PC Players in Console Pubs

OK, I did not think this was possible.

In a couple of matches a few days ago the champion squad was all PC players.  In my lobby (I'm PlayStation).  How is this possible?  I didn't think this could happen.

Needless to say that was a straight quit but who is to say if other squads in the lobby aren't all PC players?  How can this happen?

  • They had 0.6 AA on keyboard and mouse then? If so - all such accounts should be permanently banned for intentionally exploiting game bugs. The question is whether it won't be the same here again - "but they buy in our store..." I hope not :)

    I just want mods or apex devs to post how this works.  I came across it again tonight (champion squad all PC players).  That's grossly unfair as you can do many things console players just can't.  And it shows.  

    Is this due to falling player numbers and this is how it makes up a lobby now or is it something else?  Just give us an answer.  Silence does you no favours.

  • I used to think mixed lobbies was the single biggest problem in this game. Then a lot of other things caught up and there are now several game-breakers duking it out for "worst problem in the game." But it's still right up there.

    I too was under the impression that the only PC player allowed in a console lobby was a guy stacked with console friends. I'm sure that probably changed a long time ago, some kind of "quality of life" matchmaking change that got mentioned in a footnote to a fifteen page list of new season patches. Honestly, with the length and complexity of patch notes any more, I feel like I need to hire a personal assistant to read through them for me for the highlights. At this point there are several things happening regularly in every match where I have NO IDEA what they are, what they mean, or how they activate. I see enemies doing things I know for a fact are impossible... except I also know they keep adding new abilities and perks and buffs at a break neck pace. I can't keep up with it any more and I've quit trying. If something happens in the field that feels to me like B.S. then I just quit and re-queue. If it keeps happening then I will eventually figure out how to counter/ignore/retrench, but this is NOT the way the game should work. Sorry for the tangent rant.
