Season 16 matchmaking
Okeee, so the first few days of season 16 the experience is horrible for me. - I'm gold 3 at maximum, in season 15 I got that rank with alot of trouble, why am I now playing against diamond/masters ...

bronze 1 looby..........
None in that picture is masters or pred, they are gold and plat. Sure they have been masters and pred, but with a rank reset system that is irrelevant.
@TheDarkWaver They literally have badges of master and pred. The "derank" is a lie, You wanna tell me that these people suddenly start playing below their ranks just because EA/spawn decides to derank players?
Respawn has always been good at kicking the can down the road (when it comes to fixing things in the game) but the problem is they've never been good (or honest enough) as to how far they'll kick the can exactly.Against my better judgement I've been playing a fair few games of BR Trios on pubsin S16 on both the XBOX Series X ( Level 360) & the PS5 (Level 500+) & as a solo queuer despite about being 150 levels apart between the consoles the MM has been absolutely atrocious on both.Not only that but the loot layout across all 3 maps just feels worse than ever where I can often scour entire buildings & not find a single weapon but plenty of sniper stocks & white shields though.I've still been encountering match-fill problems in a fair amount of matches & in all honesty if Respawn can't seem to fix match-fill (or can't be bothered to fix it) then how the hell are they going to realistically fix MM exactly?.Even several Youtubers have mentioned what I suspected about the audio this season sounds worse than it has previously.
A few Apex Youtubers mentioned a few days ago that because of the budget constraints inflicted on Apex (despite being one of EA's most profitable games) what with targets being missed last season thus leading to the Mobile version & the Single Player being canned that other promises & plans in the pipeline such as a proper next gen upgrade with 120Hz,Unreal 5 engine upgrade,cross play etc have been kicked even further down the road possibly until the next few seasons because of these budget constraints.
I used to play ranked, when it was fun.
You are unable to understand what is being said clearly. Read what is stated. This game operates on a rank based system. It also has a downrank every season. These players "HAVE" been masters and pred, they are "ARE" prob gonna run over the whole lobby, but they "ARE" currently being matched in lobbies appropriate to their "CURRENT" rank.
Rookie aside. But if a former pred now plat player is whooping your * in plat lobbies, that is a problem with the "deranking" system that EA for some god awfull reason thinks is a good idea to have in the game still. Ergo they arent getting matched with players out of their rank, but they are gonna have to stomp worse players to get back to their original rank every season.
Op is right on track. I stopped playing last half of last season at plat 2. Came back for tdm,(it sucked) tried ranked. I am bronze 4. Lots of pretty dive trails. My teammates are legit bronze silver players at best. If they don’t hot drop they have zero awareness of enemies let alone ring movement and rotating circle. Let’s be honest with everyone here. I am a season zero player and have heard the same rhetoric over and over again, this is a team based game and if you solo que you are screwed. On a side note region licking still hasn’t happend, I am in Iowa zone and I get teammates and enemies with Asian characters instead of letters who rubber and all over the place in all game modes. I am taking this season off since it is already a hot mess and doesn’t bode well for the rest of it. On another side note if we have an op gun like nemesis how about bringing back select fire and disrupt or rounds to balance it out? I would like to see an alternator or prowler properly equipped go up against this op gun. No matter what your stance is after 15+ seasons and all of these issues respawn has proven it can’t handle or balance this game. I can drop into Fortnite or cod and not feel like I am getting owned every game by people extremely better than I am. I don’t expect to win ever, but I do expect in a 1 v 1 I don’t feel like I got layered before firing a shot and that is how most games feel in apex, my teammates die instantly and 1 v 3 time. Left running for my life to incessant pings of ransoms who insist on hot dropping and bitching when they die because they didn’t get their dream loadout. SMH. This game makes you mad sometimes. Anyhoot. Good luck to those who are going to play this season.
