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 )))

The difference between ranks and pubs has nothing to do with whether or not you should "sweat" or get a "gimme" match. You should NEVER get a gimme match. If you want to relax then go play Candy Crush. This is a competitive shooter where you should be expected to work no matter which hopper you're in. Pubs exists so you can play without risking your grind, if you're having a bad day or are not in the mood to grind. But the game is the same either way. The rules are the same. If people don't play them the same way then that's on their mindset or their failure to understand that Respawn should NOT be offering unfair lobbies to higher-skilled players just because they want to "relax." Relaxation is not what this game is for.
