Solo Q in a nutshell

I can confirm it is "somewhat" random.

As you can see in my detailed 28 game post I as D4 got matched with current Pred 520 and 226...unfortunately in both cases they somehow were equally bad as any random Plat = doing their own thing, not communicating, one did manage 1000 damage and a kill other finished with 159 and in both cases we lost RP badly.

So part of me was happy that time to time matchmaking system actually works pairing Preds with D4s not with other current Preds / Masters, on the other hand I am 100% sure they are exploiting something as:

1. that dude who did 1000 damage clearly was walling, just low-key, randomly pushing into 3stack and actually not getting deleted instantly
2. other dude was clearly duo stacking with other D4 guy who was total bot
3. one or two days before that I got matched with like 700 Pred, equally bad somehow -> same lobby contained 3 Russian (based on nicks) Pred team who won the game, clearly were 3stacking and all 3 of them somehow coincidentally do not appear in Apexlegendsstatus.com player base, for the first time I see notification that in particular Pred number placement says "this player is not in our player base"

But that's Apex unfortunately - game systems screw you, other players as teammates mostly screw you and other players as enemies screw you by cheating in most cases above P4 levels in ranked. 😔

always was like this, and before was worse becouse they were premade stacks, just get good at the game
