Perfect Teammate Match & Finding System
I have 1500+ hours of game time. I usually go up to the Diamond level. But now I stopped playing. Because now whenever I want to play, my teammates given to me by the system are low level. While my t...

Geez, Respwan should just make stacked predator squads wait for a stacked predator / high master stacked lobbies only even if that takes days! Problem solved 🙂 might make some of those preds to play with randoms and make situation even more fair :P
I agree with this but like what I’ve said to Gogo in the other thread, Respawn’s priority is always quick queue times. Most of the time we benefit from it but at the cost of the “occasional” questionable MM.
@Cheese9ManI would correct you here - ones who suffered were Top Preds/Master thus the change a few seasons ago allowing them to get into Diamond lobbies.
Other rank players as far as I am informed were just fine with waiting times and based on number of topics about SBMM would opt for longer waiting times if that would mean that lobbies say for Platinum player would not contain Diamonds and especially Masters/Preds (cases where Platinum player gets pushed into Diamond lobbies at the same time when Masters/Preds don't have people and are allowed into lower level lobbies).
I have not faced issues with matchmaking, as I wrote earlier I still wait for ~15 min to get a set squad at Diamond level given there are not too many players in Discord servers... so yeah I see this argument valid only from Pred/Master perspective which in turn should have the toughest time in the game as they are top of the top 🙂
Imagine say Usain Bolt coming to a competition and saying "hey I have the world record, no one is even close so give my lane a headwind, because I am the fastest yet I don't want to give my 100% today". That's exactly what the current Apex system provided to Predators on daily basis. It almost makes sense to get to their level via illegal ways to reap the benefits because who knows maybe me as a Predator especially with a trail would scare better players away and deal with the remaining ones with as much effort as now in Diamond lobbies...

I thought it was the other way around. Back then once you reach diamond it's automatically diamond/master/pred lobbies. The reason they increased the pred players according to the patch notes was to have a stricter MM in high-tier lobbies. On the other hand i have no first hand experience in these lobbies since I immediately stop when I reach diamond IV when I used to grind for rank.
