Q&A Matchmaking - Anti-Cheat
Hello everyone! In the past few days I have been reading the Respawn Q&A that answers various questions about Anti-Cheat and Matchmaking and I am sincerely amazed by some of the team's answers regar...

By wording it " Squad matchmaking looks at closest skill to fill out your squad. " Respawn is again using typical Politician speak which everybody will understand as "near same skill" and not as "miles apart". And the excuse "playstyle" might be true for some matches (i know when playstyle was the issue) , but the majority of matches is just getting teammates not the same "shoesize" ... and that def feels like being set up to fail on purpose !
And regarding to ". And that often causes ME to be the player who is holding back, and who gives the impression of being weak. I'm not weak. I'm just unwilling."
You wouldnt do only 35 dmg with Fuse in 15 minutes of platinum ranked play, bcs you wouldnt be the "unwilling one" in my team, since i normally dont opt for stupid unwinnable fights at chokepoints, wont get greedy for loot/kills when the 3 ring is seconds away, ect.
I definitely have to own to not playing enough ranked to say much about your Fuse. I get players like that in my pubs lobbies, but I have to say that if I was a rank chaser and if I made it to platinum and that guy somehow made it into the same lobby as me, let alone the same team... well, I guess what I would say is that enough things like that happened decades ago in games where I did play ranked... that I never played it again. In any game. Not anymore, Apex or elsewhere.
"i normally dont opt for stupid unwinnable fights at chokepoints, wont get greedy for loot/kills when the 3 ring is seconds away, ect."
I loved that. I wish Respawn's "Guide to Apex" would include a list of things like that, because while it all seems obvious to you and I, it clearly doesn't to very many other people. Which kinda brings me back to "play style." I should have used the expression "play style and match goals," which I do more commonly. I add "match goals" here because the Fuse story reminds me of how often I get players who seem to be on another planet until I remember to check challenges after the match, and sure enough... somebody was checking their "play two matches as _____" box. They didn't care if won or lost or died on drop. They were just punching their timecard. I've always hated challenges in games exactly because they're drivers of idiotic behavior. Anyway, just one example....
