Did they make a change to the matchmaking?

So, i took a long break from apex, mostly out of frustration as i was always finding myself only getting around 50 damage a game and no kills, then i logged on recently and found almost all the lobbies i played in to be players in my skill bracket or close to it. im consistently getting 1-3 kills and close to 1000 damage every game. did something change?

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.
