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?

Yeah, I am an average at best player since season 11 and last season and this season I just simply get thrown into elite top lobbies every round. Bought all heirlooms for all characters and had invested so much time and this horrific matchmaking has just killed this game for me. No more money or time will go to a game that has made it unbearable and unfair to play against others. The last game I played today I died against triple stack YouTubers that I knew were preds on PC. Adios, Apex. Turned a great game into hot garbage. Screenshots below are just a small sample of the last ~20 games I played since I can't attach more than 3 pictures. And yes, 0.12 kd ACTUALLY trying and could never get out of masters and apred lobbies. I never got a break.

@ButterMyBiscuit lol Bruh... would you have happened to have been on South Carolina? Or was it while I still was on Frankfurt maybe, nevermind. I literally had that Wraith as champ yesterday. I think I might have had the Conduit too, the skin and pose looks familiar, but don't remember the name. I had match after match, with obvious 3-stacking teams on South Carolina, with absolutely unrealistic banners, as champs. Even had one with a 575 pred badge, again obvious 3-stacking.
Almost every game. In the end I was enough is enough, went on Virginia... and never saw an unrealistic champ screen again.

  I think St Louis servers. I should say that I was still getting these squads no filling too. The last no fill team that won is in the screenshot. Wish I documented all apreds I ran into. I uninstalled so that's it for me. Good luck to the rest of you, I hope the game gets better for your mental health. Remember, if a game is not enjoyable then don't play it. Don't get sucked in to the sunk cost fallacy. It's not worth it.

    @ButterMyBiscuit While it stinks the game wasn't fun for you I completely agree, if a game is not fun stop playing. Video game time is a hobby and hobbies should leave you happy.
