Youre ruining casual gamers experience.
Start listening to your players. Pubs is completely broken. You're allowing preds to take the whole map of low KD players for what? Their streams bringing you attention? Is that all you guys care abo...

@dl45ohy5ebav The topic is brought up frequently here.
My advice to players in your skill range is to exclusively play ranked. Your lobby will not be 57 other Preds in ranked, as it does a better job of keeping like-skilled players together.
And hypothetically, if your stance is: “I don’t ever want to encounter a player better than me”, then I suggest you avoid multi-player games entirely.

- @Axs5626Sxa5001 I don't think he has 57 other preds. One team seems to find their way into his lobby and wipes it out. Ranked is a good idea as an option but with the way deranking and smurfs work it isn't much better.
I will say this though- Having one super team in a lobby is better than having 20 lol@hayhorIdk. I’m losing patience trying to explain to people that having 3 preds in a lobby feels different than having 40. You know this. Even if you’re highly skilled these lobbies can feel absolutely Impossible. I gotta be honest. I would rather be a slightly under average player with one pred team in my lobby, than be a Masters level player with all other Masters and Preds. The game just plays totally different when you can’t make a single mistake.
One team of preds/masters on mics and coordinated is more than enough to wipe out the lobby.
- @Axs5626Sxa5001 forcing us casuals to play ranked is NOT the answer, Ranked is boring as hell, you are stuck playing the same map over and over and over and over..... No thank you.
Respawn needs to get their act together and take care of all the cheaters, smurfs, and lag issues.- @SILVERisSORRY But you want a mode that exclusively pits you against your equal. Ranked does this better than pubs.
Are you suggesting that pubs play exactly like ranked? You realize this produces equal outcomes right? You want equal outcomes?
@Axs5626Sxa5001
Ranked or PUBS, it doesn't matter, I've been playing since Season 1, with 2600 hours in the game.
75%-90% of the game, I am Ranked with players below my stats, so 10% to 25%, I only play with some equal Skill Ranged Players.Match Making isn't what's ruining this game either, it's the cheaters with Aimbots, Wallhacks, PSilent, modded controllers and strike packs.
Cross Play and Controllers on PC need to be removed, so we only play on the PC with PC players on keyboard and mouse!
Agreed, the cheating is off the scale.
My experience is that ranked is even worse. It's disgusting how impossible it is to play that mode, and not just because of smurfs, which you encounter basically every game, but also because of the completely mindless and careless people you end up with.
Apex is a game for skilled, non-casual players, full stop.

In general if you meet preds in pubs youre sweating too much in my experience. They been quicker sending you bad lobbies this season yes, and slower to lower your lobbies so there definitively has been a change.
They did change so you wont preserve your kd by quitting before youre fully killed anymore so more people dropped matchmaking lobbies this season too so matchmaking is a bit in flux atm because of one of the parameters used to make a balancing act been changed greatly, im betting several of 1+ kd players dropped to 0.6 this season hehe.
ranked is the same, preds and high level players wins while afk bots and dumb ppl plays letting you down while they push foward with no guns or low ammo guns whiel the other teams shoot from a safe distance seeing them coming from meters so being noobs sucks because the game developers cares nothing about players and only about money
@Axs5626Sxa5001 yeah that is not going to work either.
