@DaleWWilson95 Theres seemingly no balancing in these premade lobbies though, so if you're a not a team of top tier players you get stomped lol
Kinda thought crossplay would negate this on console but nope lol, ah well nevermind.
I agree, I have had similar experiences. I probably only win about 2-3% of the time when playing with 1 or 2 friends. When playing solo, I win probably about 6-8% of the time. I always have way better numbers playing solo as well (damage, kills etc). All of my 2k+ games are when I play solo.
Y'all are lucky then cause even if i solo que im put in same lobbies with those i play against teamed up.

guys guys, you’re all wrong.
Games are childish. Respawn knows that and the general public knows it. That’s why ppl who call themself gamers have been ostracized and called nerds, freaks or perverts since the 90’s. Respawn knows gamers don’t have any friends so they make it more appealing to game alone than with friends.
If you group up with someone, Respawn has implemented a ‘prevent this regular person to fall in the gamer pit cause he has friends and is a valued member of society’ countermeasure that pits you against extremely sweaty ppl so that your team won’t play the game again and probably disown you as a friend worse than choosing oddball in GoldenEye, after which point you either go down the rabbit hole alone or go outside and function as a regular person.
Thats the essence of teamplay in Apex. I’m amazed you guys have not realized that yet. Well I’m off doing valued society things. Later nerds
XD
I get this is tongue in cheek but many of us are fully functional members of society. Both me and my friends are married with kids and hold full time careers. This is a hobby for me, which is why I'm not a super sweat playing 6+ hours a day for that predator flight trail.
@TheTrafficKing Same with me dude,I'm leaving the house at 6am for work and getting home around 6:30pm, I'm putting in a fraction of the time these squads I'm playing against are yet somehow I'm deemed of an equivalent skill level.
Don't get me wrong I don't want to be noob stomping every match I join, thats boring. However a little variation in difficulty here and there would be lovely.
This ☝️

@TheTrafficKingThat exists already. Some sessions my win rate is over 10%, my daily k/d ratio reaches almost 2, while in others I go hours without kills. I've had sweaty fights, boring matches, wins with 0 kills, losses with 5-6-7 kills, games with 1800+ damage for 1 kill, 1400+ and no kills or barely above 500 damage for 8 kills. Also, I didn't notice any particular pattern, sometimes I had good games rolling for hours, other times consecutive wins and top 3 placements, wins at the beginning of my session, at the middle or towards the end. This is obviously a variation in difficulty, partly caused by SBMM and partly randomness.
@DoYaSeeMeThis is the antithesis of my experience. Its almost always getting stomped with 0-2 kills. In a 3 hour night I would estimate about 60% of my games are killed with less than 500 damage and no more than 2 kills. 35% are 1-3 kills with 500-1200 damage. And maybe 5% are solid performances with 3-7 kills and 800+ damage. I also used to win 1-2 games a night. Now I might win one game every 2-3 nights. Sometimes I win two in a night and then I go a week without a win. Its ridiculously random to where I pretty much don't expect to win anymore.
Obviously I am not a pro but I experienced way more solid games in prior seasons and no I haven't gotten worse. The matchmaking was not this punishing until mid season 5 and this season its absolutely gone from bad to pure tomf*ckery.
