It is absolutely brutal in pubs right now. Teammates worse than me and enemies better than me . . . every single match.How bad does it have to get for MM to put you in lower lobbies? I'm in hell at the moment, TBH.

@reconzeroless experienced is meant as an euphemism i hope ...How can it be that i have to carry dead weight 99.9% of the time ?Just right now, i do 1K Dmg and my mates dont even reach 200 combined when i even gave them extra shields with Conduit ... they still dropping like flies ...And dont get me started with the ultra rigged point system in Ranked ... i do all the work but my mates get more points than me , how is that even possible ?!? Its like the old Arenas Point system where Noobs get boosted and selected players get punished for what ever reason.This is not how to establish trust in the Rank System.And to be clear , i dont have a problem with high tier lobbies , but i do have a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge problem if you give me 2 concrete boots as mates to fight in those challenging lobbies.

@HappyHourSumwurI can attest to also always getting squadmates who are "less experienced" than I am. But that doesn't seem any different to me than the game ever was, any season you care to name. Enemies, on the other hand, seem consistent and at or around my skill level. The difference being that their entire squad is equally skilled and they stick together, which my squad never does. Though that's entirely on me. I'm the rogue. So my experience is not terrible, as good as last season, and an improvement over what it was prior to last season.

Yeah it’s awful , I’m consistently play-diamond every season then I stop as masters solo Q sucks.everyteam I get is low levels vs pre made 3 stacks.

@HappyHourSumwur The experience for this season is indeed awful. Last season at least i got a good start until it became sweaty as hell but this on it started sweaty as hell with some random bot teamates in the middle.Im gonna go as far to say that 2-stacks and 3-stack are destroying the match-making and solo-qs are the one paying for it.

@DeepBeats 2 stacks can be pretty awful as well because you typically get a much worse teammate, effectively making you 2v3 in almost every fight. My brother and I party up and we are about 1.0 KDR players; the lobbies we get put into are ridiculous and we almost always get a complete bot as a 3rd. It is a truly horrible experience.

Please do something about matchmaking for solo players

@HappyHourSumwur I can vouch for this. The matchmaking is giving me mismatches every match too. It even put me side by side with people that have kills in the 5 figure range and said I was highest ranked last match and that we were "champions." This is funny because the last match I was shot during a hot drop and was the first eliminated aka first blood. Something is very wrong with it. I miss playing with people that were closer to my level last season. Let's hope the matchmaking is fixed soon.

@HappyHourSumwur Premades of any sort mess up the match making as a whole. It seems that if the system sees that your in a party you are already above the average and it does not matter if you either get a bot soloq as 3rd or if ur 2nd member in the duo is a bot to carry, you'll still be consider above your skill.

Same goes for 3-stacks but you usually get all above average skill players in those so they just destroy the fun for others and not themselves.

EA and Respawn...Do you guys appoint people who don't play Apex Legends properly as developers and planners?
Korean progamer said this half jokingly and half sincerely. "Season 19 is a season in which users who play solo rank mode are euthanized."

At this point it's almost like they're trying to provide us the worst possible ranked experience.

All I can really say to sum up everything I'm felling about this game of late is simply this....
To all the original Devs that made the game, launched it and maintained it for a bunch of seasons before moving on..... YOU ARE SEVERILY MISSED!! And I apologize for what your once amazing creation has manifested into.
RIP

He wasn’t wrong , we are being euthanised!
Respawn , how did you mess up matchmaking so badly?
I’ve said it for a few seasons now but pre-made and 3 stacks need to go into the same lobbies in pubs.
