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 ...
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.
