I'm now playing Plat 1 rank. I always have low-level teammates. Why is that ?Why do I always have to carry the team ? If I had some good teammates, I would go above the plat rank. Below are 3 sample screenshots. these are just a few. Team finding system, you can rank up only if he wants it.

Going to go ahead and lock this thread as comments calling others stupid and criticising other users is not something we allow on AHQ.If you cannot post without attacking others we would ask that you refrain from posting.Darko

I always have low-level teammates. Why is that ?

@l_mRGogo Arenas MM isn't based on rank.

@hayhor Why does this thing you say only apply to my teammates? my enemies usually have diamond or master badges.
Aren't you tired of constantly defending EA?

@l_mRGogo I'm not defending anyone. You asked a question and I gave you the answer. Arenas is based on recent mmr and not ranked. They've said this.

Your enemies are probably friends or premades.

and this happens to me all the time. Your answer is illogical. the system is bad.

@l_mRGogo My answer is what they said. And yes the system is bad. It should match you with people at your rank. It doesn't, clearly.

@l_mRGogo I don't play ranked matches, but I normally get teamed in PUGs with people who have names like Player1234 or Ash9876, and their level will be less than 25 most of the time. I am level 223... I think. Not that it matters to me what their names are or their level. What shocked me the first few times is how well they played and were able to carry me to champion. Do I suspect they are cheating? I honestly can't say.

@l_mRGogo It's not only ranked, pubs arenas also. I regularly get teammates below 100. It's lonely here on the prestige level.

Ranking system based on luck factor. You rank up only if the game asks you to win

Nice job Respawn Entertainment

@l_mRGogo It's because if you are not a pro or a streamer, you are designed to be food for them.

This is not a game for fun or casuals. You're best to move on if you're not willing to make it a JOB.

Its called EOMM.. Engagement Optimized Matchmaking.
quick explenation. it makes sure you lose a sertain amount of games. giving you bad team mates and a way to hard lobby for your skills.
after lets say the parameter is set to 15 games.. they put you in a lobby with good teammates and a lobby that is way to easy for you after your 15 losses.
EA/Respawn claims not to use EOMM, but if you look at the facts it is actualy exlactly so.
start apex enter a game (duos Solo) makes it easyer, look at the champ team.. are they high lvl? exit game...
after 10 or 15 times doing so you will sudonly see a champ team where no one of that team is high lvl all below 50ish.
join that game and get your 20 bomb.
i know this is not a fair play but its game mechanics.
Thus SBMM=EOMM.
