EA, respawn please fix the broken matchmaking. Should be paired up with equal level players, equal skilled players, well at least somewhat in the ballpark.
I am an average player, typically in past seasons halfway through i get stuck in sweaty lobbies, but now this season it is chaperone lobbies from the start and have not stopped. I have played almost 200 rounds total this season. Not a super active user but i have been playing daily and have over 1300 hours in the game since it came out. Almost every round i am paired with two new players, on average level 20 and under. I know levels dont dictate skills but someone level 20 does not know how to play the game in the same way as someone who is over level 600 (would be way higher but maxed when highest lvl was 100 and same for when 500 and started back up season 24). They die and leave, they dont know how to res or how to craft. I am getting on average 3x-10x the damage, dropping....... often my damage is more than double both players. I am not trying to say anything bad about new players, or anything about my skill, i am average, just this is not skill based matchmaking.
Today i played a few rounds around lunch, couple more mid afternoon and a few more later. I got killed by the same streamer over 3 times in 3 different lobbies.
To me it seems that the average player base that has been here a while is being sacrificed, pairing up higher level players with low entry level players and making the higher level player chaperone and carry, and if not you get killed by a TTV or pro ALGS team. It attracts the new players but at the same time really taking the joy out of the game for a average long time player like myself. So the streamers keep eyes on the game and get the best lobbies, keeps attention on the game while a Apex Legends 2 gets put together. Now the player base like me is going to slowly leave. Then when the new Apex come along, the streamers stuck around, the new players kept coming, and the old players will come back to try and see if it is better.
My win rate has dropped so much this season but my K/d ratio is higher, and my average damage is higher but yet way way less wins. These lobbies are also filled with bots, so you got bots that cant play mixed in with great players. So it makes it appear i am better this season but win rate is so low and games do not feel competitive or fun. I would happily take the sweaty lobbies with sweaty teammates over and over than this chaperone stuff!!!
I dont have friends that play this game anymore and i only play a game or two at a time so i solo queue. Every single round the player lobby is stretched from end to end covering almost the entire player base and then each time no matter the lobby, my team is the worst team. Something fishy is up. Been playing a long time as i said and game is no longer enjoyable.
PLEASE FIX MATCHMAKING

Matchmaking broken, more broken than ever!
