Seriously it is so suspect.
Had 5 games in a row where I downed 3-4 opponents and my teammates can't finish them off.
Stop this.
Stop it.
Whatever intent you have with this nonsense is unethical.
Pair people with layers of similar skill level, mentality, ability.
This is beyond a joke. This has got to be one of the most unplayable games. Along with every other EA title.
In a 5 meter radius my teammate1 was face to face shooting the oppo, teammate2 was behind oppo shooting in back...
AND THEY STILL COULDNT FINISH IT.
The best way to play apex is down opponents sweat the kill and when you get downed leave the game.
Thanks to matchmaking.

10 GAMES MY TEAMMATES CANT MANAGE A SINGLE KILL
STOP THIS!?@?+*×*×*÷>×*!()!(@
Back in the day it was a drop an enemy or two then hide & wait for their teammates to heal them then take them out as well but for me that's changed because of the third party nature of the game (& the inherited kills) where enemy teams can often be drawn to gunfire wait to take out the injured surviving team for cheap easy kills.What I mean by inherited kills is for example I'm the only player left on my team (my teammates are dead & waiting to be respawned or have quit the game) I drop two players on same team but don't get to kill them & then an another enemy team/player join in to kill me & then either finish off the two players I dropped who weren't revived & so the player who killed me gets three kills from the two additional kills from the players I dropped.Kill me for the one kill by all means but the stupid inherited kills scenario where you're getting additional kills for killing one player is just plane stupid & needs to be taken out of the game.In other words if I drop a player I'll take out asap if I want to maintain my kills stats but I'm finding very strange the sheer amount of gold & purple downed/dropped shields players are carrying these days & the speed they can seem to circle around protecting themselves as I try to navigate around them to fire at unprotected areas.
PS;I agree the matchmaking is atrocious made worse by solo queuing where it either doesn't obligate the match/squad fill option putting you either missing teammates or puts you with teammates who want tail off somewhere else get dropped by the first enemy they encounter then quit the game.
but that's how matchmaking was working since day one.
If you expected to play with/against same skill level players, then that's not how MM works in apex.
You may get in such games, when you play in party and very rarely playing with randoms.
But apex don't use SBMM. Yes, they call it SBMM, but it's not. It's Retention Based/Engagement Optimized Match-Making.
If you have played this game for some time, you know. You can play many games in a row against way stronger players and then matchmaking puts you in bot lobby, so you can win. Basically MM decides when you will win/lose. Every game is rigged.
Last few seasons I was constantly dying from pre-made squads of high skill players, when I had 2 random newbies in my squad. And MM gets worse and worse with every season. I lost hope and I am not playing this game anymore.
I stopped playing for this reason 3 weeks ago. If/when they address the ALGS hacking I may drop in for an occasional mixtape match, but that's it.
DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE
THATS ALL THEY EFFING DO
landing on the sides of mountains hot dropping and landing nowhere near any loot.
I've not had a game last more than a minute with these trash clowns.
Stop this.
Such unethical practices from this company. Stop it. STOP
AND again.
30+ matches and counting.
Both teammates dead within minute of landing.
I've spent more time not in the game than in the game.
My KD has dropped from 1.25 to 1.13.
Introduce intelligence and or skill based matchmaking.
