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 ...

In battle Royale/DM the longest game I had since the season came out was 3 mins with zero damage , 90% of the time I die right at the drop , and when I check the player that killed me they are usually veterans in this game , high skilled players with thousands of kills under their hat ..the skill matching isn’t fair at all and it became beyond challenging (I like a challenge) but this is just boring and not fun at all and it gets frustrating..i reached a point I feel accomplished doing 100 damage a game !!! I mean I wasn’t the best player in the previous season but at least I would have 1 assist or 1 kill .. now it’s just ZERO everything !! Will that be fixed soon cause I’m seriously considering deleting the game if that’s going to be permanent !
- @Mok1squad Because the matchmaking is complete crap and Respawn hasn't done anything about it despite saying late last season that they were going to make some changes.
Welcome to the club, man. Everyone can empathize with you.- @HappyHourSumwur Yeah man it sucks , cause I’m an average player , I’m neither bad or good , and I like the game to be challenging , win some , lose some ..but it gets boring if you are always winning and frustrating if you are always losing ..I hope they fix it soon
@Mok1squadI'm in the same boat as you. KDR around 1.0 solo queue player. Matchmaking is the #1 issue I have with Apex and has been since I started playing in S8. The experience can be absolutely infuriating
. . . Matching you up with players the same or worse than you and then feeding you to Masters level 3 stacks you have absolutely no chance against. And it does it over and over again. You'll get runs of 10-15 matches like that before it feels like the MM makes any adjustments! It is absolutely insane that Respawn thinks they are somehow protecting players like me with that system.
As @reconzero says almost all of the issues being brought up by the community have the * poor matchmaking behind them.
I'm tired of being made a fool by EA sports and respawn by repeatedly buying their battle pass and getting crap they're on their 4-year anniversary and they're still doing trial and error gaming crap I mean really I just want them to die and go away take the game away learn to make a better game or go be janitor somewhere because it seems that you're aptitude
Did they merge two threads here? Because two separate conversations that I was in now appear here.
- @Kyldenar Wow, this was well done and thought out. IMO, very very accurate. I've been playing since beta and this is exactly what I have seen the whole way through. Hopefully the Dev's see this and maybe, just maybe understand it. However if half of them don't even play this game, the odds of that are slim.
Thanks for the insight Kyldenar. Is something different with the ranked matchmaking? I used to be able to get to platinum the first day of the split, occasionally it would take till the second day but this split I can't even get out of gold. I know the matchmaking note thing said they were considering messing with it but I really hoped they wouldn't. I'll have a terrible day of ranked then the next day my lobbies will be considerably easier. There are so many things wrong with this game that there is no reason to be spending any time screwing with the matchmaking. It's so simple, whatever rank your in you get matched with 60 random people from that rank and make pubs 60 random people. If there was any other good fps game I would never touch this game again. And it is only because of the stupid sbmm respawn feels the need to ruin the game with. I really hope your not doing it to ranked now too, I'm hoping people are playing ranked that haven't in a while and it's not that the devs are dumb enough to put a hidden layer of sbmm in ranked. Please stop trying to kill the game
