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
The devs admitted it? What do you mean? I've had suspicions that lobbies separate likely cheaters from non-cheaters, unless there aren't enough players to do so which leads to my being tossed to the cronus wolves. Interesting to see someone else has this theory. My games are quite fun when I get a lobby of fair players. Often times the top squads may have the odd aimbot, but I do enjoy the skill-based competition up until then. Nice to meet you, by the way! Happy to hear there are still people like me playing and holding out for positive change.
The original blog post came out in January of 2023. That is 16 months ago and MM is actually worse now. Let that sink in.
What’s your current take on matchmaking (pubs)?
I know you said its “worse” now— what does that mean for you?
What would “good” matchmaking look like for you right now, versus what you’re experiencing?
@Axs5626Sxa5001"Good" used to be about getting 1 to 3 kills every 2nd or 3rd game with a 4 or 5 kill game every 10th or so and a win every 20th game or so. When I quit playing BR modes about 2 months ago, the better games (3+ kills) stopped happening and I would go hours getting no kills and minimal damage, dying almost immediately in the first fight I got into. Every enemy seemed like part of a 3 stack of murder bots that never missed and anticipated my every move while my teammates were literally brain dead.
I'm 6 games into the new Season 21 and I can already tell matchmaking is back to ridiculous mode. I'm having 10 minute queues and when I finally get into a game, it's nothing but ranked pred stacks vs my 2 man with a random who leaves immediately. The Communists are attempting equality of outcome again.
When 23 kills is not enough to win TDM anymore.
🤕😐 Apparently I have to try harder.
- @Twizted3k_tv Yep, I decided to check in on S21 last night and quickly realized that MM is the same as S20 if not worse. Pubs is completely unplayable for solo queuers.
I know I'm not great, but it feels completely unfair at this point. I played 15 Trios matches solo queue with randoms and didn't get more than 2 kills and my KDR was about half what it was before S20. I quit 2 weeks into last season and now I'm quitting S21 after one session.
