Skill-Based Matchmaking Blues
After a long day, I wait for my two friends to hop online, and we love to hop onto apex. It's really fun, some times. We avoid casual trios due to the overwhelming amount of level 500+ 20k kill trio stacks that pub stomp from predator and master. So we think to ourselves, "Let's play some ranked. Then there will be enforced skill based matchmaking." Thing is though, we get wiped by level 17-30 squads with 800-2000 kills a piece, proudly flaunting their bronze rank with their 20 kill badge and 4k damage badge. It's like a medal of honor to them to tilt us. Which it does, eventually. It's disheartening when we have amazing games, 1 in 5 times. And by amazing, maybe a kill each, sometimes one of us pops off. Like I'm gold IV, friends are silver 2 and silver 4, and i only ranked up by playing slow games being last man standing. not even by real skill. I really just wish there was some form of combatting this blatant ruin of countless games for people who aren't as good. I get you gotta boost your ego somehow, but why * on our games in the process. Isn't it more rewarding killing people your skill or better? Rant done 🙂
-A lame casual player, no sarcasm or hate intended :D
