Unfair Ranked MatchMaking
Recently I have just moved up from Diamond 4 to Diamond 3 and I am really noticing how unfair the matchmaking on Apex Legends ranked works. In diamond 4 I was only playing against people in my rank or platinum ranked players which is a slight disadvantage to platinum because yes, I am in diamond but a low ranked diamond so we work as a gatekeeper to play 1-2s. I was still able to get out for diamond 4 quite easily. What I do not understand is that as soon as I hit diamond 3, I match 3 stack predators in the top 100’s. This makes no sense to me unless I was diamond 1 at least! I would be fine playing other masters or diamonds my rank but playing against top 100 predators as champions every single game is ridiculously unfair and I have not been gaining any points into diamond 3. Why must a diamond 3(2 tiers lower) Play against top 100 predators every single game. I know there are not many predators because there are only 500. But it seems like you guys said “Well they hit diamond 3 they can take top 500 players easily” The skill gap between a diamond player and an apex predator is very large(Think of a gold r6 player vs diamond r6 player for example... 2 tier difference) Yes, a problem with being a predator can be long queue timers but it's because you are TOP 500 ON THAT SYSTEM. There is no reason I should not be matched with other diamonds or low ranked masters(they would work as a gatekeeper for diamond 1-2s) Adding cross play could fix this issue so there would be a pool of 1500 predators and they could duel to see who is #1 overall. Another way you could fix this is match diamonds with diamonds and low masters, while master rank deals with diamonds 1-2 and apex predators, confused on why this isn't already a thing and why this is so unfair for a majority of people, not just the top 500 slaying diamond players with ease.
