MM is Constantly Changing
I should've posted this earlier but this is about matchmaking in Apex and how it is constantly changing, using different variables to determine what type of lobbies you get into. I feel like Respawn...
Forum Discussion
Whenever one of these threads pops out, I’ll always share this thread that I’ve made a while back. It’s a collection of dev quotes on how MM works, what factors they consider, and when do they change it.

@Cheese9Man Tyler Owens said that there is more than one MM system they use. To me, it seems like they are testing various different MM's in order to see which is best.
- @swift07 I can tell them which one is the best. Sadly, I've never caught them test that exact system. It's the system where, when they want me to fight Diamond+ teams, they give me Diamond+ teammates to fight them with!
- @CCbathwater yeah, that would be great if the fight was somewhat even. Instead of the teammates that are under level 50, then dying to a stacked team with diamond to pred badges and/or 4k and 20 bomb badges.
Following up on yesterdays post, I played a session with "the boys" today, my two also mediocre-playing friends. I played on my smurf account, which has not been puffing up stats playing gun run, and it was the opposite of yesterday even though yesterday I was solo q and today we were three stacked. We got what I must deem bot lobbies, i got over ten kills in about 45 minutes and we ended on what was for me a six-kill win.
Not sure what it all means, but food for thought. My pocketbook would like to think it's because my new Scuf Reflex arrived today, lololol. Seriously, though, I've had three custom controllers now and this one is the best one yet.
- @CCbathwater Season 13 was exactly this for me.
