Matchmaking & hidden MMR

Hey,

I would like to know, what's the actual mechanism behind the hidden MMR

and how we get teamed up in-game.
I'm asking that coz till now, I'm being matched with either unskilled players or very skillful.
I think that there are more players like me, who have the same issue and they want to know more.

Thanks in advance.

/Cheers

  • @warslag can't help it...a game with great potential is utter garbage now...I've spent money on something with potential that never has nor ever will meet said potential...

    Wouldn't you be upset?

    @Psycho4RealA friend told me that full squads were matched against each other. I think he's right but it's possible that it's not correct.

    I guess so. Sometimes I'm not happy about some things. I say my bit but try to be constructive. You live and learn as they say.

  • @Psycho4Real if your asking about correctness with regards to match making...there is no matchmaking...random

    If your asking in regards to me ranting...no...I rant on nearly every post...but my ranting is never incorrect...it is 9/10 negative but they are facts. I have nothing positive to post about with regards to Apex legends except the gun play and movement ideology is fantastic in theory...it's clear to see what they were going for but the game is flawed to let those positive aspects shine

  • I'm 95% random. Have a few select friends on different servers. Maxed out, so nothing to be acquired other than tokens😞. I only have just over 1000 kills with my Lifeline, and have only been randomly matched with someone with over 300 kills or same experience level about 5 times. It really doesn't matter to me. Just need to communicate more with the lower level player or give them some suggestions during game play. I read a previous post about a lower level player wanting to play more with ppl at his level. It's no fun getting destroyed by other squads when you're either a squad of "greens" or a "grinder" matched with greens. Need to remember that a lot of players haven't been gaming as long as others.  Hoping season 2 will offer ranked matches for everyone.

  • For me, i'm at level 140ish and i feel like the matchmaking force me to team up with low level players like level 50 & below, maybe the devs wants high level players to carry low level players or something but sometimes it's just not the case

    @Wingmannedbro Most of you are clueless to understand my statement, indeed there are no matchmaking in this game, but in terms of penalty and winning, there is, and its consider broken. If you happy with random matchmaking, good for you and i want to see how long you can endure when you match up with clans while you are in random squad.


    Hold your horses Nanook, all I did was state 1 fact to you. That there is no matchmaking of any kind in Apex.

    Without any opinions attached to that. You seem rather eager to put words in my mouth here.

    Listen, matchmaking systems do not work, because in any team game, random average players will get carried into higher rankings by very good players.

    I've played MOBA's at the highest ranking for a year and a half, and the lesson learned from that is that the skill of the average player in the HIGHEST DIVISION is exactly the same as the skill from the average player in the mid tier division.

    The upside of having a completely random squads is that you will end up teaming up with 2 friends who invite you to play with them because you were a good team mate who shares loot etc.

    Many times I end up playing with good players because I pinged a level 3 body shield for my bangalore team mate (playing Wraith myself) 

    If you have not made any friends who want to play with you after an extended period of time entering games solo, it might be time for you to evaluate yourself as a player. 

    I think you probably are the "bad team mate" you complain about more often than you think.

    It's never the case, if you check the attainment rate of the lvl 100 account achievement (im on PS4) it shows that less than 10% of accounts have this achievement.
