Matchmaking list take forever 10- 20 mins

Trying out Apex Legends.  Matchmaking takes forever, not good for me since I am a noob and die in less than a minute.  Getting close to uninstalling this game, so far a thumbs down experience.

I am on PC In Maharashtra and I am having the same issue, my match making server is Bahrain 1  

Hi, I'm a PC player from Thailand.

Me and my friend who tried to do duo matchmaking is encountering the same problem. We tried both Singapore 1 server (lowest ping for us) and New York server (presumably highest population) and we got like 5-6 people in queue forever.

This is so disappointing as this game is popular among streamers and such right now, but when we, new players, try to play it, the game can't put us in any matches with anyone and make us sit there and do nothing for about half an hour.


EDIT: So I read from people's replies and it seems that the cause of the problem is that the matchmaking is separating new players and high level players from mid level player.

So then please tell me, if it's impossible to play the game as a new player, then how are we supposed to become a mid-level player ? We can't gain level by NOT playing the game.

same this game is just a fail for me

Stuck on 1-5 players in queue.

Been like this for +30 minutes.

My Season lvl is 5.

im on pc and my server is north Carolina and i live in florida and im having this problem  

I'm from barbados  i'm playing on new york right now the only server that work is london and the ping is to high for me to enjoy

Just created new apex account and it's ridiculous - first few matches the matchmaking took around 5min and now 10 ! What is going on? Is the game dying?

Hello, My Que time has been takin forever as well.. I have tried multiple servers. I have watched 3 youtube videos, found this post figured my username and password out and typed all of this before finding my first game. I am in Utah, and I play on PC,
