The official Matchmaking blog post
Here’s the most awaited blog post about matchmaking https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/matchmaking-2023
Forum Discussion
@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 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.- @LaughingSharko Can honestly say I thought it was impossible for the SBMM to get worse, and I crossed my fingers when they explained they were working on the situation to place people into fairer matches with more skill buckets available…..absolute garbage!! It’s worse than ever, and that’s a crazy place to be at. My average pubs game (as an average joe gamer/ getting a bit old) is apparently with lobbies filled with diamonds, masters and preds ( guess who wins) it’s sucking the last tiny bit of enjoyment out of what should be the best shooter out there. And hopping into the lower ranked brackets feels barely any different and I don’t even know how that’s possible ( less master/ pred badges but lots of lvl 50 ish players….wink wink) some other studio out there needs to give us a decent contender to Apex with good SBMM……I’m gone like a rocket!
