How does the game pick your random teammates when you queue?

Im a masters player so when I search pubs solo I usually get put in lobbies against other masters because of SBMM. That's not a problem for me all good no issue. What I want to know and what I do have a problem with is why the last 3 games I havent had a teammate past level 25 all with no kills that just instantly die while I'm fighting everyone. That cant be fun for these people and if I wanted to solo queue I would just do that. It doesn't make any sense how this game picks teammates and its been this way since launch. Someone needs to look into this and figure it out. Waiting a minute for a teammate that should be in my lobbies would be 100x more enjoyable than insta queuing the first player solo queuing onto my team.

  • Apex solo cue method - ignores whatever stats the player has, 99% chance it gives teammate 1 that is : level 1 - 110, does not push and wants a carry or pushes 3 teams, blames teammates for own stupidity, leaves or spam pings or both.

    teammate 2: 80: level 200-400, decent but over uses experience from other fps games, loses 1v1 match ups with bad weapon choice "ex. wingman vs. sniper at long range" or ignorance of legend abilities "rushes builds with enemy Caustic inside, or downs enemies, ignores LL picking them up again."

    1% - solo cheater

    20% - an actually similarly skilled player

    Warning - depending on platform, 1% does not occur, 20% may or may not occur after x number of games, but will not happen before x number of games

    This is not how the game works, but simply what it feels like

  • I'm a diamond and I get master/pred lobbies in pubs so that's fun :D

    But same thing applies to my teammates. My teammates are always max the same skill level as I am but I'm still fighting against pre-made pred/master squads every game. That's the reason I play mostly ranked because at least in there the matchmaking is most of the time good.

    So if you want to play more relaxed games you need to play ranked in Diamond level at least. This game's matchmaking is easily the worst in any online game I've ever played. Absolutely useless.
