Still seems kinda pointless this season

I get that the matches should get tougher as my KDR increases, and I am fine with that 🙂

It's more that my KDR was actually higher last season and i was getting more reasonable, enjoyable and fair feeling matches. This season I seem to be being placed in matches with people with a much higher skill level than myself. As for matchmaking, below is a snip from my stats today:

Obviously 85 / 80 is actually 1.06, but Apex seems to think this is 1.6. Quite a difference when you're matchmaking! This did drop to 0.99 as soon as my deaths exceeded my kills, and the next match I was able to have a good game and pick up 6 kills. After this, my KDR was exaggerated again and I have been back in impossible games.

I don't mind facing opponents that are better than me, it's how i have improved so far. It's just pointless at the moment as I learn nothing being lasered down in less than a second.

To be clear, I did also allude to the fact that it feels like people are cheating. This could also be that they are much more skilled, but there are times when it just doesn't feel that way (i.e. the 3 people firing single shots from distance at exactly the same time at exactly the same spot when i poked my head out. Maybe difficult to explain unless you witnessed it 🤨)
