Why is my skill level in Apex Legends so inconsistent?

Sometimes when I play, I am able to comfortably kill entire teams without teammates, and some days, like yesterday, I was struggling to hit a no-skin bloodhound with a mastiff once, and it took me like five shots while he was standing, not moving. Why is it that my skill is so durrastically inconsistent? I've heard plenty of times that it could be overall health, but does it really effect you this much? Does anyone else experience this?

    The only thing I experienced was that in the solo queue I got AI-type friends and had to fight against 3stacks with the best badges. It was mega fair then. So regardless of the day it was always **bleep**ty, because playing in pubs combines the Preds with the Bronzes.

    This game has the worst matchmaking of any FPS game, so that's probably why it's like that for you.

  • The matchmaking in this game is horrendous and that would account for a match where you can single-handedly wipe an entire squad without breaking a sweat. Five shotgun shells to down a static target sounds like something else entirely. If you were "on target" for all shots but dealt no damage then that's a connection issue or a server issue.

    But in general bad matchmaking will make you feel exactly like you are the best player in the world for one match and the worst player in the world for the next. You wouldn't think it would be possible (much less desirable) to build a game with a skill gap that wide, but here we are the age of the modern shooter where you can go to YouTube and watch footage of the best players and then footage of the best cheaters... and I defy anyone to tell the difference between them or prove that the "best" are not also cheating. Google Apex Legends cheats then find an online doctor to write you a prescription for Ritalin. You will be a predator in a week. And if you happen to get banned then just move over to a secondary and keep going. This is the game now.
