Perfect Teammate Match & Finding System

@E9ine_ACjust FYI - played season 11 daily for 4+h each day (maybe skipped one or two) only via people from Discord (EU and NA region) + posted on reddit that I am looking for teammates, plus signed up here in forums in threads where people were looking for a squad.

Current results:
- added like 10 people per day in my discord banlist <- not kidding man, maybe even more
- had a great chat with 5 people who came via reddit or forums or discord directly to team up, agreed on multiple game related stuff like let's not be afraid to lose some RP and see it as an investment in the team, analyze made mistakes, talk it over, remain humans even during arguments...2 weeks later all 5 are in my banlist as they either ragequitted or came to be total a$$oles

Playing with friends is easy if you have friends who play Apex but in reality, most of the people don't - 2 days ago even played with a freaking military soldier who said that they have a room dedicated for gaming and they play there together for limited hours and even him - damn military regime product - did not play with his comrades :D just to show how theory differs from reality.

end of rant 🙂

Here's the latest dev response when it comes to matchmaking in arenas more specifically in ranked arenas. It started out when this random guy was lashing at this dev on twitter after posting snow picture (people are crazy lol). I'll just just edit out the guy's name. The dev who responded was Samy Duc a lead software engineer at Respawn. Remember that we can always voice our grievances but don't do it like a crazy child.

Nothing new but it confirms why you are matched against better players in high tier lobbies and you're matched with less skilled players.

as long as you can queue up as a duo the duo will allways drag you down they refuses to work as a team and they run away in middel of fight without tell you anything if they removed duo queue from ranked the game would be alot better.

At the end of the day it's all about networking - if you aren't willing to put in some work finding the right match, you're gonna have a bad time

@EREGDS 

yes their are a lot of problems as you noted in your last post. But we can not mix some of the issues up with each other especially when we are talking about Diamond level players. 

Playing ranked:

1. If you are playing ranked Smurf accounts should be no problem as they probably have not ranked up to diamond to be a problem yet.

2. Boosted accounts via hacks, until they can get rid of all hackers (will not happen) we will have to learn to deal with it and report when seen. 

3. Boosted via other people playing accounts well that is just sad. I do not see a fix for that so again we just have to deal with it. 

4. Diamonds being fed to Masters and Preds. I really do not think this is happening. There are only 750 Preds out there globally. They have to play with someone. As I said before Diamond and up make up about 2.5% of the player base (I have seen mentioned in this thread 5%) that is not a lot of players as has been discussed. 

5. Finding other players of like caliber to play with will be hard, but if you look at the top tier players Diamond and up most of them have set people they play with and I really do not see a disadvantage at high rank with 3 stacking as this would you on par with other 3 stacks instead of being disadvantaged with playing with Randoms. 

Playing Pubs: 

1. Smurfs become a problem for high ranked players and low ranked players alike. 

2. Hackers I said it above. Same thing. 

3. Boosted via other people playing accounts remains sad and probably unfixable. 

4. Solo Diamonds and above become the sharks here as they will be making up roughly 10-15% of the Lobby.

5. Paying solo in pubs will probably get you saddled with lower level players for team/ lobby balance. So finding other players to play with at your rank/skill will eliminate the randomness of your teammates, and increase the level of your enemies to a certain degree. Again we still are looking at a low percentage of players at that rank or higher and that will impact the Lobby. Three stacking in Pubs at that level of skill with "friends" sets you up to shred the lobby. Those 20 bombs and 4K damage badges do not happen in Diamond level lobbies much no do they. 

In general playing with "friends" three stacked is a better experience. Players at the highest levels get there by doing this and stay there by doing this. 

If you do not have friends that can play at this level with you it can be frustrating. Keep your head up and keep an eye out for the random that seems like a good player and invite to squad up with you. If it dose not work out then so be it if it does add to that friend list and so how long it lasts. I have a couple of players like that since season 4 on my list to play with when they are there for when my 2 best friend cant make it or I am tired of solo queuing.

There is no perfect Teammate Match & Finding System except for the one you create for yourself. Finding those other players will take some time but is worth it when you find them. 

By the way thank you for starting this thread it has been very refreshing.
