Match making... again.

This game is long dead. Matchmaking does not exist. It brings beginners with preds into one lobby. If they don't fix it, only professionals and cheaters will remain in this game.

Bot BR to save the game. 
I am so happy about it. Being able to practice guns I never use or legends I never play. 
Cherry on the cake wouldve been the possibility to play with game settings for the bot royale mode. 
Like remove Pathy Q timer. 

Regarding the topic I tried the ranked rumble for the first time. 10 matches where I got one kill and few assists on my gold lobby. Best position was 6th. 
I am not a stats expert so please tell me if I am really facing my actual level players because those number dont really support it as I wouldve been relegated to silver given the pattern. 

Either my matches were boosted/rigged by EA because EOMM and I am really Silver player (I have no issues with it) to keep me playing during the ranked season OR
there are even less real players actually playing Apex with so many smurfs exploiting the ranked system.

Ranked system shouldnt be about the grind but actual playskill. Lets say smurf drops 10 kill win in bronze lobby. They should be automatically put into Plat lobby for example. 
Can you work somekind of IQ behind the ranked skill rating AI? 

Matchmaking is broke, I´m not a good player but I earned plenty of kills after more than 3000 hours.
When doing gold ranked games,  90% of the randoms are way below gold and there is no chance to survive
with these noobs, it´s just a waste of time. I would like to know if my teammates are really gold or not, than at 
least I can decide to drop. Anyone same experiences ?

@reconzeroSolo queue is hell, but it is better than a premade duo in Trios. MM somehow always makes your 3rd completely useless and pits you against even crazier enemy teams. The "premades are better than solos" assumption just doesn't work , especially in that case. A full premade is the best option if you have friends to play with, but even that isn't a guarantee.

The lack of anything in the patch notes related to anti-cheat, anti-smurf, or matchmaking improvements is telling. All the content and gameplay changes will just fade away if they don't do anything about those issues. It will be just a prettier & different looking way to die in the same humiliating fashion, over and over again.

All these changes are, in my opinion not meant to make the game better - at all! 

However, made to make it feel different as to say, we the devs are still working on Apex and bringing the players new changes and things to keep it fresh and from feeling the same and becoming monotonous. Also gives a false sense that the game's life is thriving still. 

These changes will not make this game better, only different. 

Better game = better servers, better audio engine, and less or no hackers and smurfs. 

Like Recon said, no way in hell are these ever going to be rectified or implemented into a game that is over 4 years old with a declining player base. 

Apex prime state is well long and gone. 

Nope , special matchmaking should never exist in FPS since the anti cheat never work.

but don't worry with s22 you'll be able to play against bots instead of players.
