Forgot how bad the last few days before a new season are . . .
All the cheaters, smurfs, and 3 stacks are out in pubs warming up for S20. The solo queue life is agony around this time of the season. Just sayin'

Amen, brother. The last few days have been ugly. And the sad thing is that this is a cake walk compared to how the first two weeks of s20 are going to go. Look up the word s**tshow in the dictionary and it will say, "The first two weeks of matchmaking in season 20 of Apex Legends."

- @reconzero So do you think it might be a good idea to avoid ranked for the first couple weeks? Maybe it will be possible to get a higher rank if I wait to do my provisional matches until then.

From my experience, the first week or two of ranked in a new season tends to have a lot more variance as you get both current players rushing to start the new ranked climb and people coming back to check out the new changes that may not have played for a bit.
Provisional matches are gone this season as well, per our patch notes. 🙂
With everyone getting reset to 1 RP, the first few days of ranked are going to be as close to purely random matchmaking as we'll ever get.
@AymCTL
I usually wait a day or two before starting to play ranked. By doing this the 3 stack grinders are already out of my lobbies. If you wait too long the smurf accounts will enter because viewers will certainly want to see this pro streamer pulling his 15th rookie to masters on every legend content video.Speaking of this pro smurfing, seriously why doesnt EA / Respawn see this as an issue in terms of game content. Viewership is down because its the same dull content day in day out.
Thank good 30-30 gets nerfed and atleast we see some new weapons being played 🤞
@reconzero Id say this is a good thing when talking about Pubs. Pubs should have random matchmaking.
