Is Ping actually factored into the matchmaking system?

So yeah as above in the title. Getting a little fed up of being shot through cover lol. I've developed a weird tick where I count to 5 everytime i step into cover during a gunfight...and i had one ...

@MandatoryIDtag ppl hav different opinion about fairness.
I will assume u mean 3 sec as literary meaning, because 3 s = 3000 ms.
y I feel it's fear because you was there and other player aim at ur hitbox in his client end.
and u already hav advantage peeking so u can shot at him first why r u complaining to much?
wrost thing is the shot confusing u.

@xMaxrayx I'm complaining because it's bs.

Like i said in the OP I'd rather be amongst players of a similar ping then there is no advantage here or there that way.

It's pretty simple concept to grasp lol. I want my matches as close to real-time as possible.

This game has the worst experience for this compared to many others.

Your "peak" advantage is literally irrelevant in a squad fight, its based purely on a 1v1 scenario which is extremely rare in apex.

If this was solo's the would be another story entirely, however it isn't so this issue is pretty impactful on gameplay.

  @xMaxrayx I've been playing since s1 dude, I know how the game works, no need to preach basics to me...especially when I'm being hit by bullets I've already taken actions to evade in the first place lmao.

    @MandatoryIDtag if u already fps hardcore u don't need to be mad about "got shot behind cover"
    u can't get rid of ping even with fiber
    even with ms 10 ping vs ms 10 ping there micro second so one of them hav low ping compare to the other one.
