You just had to have logical thinking and some experience in Apex to understand even without clear stats that this change of lobby info was to cover up low extremes of the ranked players be it silvers in Plat or Golds in Pred lobbies.

Also for forever problematic D4+ lobbies it is "easier" for people to accept say 4 Preds per 20 teams vs actually seeing that there are 12 Pred players out of 60. Same mind-trick as X.99 prices.

At least it clearly shows that Respawn is aware of their "SBMM" system results and clearly want to hide it as much as possible "until fixed" :)

Meanwhile for people who use Apex Tracker - picture of matchmaking is still loud and clear :) Will not be surprised if they will cut this API soon to disable any "leakage" of their "SBMM" data :P
