Why am I going against Apex Predators?
For the past 3-4 months I have been encountering Apex Predators and players far above my skill. It happens every day I play Apex, so often that I can't even keep count. It has started to take away fr...

Understandable, I have friends who have about 0.7 to 1.0 and they still encounter Apex predators and 4K damage people in their lobbies.
@skullcrusher907 Yeah my KD is 1.15 at the moment, I play exclusively with randoms. I bounce in and out of the top tier lobbies. I occasionally get Master and Pred players as teammates. When I'm having a good night I'll have 5-6 or more rounds getting 10 kills and posting 2k damage. Those nights SBMM bumps me up into lobbies with 3-4 pred trails coming out the drop ship and a few master players.
My big issue is consistency. I think they are simply more consistent with their numbers than I am. I'm sure you have killed preds and master players before, probably more than you realize.
The thing is we all have rounds in which we get destroyed. It's easy to look at their badges and say figures! I should not be playing in matches with them. But honestly, you probably kill them more frequently than you realize.
Take it as a compliment! You're legit good if you're in those lobbies. You might be on the lower end of those lobbies but still.. You'll also get better the more you play in those lobbies, I know I do. I had one night in which I was in those lobbies for a solid 4-5 hours, I finally had a streak of bad games and got put back into mid tier lobbies.. I went on a rampage posting nearly 2800 damage and 10 kills.

Forsure, Thank you for the insight. Definitely gives me more understanding as to how the matchmaking works, makes sense that after I get a win I’m in the lobbies with demons the next game
- @skullcrusher907 Yeah, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. It's a good way to really test your skill and push yourself to the next level. That's how I view it when I'm in those lobbies. If I get melted by preds I spectate the rest of the match to try and learn some tricks I might be missing.
