@RedmattgameYeah Overwatch isn't the best example since it's also just a 6v6 game compared to apex where you have to fill a 60-player lobby. The queue time problems in the game is definitely multi-factorial not just the drop in players.

It got me thinking of possible solutions to the MM without sacrificing queue times. Does removing some of the servers from a same place help? I play in Tokyo and we have 6 servers. What if we only have 2 Tokyo servers so that there would be less separation of players across different servers, increasing the number of players per server, and having a better MM so noobs aren't forced to fill pred lobbies. I'm no dev so feedback is welcome.

@Cheese9Man All good suggestions but does the player count that Apex claim it has stack up when I frequently have lobbies that struggle to fill over 50 players & I play on London servers & play between 6-9pm GMT (depending if Worlds Edge is on 2 hour map rotation of which I wont be playing).Maybe an idea would be to reduce the lobby in a match to 45 players (15 teams).
