Why have I, with a .79 k/d, been placed in a lobby, in pubs, where preds 3 stack?
Either matchmaking is completely bonkers, or devs are doing this on purpose --matching extremely good players with extremely bad players...
I would really appreciate to learn why this happens, and why it is supposed to be fun for me?
I cannot compete with them. Not today, not ever.
If the game is supposed to be fun, I am convinced that this issue needs to be addressed.
Good players wouldn't be an issue if the game would work be a bit differently. Because as someone who has probably played every shooter on the market at least once (hyperbolic, before any literal person says that's not true), Apex Legends remains the enigma of shooters where your skill that you obtained in previous games doesn't count a single bit. I mean not even in Titanfall 2 I had issues with hitting, and that's coming from the same franchise.
SBMM is broken beyond repair. Whether it's there or not, it doesn't make a difference. I'm either paired with massively better people, or just straight up newbies. People with an equal skill that could make a fight interesting? Very rare. But I have to admit that those fights against people who have pinpoint accuracy during strafing over 100 meter distance... Yeah... They're hilarious. Because it goes to show the massive skill gap. A lack of commonly found mechanics that usually balance out these things make the game inherently more difficult to play.

No I wasn't in a premade. not sure about my team mates, but from what one of them was saying he was not too happy with it -the other never said a word, so most likely they were not even a duo. My win ratio this season is very low 1.61%. Since I do not know the other 2 players I have no way of knowing anything about their stats.
Neither my team mates were pred for sure, and neither were level 500. One, if memory serves, was around level 300, the other 100+.
But I can be wrong. I am level 430. But level means little.
We landed a seemingly peaceful estate. We had a fight with another team there and managed to win it, then the team I mentioned above rolled up on us with a trident.
My 2 team mates were eliminated, I was the last one alive, but for little as I got rushed by the 3 or them.
The reason I know these players, and that they are in a premade, and who they are is because when you spectate after being killed you see their actual in game name, on the bottom left.
Were they not known players, I would just plainly thought, "uh... matchmaking must be doing it again", and I would have never bothered making a post about it. Sure it is the same thing, but because of who they are... it makes it so much more clear that matchmaking is rigged IMO.

Sorry but I'm not gonna post their names. Did you recognize their names by any chance? Just because they did not display their pred badges does not mean they are not preds.
My point isn't about pre mades at all.
My point is that matchmaking is placing players with a k/d way >1 in lobbies with player with a k/d <1.
This kills the fun for everyone. Good players will find it boring. Bad players will find it frustrating.
Another lose lose matchmaking strategy I guess.
And it happens again, and again,
i think staff not are interested to solve this problem, are focused on create good cosmetics for sell sell sell sell sell, important is credit card transiction.....are many month this game have matchmaking problem.......
