The official Matchmaking blog post

I don't know about you, but now I started meeting people with low levels, such as 20, 30, 50, with the best badges for 20 kills in one game or 4000 damage. I've never seen anything like this before. Now I see such people in the lobby very often.

I know how hard it is to make such badges, so the question is whether everyone actually smurfs now or whether we have a really huge problem with low-level cheaters.

More and more often I feel like I am being scanned by the walls. I can't see or hear the enemy yet, but I immediately get shots.

I also have the impression, like the guy above, that the problem with cheaters is huge, but now it's rare to meet someone who comes straight at you with 100% aim. I have the impression that now a huge part of cheaters play "intelligently", mainly using wall hacking and possibly configs and anti-recoils.

The direction this game is heading is probably just a slow death. I don't see any chances in the current game. In 99 out of 100 games I'm just cannon fodder, whereas half a year ago I had a KD of 2.20. This is a nightmare.

Matchmaking=terrible right now. I always get put with level 400s

forget the stupid graph, players are dwindling down fast and cheater problem isn't getting fixed at all, I get to face more cheater in my lobby instead compared to many seasons ago (I started from seasson 1) I think the amount of cheater that I encounter this season is close to the amount of cheater back in season 1 (the peak cheater season). That stupid graph become irrelevant.

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.

"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

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.

@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.
