Matchmaking- & Team-fill issues
Hi Apex-community, the famous matchmaking problems in public mode have existed since the beginning of Apex Legends. Example: You (level 1000+) are put together in a squad with level 35 players, whi...

@hayhor This garbage right here is why this game is going to die. Player count is already low. Just let people have fun. I'd rather be stomped by preds once every 5 games and have 4 fun games than have an uphill battle every single match until the stupid system takes pitty on me all for the rubber banding cycle to begin anew.
@LetMeVsBots At least as it pertains to pubs, your sentiments are kind of how I feel. If pubs were more randomized, then at least you would be able to mitigate your overall success by practicing and improving above the median skill. So if you wanted to win more consistently, you could practice.
As it stands now, you can achieve significant improvement in ability but not win more consistently because the algorithm is intentionally pitting you against players to ensure your win rate remains in line with all players (save the top 1%).

@Axs5626Sxa5001A couple things,
I'm not even talking about winning. On trios, winning is a 1/20 chance. Winning every 20th game isn't a big deal to me. What I hate most of all is feeling like a fight is unfair for any reason, be it getting matched with better players, being shot through walls, or enemies teleporting around.
Secondly, not everybody has an improvement mentality. I don't give a crap about being amazing or getting better. I just want to shoot gun. I'm slightly above average, always have been, and always will be. I don't care to change it. I play for fun with friends and that's it. If I want to get good I'll go play elden ring or something. I should not be getting rubber banded between skilled and unskilled lobbies so often.- @LetMeVsBots I hear you—
What I am saying is that if YOU are above average, then you should have above average results.
But perhaps that isn’t what you want/or are concerned about.
Hypothetical question:
Imagine their matchmaking worked absolutely perfectly for them; every single match pitted you against your exact doppelgänger. Everyone won at exactly the same rate— would you be for or against this?- @Axs5626Sxa5001 i would be all for "every single match pitted you against your exact doppelgänger" once in blue moon lobby feels evenly matched and i know how loost or won fight happen. im average player with no intentions of git gud by spending time in shooting range and studying advanced tactics because game shouldnt be a chore. now 1in7-10 game is playable rest is with noob teammates against stacked preds
