MMR is a joke
i know its a repeated topic, but apex has the worst matchmaking of any game ive ever seen, outside of CoD and they dont actively have competitive lobbies outside of pro play. CoD doesnt have MMR lets be real.
Apex wouldnt be an issue but the devs actively have stated there is an MMR used to balance matches.
I have 2 experiences in ranked currently. Im plat 2, never made it to diamond and i understand that im not that good, thats nothing new.
I dont care how long predators have to sit in que, there is no reason they should be put against people below diamond. Masters is the same. You hit the top tier? OK cool, youre good, you dont get to shred lower level lobbies because you cant wait in que for people your skill level.
League of legends had a que problem for top tier people, except it wasnt a problem. You want to be the best and actually remain the best? You only get the compete against the best. Wait in * line.
Apex has adopted a half * version of elo, they put a terrible algorithm in for new players and there is no balancing at higher tiers. We have devs quoted saying "preds tristack because they cant get into games solo queing"
how do devs not see that as an in game issue? Thats not a playerbase issue, thats not a skill based issue, its a coding based issue where they dont feel like implementing the proper mechanics to balance out games.
who the * cares about kd/a? If you get the last shot 12 times in a game, you get 12 kills. You can legit have 12 damage and 12 kills, with .1% accuracy. It's ridiculous to put someone who cant land 50% of their shots against people who can. KD/A has never been an appropriate balance of skill in any shooter game, we have 20+ years of that * being professionally competitive and its not an arguable topic.
It is not hard to add a line of code, where it registers hit accuracy. You can then USE THAT LINE OF CODE TO EITHER REMOVE HACKERS FROM THE GAME OR BALANCE OUT SKILL LEVELS. Movement < shooting, and its already been proven in plenty of cases. Stormen playing smurfs in low elos isnt a defense for movement. The mnk vs. controller argument has all but died in the past 2 years because people understand you play the game differently.
Smurfing is a bannable offense, yet there are hundreds of streams of people going from bronze to pred solo que. Itztimmy did the same thing with valorant, and got live banned because he was actively smurfing for content. Whats worse, is when he spoke to the devs, he ban revoked, because he was making "content". but does that make it ok? Do you really get to forego balance in favor of ONE person doing a live stream for content? He DESTROYED every game he was in, most likely making every game up until platinum unenjoyable for everyone else.People dont get 10+ kills per game, on avg, below platinum ranking, how is it that hard to seperate those players?
