The official Matchmaking blog post

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but it is about matchmaking in Apex.  I'd like to know how it is fair when I'm in gold, almost getting demoted and my teammates are silver and we get put into a plat lobby.  And why do I lose points if I'm 2 ranks above my teammate?  In past years you would get loss forgiven if a teammate was lower rank than you.  It makes it very difficult to level up.  It is very easy to get into gold but then hard to get into plat when your teammates are bronze and silver.
