Matchmaking Update

Does anyone know if the community will receive a matchmaking update anytime soon? Specifically, the "stay with team" feature (after matches) and any other updates that will improve the solo queue experience.

The solo queue experience needs to be focused on direly. It's been too long and no action. I hope we hear something before the next season starts.

    Yeah.

    Specifically, I'm referring to the link below regarding matchmaking that was posted "7 months ago". 

    Let's talk about Apex Legends Matchmaking

    Question 3 in the AMA link above states: "Any plans for improving the feature that allows us to invite players we previously matchmade with?"

    Question 3 reply from the dev states: "Yes! We are looking into how we can support keeping the party together via requeue. Can't confirm when that'd go in but we are all for keeping great squads together!"

    The feature that I'm referring to is "already" being developed. Hopefully the devs can let the community know soon about the status of these updates. It's been several months. 

  • How often would you use such option and why people can't just to to lobby and add people who pop as latest teammates? #dontbelazy

    I personally hardly can remember a teammate I would like to play again and again. Since season 7 I have formed (via in-game or mainly Discord LFGs) like 3 "permanent" 3stacks. Most people somehow like to hop teammates or have some crazy requirements almost like "I am plat 4 but play with current Masters-Preds only".
    And even when I did form a team most people actually get bored of winning / playing game as a system, process = much less "creativity" aka no more brainless pushing or actions without agreeing on them.

    Nothing besides people mentality will fix soloqing!!!!

    While there will be casuals that do not try, don't want to train, don't want to speak with other players (except trashtalking ofc), want to win every game, get every kill, most damage, all badges etc. and with such mentality come into ranked...it is doomed.
    Add to that trolls and just genuinely f-up people: your drug addicts, your <70 IQ players, trolls, mentally unstable etc... that's soloqing for you pretty much.

    I almost want Respawn to invent logical / mathematical / emotional test with high pass mark as a way to enter Ranked:

    • Need to know map places
    • Solve examples of rotations
    • Answer basic tactics questions
    • etc.

    Just yesterday I had another player who somehow was P4 yet did not know map places on OLY and had 19k kills on Wraith... how is that possible? oh wait dropping Fragment for 100k times :D
