@Airish85 Very similar k/dr across those seasons too and exactly linked to why I uninstalled last week. It really feels like slightly above average players are just getting the worst of matchmaking. Too good for newbies, not good enough for sweats… but sacrificed to the sweats in the name of comforting newbies in the hopes they stick around.

My gut tells me that never was any sort of SBMM in Apex because of the fact that I get better lobbies when there are less players online on my regional servers.

And as opposite to for example now when its the prime time, the EOMM is really trying its best to push me by giving me worse and worse game experiences (and then possibly the dopamine reward hook at somepoint). What makes this sickening is I only play ranked where I would expect to play people against my own skill. Situation should be reversed by any logic. I shouldn't have to grind 4 hour game sessions to get the single "good game experience". My time is too valuable for that.

Lot of talk about integrity and not much to show for it.

Thank you for fixing this. Now I get bad lobbies on both.
Gotta stay consistent.
