers. I already have a job and my games to relax is not becoming a 2nd one.
Back to single player games and having a blast again. Just finished the "did everything" run as a Nomad on Cyberpunk 2077, and now working on finishing Doom Eternal.

I'm been playing Escape from Tarkov with single player mod. Granted my PC not great enough to run it at high settings, but having AI for relaxed gameplay without sweats, camping, cheats. The developers are upset over this mod as well, yet they can't enough do anything about cheaters so it is only fair. No more losing days worth of loot in 3 secs from someone hiding above a pipe as a glitch.
Feels like value of single player gone these days. Replayed witcher 3 next gen and this RPG has ruined every other RPG for me. It sets the standard for the decade.
Never put a penny into Apex Legends. Rather give money to indie developers or charity who have more passion and better cause.I believe that the matchmaking in this game is quite requently being adjusted.
Thats extremely scummy
MM is broken and it has always been like this.
i am a platinum/diamond player and i get either completely destroyed by everything that moves or my game is so easy i end up with 19 kills and 5k damage.. sounds fun but there is no challenge in that and i can only immagine how it is for a rookie to come across me.
mostly i just get the way over my head games where i am stuck with teammates that dont know wich end of the gun to point forward. after losing like a idiot for about 2 hours in a row i get rewarded by EA they put me in a lobby where i can shoot without looking and kill a full squad with just one bullet.
we actualy live in a state of EOMM more than SBMM despite of what EA claims.
