The official Matchmaking blog post

Every day I see the same people in the champion's squad or in mine (day by day they are repeated more and more often because I remember their nicknames). Will you do something with matchmaking on PC so that you can play with other people?

I feel like I'm playing in a lobby with 100-200 people at most at any given time.

"As always, we look forward to your feedback and will keep you in the loop about what’s coming next. Until next time, Legends!"

I wonder who believes that crap 

In their case, silence is golden. They can never respond to serious problems and respond to important topics. This is standard on this forum.

This game is dead for solo queue players. Public games are unplayable due to the world's worst matchmaking. When you play solo, you get weak friends, and you play with 3-stack masters who have several dozen thousand character kills and the best badges.

Ranked games above diamond are also unplayable for the average person in solo queue. This means that for solo players this game is only suitable for trash.

@r1ggedgameApex is down to 47k players on Steam today . . . less than TF2 (17 years old!) and out of the Top 20.  Apex has just hurtled off the cliff. I'll always hold out hope that it can be resurrected, but right now things are at an all time low.

I agree with the comments saying Apex is dead for solo queue players. I am (was?) one and have moved on to Fortnite of all games. Never thought I would but it's actually very fun. Much more low key, lots of variety, humor, nice graphics on a quality game engine (Unreal 5), and you still get tense fights and end games at times to get your competitive juices going. 

Additionally, how can you play pubs in a solo queue if there is no penalty for leaving the game? Full teams wait patiently for the opportunity to respawn, and when playing solo, 99% of the time, after being knocked down, such people immediately leave the game. This is an additional difficulty for solo queue players that I forgot to mention.

And again, in the pub, the triple predator in 3 stack on controllers kills me. Matchmaking is just one big joke. Crossplay + matchmaking with predators in one lobby means that no one wants to play your game anymore. EA, maybe you will start working with Respawn in the new year?

Provide the option to disable crossplay for PC players and only allow MnK vs. MnK matchmaking. I'm tired of being cannon fodder for 3stacks on controllers.

In the evenings, I play on EU servers with the same people every day. I already remember these nicknames by heart and I know in advance what character they will play. This is sick. Do I really have to be put in a lobby where 100 people are playing and they're just exchanging with each other all the time? This is sick.

"There is a loose correlation between actual skill (as measured in MMR) and a player’s RP value."
Now that is a bold lie , there is no correlation between RP and skill

Yes, a very loose correlation that one team may have triple pred (probably at least KD at level 3-4) with lvl 1 (usually a cheater). Great correlation along with anti-cheat protection. :D

Pubs cannot be played because crossplay, sweating, too much skill disparity in one lobby. And in solo diamond rankings, I simply don't have the strength to fight with 3 stacks.

Now my game looks like this: I play a dozen or so days a season and then take a month break until the next split, because there is no solo mode for a player who could feel the fun of the game.

And so many hidden cheaters with configs and wallhacking. Mhm... I wonder when Apex will start detecting these wonders 🙂 If that were the case, several thousand more people would be immediately banned.
