Game Ending - Which do you prefer?
I watch a fair amount of Apex on twitch. Quite a few different people, many that play ranked at a high level. If you do not know, ranked this season has taken on a pretty large change. Because KP is ...

I'm not sure there's a wrong answer here. I've seen both methodologies produce the desired results, and I've seen both founder on stupidity and/or bad luck. The only thing I can say with certainty is that the vast majority of my matches are a squad of players who are not on the same page when it comes to the caution/aggression continuum. And that is a recipe for almost certain failure. So one more time I'll suggest to Respawn: please stop matching on whatever it is you think makes a player skillful, and start matching on playstyle.

@reconzero When if an aggressive player wants to chill or a chill players wants to practice being aggressive? How would those people get lobbies they want?

It wouldn't be a perfect system, but it couldn't be any worse than what we have now.
That said, back in the day Halo Reach had what they called a psych profile. The player answered some basic questions about their attitude and play style and the game would supposedly use that information in matchmaking. It didn't, of course. Too many other criteria to take into account. But it was self-reported and could be changed by the player at any time. If this game used something like that as the primary matching data, with or without a skill filter, I have to think it would be more satisfying... well, for me. I can't speak for anyone else. But it is definitely what I would prefer.- @reconzero I'm all for the self profile idea.
