Yeah, I agree, to show how bad the matchmaking is I actually got placed with one of the top algs players/youtubers that I watch. At first I didn't believe it was really him until I saw his damage tracker that was in the multi millions and my jaw just dropped. He got 21 kills and I only got 2 lol. I thought it was cool he kept ressing me every time I got knocked even though he really didn't need to since there were several 1v3s he won before I could even get into the building.

Not only was this bad matchmaking as low as my kd is, but I noticed he took way less damage than I did while shooting out in the open without cover and also when spectating him while knocked I noticed his aim is really not much better than mine, just he has very fast reflexes and all of his shots registered as he snapped from one enemy to the next. It just confirmed for me that some of the issues I have are technical problems with the game.

Anyway, I agree they should fix the matchmaking. I too get too many lobbies with people above my skill level.

"his aim is really not much better than mine"

I've seen accuracy numbers from algs players, and they really aren't any better than most normal players, apparently you and I included. I think what's different is that their accuracy is accomplished on extremely mobile targets, while normal players such as myself are naturally matched with players who don't have what seems like pc macro style movement.

So I guess I don't need an aimbot, I just need a pc + mnk + motion cheats. If it isn't one cheat then it's another.

Not trying to make light of an experience that's making you miserable, but your k/d doesn't say to me that you're in the wrong lobbies. It says to me that you're in the right lobbies. Not that the matchmaker uses only k/d to gauge skill, but it's certainly one factor. Is there any other vital stat that you feel would reasonably be better if you were matched differently?

@reconzero Yeah, to me it seemed that what he was better at was faster reflexes and just going from one thing to the next, but not necessarily aim.

  No Timmy is one of the pro Apex players that actually has insane aim mechanics. His target switching and tracking is far above most players. Most don't though.
  Also his game awareness and confidence plays a big role. It's easy to stomp people when you believe you should win every fight you take. Average players usually lack that or their confidence greatly outweighs their mechanics and awareness.

    @SchraLpz I think his aim individually is about as good as mine, but I think mine is pretty good when the game works right.
    
    What makes him better is his speed and how fast he moves from one target to the next.
    
    However, what if we take itzTimmy or any other algs player, make it where they get knocked in only 2 hits no matter what gun hits them, the enemies can't be seen half the time, their movement slows down whenever a gunfight starts, and the damage they do is only a tenth of what it should be where a whole clip from a gun does under 90, sometimes only 16 like I had from the nemesis, and many shots go right through the enemy without registering.
    
    I am willing to bet I could defeat any algs player with these conditions in a 1v1 in the firing range pit, yet sadly these are the conditions I play in each day on both switch and pc. Yet, I've learned to work around these things and still get 1 or 2 kills each day, and even won 5 matches this season. I'll bet if I had the advantages these players do I'd be predator and an algs champion.
    
    When I see people not even bother to take cover when they are shot and get hit much more than me yet take little to no damage, maybe just drop a couple shield squares when there getting hit so much it's like a disco strobe going off when you spectate them you know there's a problem.
    
    My rant here isn't to put down itztimmy or any other algs player or youtuber because they are amazing and produce great content. My problem is that the game is bugged and it's holding many players back that should be doing much better, and many are leaving the game for these reasons.
