I just hope they do not include suicides/landing off the map as part of match making criteria to get into easy lobbies.

I've frequently been playing with COD players on my team doing 50x C4 suicides just to get into easy lobbies. Not really the way the game is meant to be played.

I would hate to see players mass landing off the map to reverse boost in Apex as its too quick and easy to reload into another lobby.
