I remember that there was a time when you won on average once every 20 kills. Now in solo queue, if you kill a lot, I get 1 win per 100 kills.

I get a lot of kills throughout the game, but at the end suddenly a team comes along with even more kills and kills everyone in 3 seconds. This is what games look like today.

There are not enough players in the PC lobby to make even the pubs playable. Shocking. Putting low lvl and masters/predators in one game is pure madness.

Well done Respawn. When is the next store update?

HOW MANY BEGINNERS CAN YOU ADD TO YOUR TEAM WHEN YOU ARE KILLED BY A PERSON WITH TENS OF THOUSAND KILLS AND THE BEST BADGES (4K DAMAGE AND 20 BOMBS) ON ONE CHARACTER? HOW MUCH DO I ASK? HOW LONG WILL THIS HORRIBLE MATCHMAKING LAST LIKE IT IS NOW?

    I apologize in advance for my English, I used a translator.
    
    I will tell you about the selection of players at the moment from my side. We will talk about the selection in publics, because I play in the rating as part of a team and the selection there does not bother me so much.
    First, some introductory data about myself: I have been playing since season 0, have a total CD of 3.5+, in recent seasons 2.5+, consider myself a player above the average level, took the master 10+ times.
    So, I see several problems in the selection in pubs:
    Since I have a fairly high K/D - I always get into the lobby with a high skill,
    
    1) due to the high skill, 80% of the players in my lobby immediately fall under the ship in the first location to have the opportunity to fight - and in fact the entire game takes place in one location, a related problem of the same situation is the exit of people at the first knock
    
    2) If you fly a little further to land - then 90% of the time you just run around the empty map looking for enemies, since most of them fell at the beginning and died / left
    
    3) Personally, I do not understand the point of calibrating pubs by skill. Why should I play with 5-10% of the best players if there are rating games for this. Sometimes you just want to relax and play in the company of friends with whom I started playing. When they get into my team, we are sent to my strong lobby, and my friends can't play at that level.... in the end, sometimes I just want to play a relaxed game after work - but the selection makes you play to the maximum even in pubs, so what's the point then...
    
    Rating - a game to the max
    Modes - a game for chilling
    Pubs - ??? no understanding
    
    As for me
    - we need a separate lobby for complete newbies
    - we need a separate lobby filled completely randomly, otherwise we get a situation where pubs are simply not needed...
    The player reaches his maximum rating, and then just goes into the modes for a short time... hence the outflow of both new and old players and a drop in online.
    Phew, I hope someone will read this longread to the end )))
