Here’s the most awaited blog post about matchmaking https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/matchmaking-2023
Forum Discussion
@Cro_PitttThat’s also how i’m reading it, which means if I perform well, i’ll be matched against preds, all the while having two ball in chain teammates.
How did they think this would be a winning formula is beyond me, maybe because they assume everyone would play as a premade?
Give me solos pls 🤣
Matchmaking changes? Anyone...anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
C'mon, Respawn. WTAH are you doing?
Matches the last few days have been absolutely horrible. Yesterday, I got melted instantaneously 3 out of 4 matches. Then I had a match where I got hard carried to a W by a guy I had no business being in the same lobby with. He had 10 kills and about 2,500 damage in a lobby where I got my head shot off every time I peaked even a little and aped by 3 stacks repeatedly.
"Okay. So lets draw some cool graphs to a long blog post about how we have been testing "matchmaking changes". We will of course say something oblivious like "everyone gets more kills" to get the playerbase active again. Get some returning players who had already given up on Apex. We make some promises how things are going to change. It will probably take them about a month or two to notice how nothing actually changed and then these returning players quit and system is left with only too big skill level separates. So what we are gonna do now is try to keep those try hards so we put these super sweats in the same pubs team to keep them happy. Noobs and losers will of course be put randomly to other teams in that lobby. Now you ask how are we going to keep those below average players. Well somebody has to play the mixtape so it doesnt end up like arenas. So after they get grinded to shreds they will go play some mixtape where we will put them on a team with 12v6 advantage. This win will certainly make their day and have them coming again tomorrow."
Has anyone actually seen any code or datamining stuff on this so called matchmaking update??- @HappyHourSumwur Wanted to give you another +100 for the "Bueller? Bueller? " 🙂
- @r1ggedgame That's what it feels like. Blog post and then nothing for about 5 months.
I think players hoping for some big improvement or any sort of improvement to matchmaking in BR mode for that matter (& I speak as a solo queuer) then prepare to be massively disappointed but frankly not surprised.12 matches in so far in S17 & the MM feels just as awful & as bad as S16.Just like S16 it looks like being another season where Apex is going to have to rely on the Mix-Tape to keep players playing Apex.
