Getting good friends from random is a personal skill (called Emotional intelligence).
You need bounding with them, respect each other, share stuff, helping each other, got their back, listen to their ping and acknoledge it, see if they need health/shield and you give it to them without asking, listen to their request (bullet/hop up) and when you found it, you ping to them, drop health drone when they needed, when they're down, you acknowlege them that you're going to revive or get their banner (ping their icon), say thanks when they ping you items you're looking for, etc.
It's not easy, a lot of work, a lot of challenges, some people are toxic, some selfish, some just don't listen, some noobs, but once you get the bounding with player that connects with you, you can level up together much faster.

@asukojoranked should be a game mode where your game skills are tested not your intertube socializing skills. By queuing randoms with premade squads you give players drastically uneven difficulty. Not everyone has the time to treat gaming as a social hub on top of playing the game and getting good at it. Honestly I think people who oppose seperate queues are playing in premades and are terrified of the idea they would be opposing even challenge.

@Anonymous That's exactly why, these forums are filled with people who are thoroughly against things that would make the game more fair and balanced, it's almost like they enjoy having an unfair advantage over other players.
@asukojo Then que them against other duos it's not rocket science.
Or they could just make 2 different ques premades/randoms

Because the forum is filled with unnecessary complaints
Really want to do matchmaking like OP suggest? It's not rocket science to do the math:
Randoms vs Randoms
2 premade + 1 random vs 2 premade+1 random squad
Premades vs Premades
And then, we consider matchmaking by ranking:
Bronze vs Bronze
Silver vs Silver
.
.
.
Predators vs Predators
And then, there are 20+ servers around the world. What happens to the less populated one?
Will you wait 5-10 mins of waiting time for "matchmaking?
This is an online game. You gotta play with friends for the best game experience. Don't expect to have the same experience if you are lone wolf.
Dont compare with Overwatch. It's not the same. How many players do Overwatch need to start a game?
Why is it not fair and balanced? It's 3 vs 3. Premades dont come with 4 players.

Competitive gaming does not mean the game has to match every single criteria.
You watch football? Champion league maybe?
There are big teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid. They have money to fill up substitution bench with world class players, most talented coaches.
There are small, unknown teams from Russia. Some of them register with semi-amateur players who play football part-time.
Is it fair when Barcelona compete against those teams? Yes, it's fair. In the end, it's the match of 11 vs 11
You watch esport? For example PGI
Team like Liquid only recruits the best player in the world. They has their own coach, own match analysts
Some team like RefundGaming are normal people from Vietnam. They are just normal players like any of us.
Is it fair? Yes, it's fair. They can only bring 4 players into the match.
So, whether premade, solo,it's the squad between 3 of you vs the rest.
If you want to play Apex competitively, you gotta find the premade squad yourself. No one gonna do it for you.
