The official Matchmaking blog post

my gut tells me that its some BS that when I get to play the game all that Im playing is AI. And the other two of my team mates run the other direction to get away from me. I know this isn't a bug and I wish y'all could set the game back to normal today I was playing it live and my teammates where running to get away from my dude and I end up having to hunt them down. And when I finally got to them they were already fighting and the other team was running to get away from me as well. But then when they finally started shooting back my controller quit working on me as I was shooting them back. Let me remind you I won first place 5 or 6 times this morning before all this started happening. I don't know if me winning started pissing some people off or what but that **bleep** is crazy. fr Does your gut tell you that is some **bleep** considering my name on there is gutter short for gut all the developers in the world know who that is.

this system of MM (either OEMM or SBMM) developed by Respawn is just BS. They only see their wallet and not the player community. I used to be a big spender but now I just play the game for free, making it costs for them only. It is even better than quitting the game. The player community should act like this only until they get a good system for players who do not have a level of Pros and continuously falling into pred/masters lobbies while having 0,7KD like me. I'm just an old gamer (51 yo) and, sorry no, my learning curve is limited by my age but following Respawn and EA I just have to adapt myself, this is pure money strategy then, if they want to play like this, I'll play for free entirely and just bringing them costs. Oh and by the way, by default, I just do not buy any EA or Respawn game anymore ! They do not deserve my money. 

@r1ggedgameThis new matchmaking, my friend, is much worse than the previous one. I don't know how they did it, but yes, it's worse XD

Before I deleted the game, I would watch 50 minutes of loading screens per hour of play because all the games were so short. This has become boring.

This was "the balanced skill level" in the lobby. I also recommend that you simply delete the game for now and see what Respawn will do in next season. I will just wait until then.

"For us, good matchmaking means putting you in a squad with players of a similar skill, in a lobby with squads within your skill range, where everyone has a shot to come out on top. "

"This is also why CWMM works so well: it starts grabbing those with the closest values of skill when trying to fill a lobby. "

Seriously , how can you write such crap in the Matchmaking Update post when the reality is like this ?
Yet another untested pile of xxx based on artificial datasets, how do they believe to revitalize the game when they cant even get the matchmaking part right ?

10 games, 10 times i get randoms that do a fraction of my damage ...
If Respawn keeps lying to people about the Matchmaking its no wonder why people leave.

@Blekerododunno if that was ever possible, but i also often get random mates with a way higher rank than me ... literally having no gamesense, no movement, no tactics, no aim ... you can have a deficit in one of the mentioned , but not in all to get to those ranks ... wonder how they get to that rank that fast.

@r1ggedgame From what I've heard, it's easy to "cheat" this system, usually at the beginning of a new season. You generate 1 kill and die on purpose in the next, e.g. 20-30 matches. Supposedly, with KD 0.1 you go to the bot lobby, where obtaining such badges is trivial.

I don't know how true it is, but I saw such a video on YT once.

Only thing for me is that I have never seen so many low lvl accounts with top badges before. I just don't know what's going on here.

@r1ggedgame On what basis are such statistics presented, because I don't understand?

Is it that during this worst Apex event in history it is not possible to earn badges and people who report it and send screenshots of the results receive these badges in this way?

If not, can you tell me what exactly it was about and on what basis were these badges awarded?
