Hey look! Season 20 and matchmaking is still complete garbage.

If anything, the changes to evo shields and crafting have made it feel worse, if you can imagine that.

It still takes something like 20 games in a row of getting teammates worse than you and getting melted by 3 stacks way better than you before it starts to feel like MM is doing anything about it. Then it is still one good game and you are bumped back up again to be cannon fodder for better players.

Does anyone at Respawn play this game out in the real world to know what it really feels like as an average or casual player?

Agreed. I would also like to add my previous comment about the matchmaking survey to be more detailed.

Had one pop up last night and I didnt know how to answer it.

YES or NO did you enjoy the game is too vague.
My teammates where poor but so was enemies and I got a lot of kills. I say YES and I get pred lobby with Bot teammates.
Enemies & teammates where both way above my skill level. I say NO and I get better teammates that destroy the lobby.
RNG unlucky and didnt get a gun off drop. I say NO and I might get any combo of above.
ETC.

  @WTF_HuitzoGlad to see MM in ranked using RP feels better for you. Resetting everyone to 1 RP probably helps, at least for now.
  
  Why not just use that idea for pubs if it actually works better. Just calculate RP for BR mode pubs matches to use for MM without assigning ranks. Keep these Pubs Points (PP's . . .LOL) hidden if you want; they become the new MMR.
  @Airish85 The Finals survey is the right way to ask detailed questions so you get meaningful feedback. The Apex survey actually offends me. I've said Yes maybe once (only time I got it after a win) and Respawn has never communicated why they send it out or what they do with the responses. It is a complete joke.
