@Cro_Pittt man after 10 matches it places me in silver 3, and tonight i played 6 matches and every time was killed by at least current plat2+ players, diamond and once master. Where is logic there??? This new MM is def the worst so far. It is good for skilled players, but for a regular Joe it is nightmare.
@gokuzmajCurrent ranks do not matter, so just don’t worry about them and especially don’t take them as any indicator if the person can play.
The matchmaking is okayish, there will allways someone be at the receiving end. That’s nothing respawn can fix.
Also I do by now believe that a higher chunk of mmr comes from placements, meaning if you hit top 10 a lot you mostlikely will get a high mmr where you shouldn’t be
- @matzesingt I've been saying for a long time that even in pubs, top 5s had a huge affect on the MM so that wouldn't surprise me in ranked. It is why people that do not fight in pubs until the end usually run into some really good team and get stomped.
- @matzesingt i am not talking bout rank, just in 6 games 0 kills. The reason is because i m not in the lobby for me, but apex insists on that one!
@gokuzmajThe matchmaking is still broken & I'm convinced that they haven't implemented any of the changes discussed in their blog post. It is as bad if not worse than it's ever been.
- @HappyHourSumwur Agreed. Seems broken on a fundamental level. Either that, or the pros have figured out a way to game the system.
MM is broken both in BR and in Mixtape modes.
Not even joking, keep having games where the MM puts a bunch of randoms together who can't even get more than 500 damage each against two full stacks of clubs. Games are going back to 50-10 blowouts again.
Same with BR, where I get matched with TimTheTTVGawd0057Wraith who has more kills than I have damage on my entire account. Good stuff.
