Yikes. I haven’t had the chance to queue with friends yet. Is it like that start to S13? That was literally the most aggressive matchmaking I have ever seen in Apex.

While I don’t think the algorithm has a hard rule on premades, premades are definitely 100% prioritized higher on the PBMM ladder.

One thing I haven’t tested is intentionally losing matches in a premade. I ASSUME the there are already triple stack masters/Preds doing this, as it explains those outliers I see when testing. 3 preds in a mixed lobby might sound egregious but it’s not NEARLY egregious as 3 preds in a lobby comprised of very low level players— that’s just bullying.

Lobbies are exactly the same for me.  I queued with my Masters level buddy for 90 minutes and we got wrecked as usual.  I then solo queued around four games and tripled my KDR.  Then this afternoon I queued with said buddy and our other friend and returned to beautiful colored trails from the drop ship and a lousy KDR after inevitable death to badge-laden three stacks

Always has been.
