  • @izcormvasha Matchmaking in Apex has been completely broken for a long time. It got especially bad in Season 20 but was pretty horrible before that, too. They will not ever fix it.

    Interestingly, I came back to Apex after two seasons and after a week I could 'boast' a KDR of 0.5. Then I had a real purple patch, constant 4, 5 or 6 kill games until I was back to 1.0. But as soon as I hit 1.0 I got stuck, mainly because my standard of random TMs (I solo Q) went down the toilet.

    @FuseDLuffyI just played a game in the new mode (revive or whatever). Felt it was a bit unbalanced. Team mates seemed to be doing well. Me no so much. They each had 12 + kils and 2500+ damage, I think I had a few kills and 700 damage. How on earth does this lobby exist? I should never be playing with/against these guys. Just shouldn't happen.

    I love this game to bits as I think it's brilliant but please... just don't give me a game if it's that unbalanced.  It totally sucks to just be a KD pill/fodder.  I'd rather not play than have that over and over.  Please.  I think most of us would be fine with doing something else if it's that 1 sided.

    @izcormvasha The matchmaking is all rng and has nothing to do with skill or stats from my experience. In ranked you play with the 4 badges closest to your ranked.

    @espadakillar69MM is really my only complaint about the game. I'm pretty happy with everything else and, overall, this season has been one of the better ones (LTM mode in my post above aside).

    I think time of day makes a difference. Earlier in the day (EU servers) it's generally a more enjoyable experience. Also time of the "season". When a season starts it seems pretty sweaty for a few days and when a season gets near to the end (people have hit their BP levels so take a break so it's mostly sweats) the game can become unplayable as the lobbies are just full of players over your pay grade. Some of this may mean more tweaking with the MM but some of it I think is just how it is. If the pool of players is 90% sweats then you're gonna get placed with alot of them. I don't think there is much they can do about that.

    I would love to see some sort of breakdown like it gives you in Ranked for pubs (obviously you don't have "rank" but it does categorise players into "buckets" so give us a breakdown like that. I would feel much better just knowing what I'm walking into and making an informed decision rather than playing for a bit and realising there really wasn't much point.

  • @AymCTL  In ranked its not even the 4 ranks closest to you because I've seen preds and masters with rank bronze but last season pred or master so even rank is not safe even without talking about the smurfs

    I'm finding pubs impossible right now. I think it's because all the 'new season newbs' have now dropped out, leaving the diminishing core player base. I'm struggling to maintain a 1 KDR, and indeed over the past three days I've dropped to 0.87.

    As for matchmaking ... I won a game with a Wraith yday (not a big feat, everyone else hot dropped and we practically had one fight to win and that was 2 v 1) and at the end she pulled out an 'ALGS QF' holospray. Yeah, like I, with my 0.87 KDR should be in the same lobby as ALGS quarter-finalists.
