The rank demotion each season isn’t that bad. We’re able to get back relatively quickly and those games constitute the minority of my overall play time. Most my time is in pubs.

It’s a mix of both solo queue and with my friends. My friends are in the same boat. We do well in ranked up until Masters where we just get stomped. So we play pubs but run into the same thing (lobbies that are 80% master/pred).
Idk, the whole system is just disenchanting. It’s mind boggling that someone can be in the top 5% regarding skill yet lose MORE than someone in the bottom 50%.
I often pose this question to people and they end up struggling with the implications of the answer:
Who should win more overall (pubs + ranked):
A) Skilled players should win more overall.
B) All players should win at similar ratios, because all players should only ever be playing people at their skill level.- Vdstrk5 years agoSeasoned Ace@Axs5626Sxa5001
What if after a certain point you won't be able to make it unless you cheat?
Look, top Apex pred players HAVE been caught cheating. I would not be surprised if there would be more getting caught in the future. - hayhor5 years agoHero@Axs5626Sxa5001 Ok. You didnt answer one question I'm very curious about- When you queue solo do you get easier lobbies and worse teammates?

Er, first world/guud player problems?
First off, yes, you should quit however many games you want without doing it so much you get banned. Which really only applies to ranked anyway. With your experience, I think you actually know this.
Second, yes, the problem really is your skill level and how the match making system perceives your skill. Which means I kind of doubt you're going to get what you want. A Masters player, even one who can't climb to pred, is so much better than most of the game population, even if it gets mixed up I doubt you'll end up in a lot of satisfying games . There could be some sort of special beneficial system meant to cycle high skill players together even in pubs, but I also doubt Apex will be looking to do more programming work to come up with a solution for this.
This is why I don't think pubs should have any sbmm whatsoever. Sure, you might be outmatched or outplay your opponents most games, but it is a Battle Royal. Take your lumps and learn. And...every now and then you'll end up with a game satisfying enough to keep you going.
