Hi!

I have an issue with your anked system. I have the Rookie rank but I am being matched up with Masters and Diamond players, this hardly seems fair. What is going on? Someone needs to look into this.

I wouldn't even bother playing it tbh. All you will be paired up with are people who have no brain or bronze players in masters lobbies

This game just dead, matchmaking not working bro. For solo players and new people this game no longer exists. If you have strong nerves, you will constantly lose to 3stack teams and masters/preds.

 

Last 6 months on screenshot.

 

This is the result of the lack of specific actions in terms of cheaters. Instead of less and less, there are more and more of them. No fighting with software like Cronus etc.

 

Lots of stupid changes in legends - first they boost the legend for one season, and then I nerf it so that it currently has, for example, 0.3% pickrate (Caustic).

 

Additionally, there are always the same events aimed at receiving as much money as possible from players.

 

No new heirlooms for individual characters.

 

You can go on and on, but season 22 is one of the worst I've ever played and you can see from the online numbers that they're not getting people back at all, on the contrary. Standard smile

@whatever77777777If you are new I highly advise against getting involved with this game at this point until the company fixes it without reading the other threads first. It is near impossible to deal damage there are so many issues with hit reg. The game is currently dominated by players that can one shot you or take only 3 shots to kill you on a good day. The matchmaking system is not skill based. I have a very low kdr right now due to all the issues and have never reached higher than like the 5th level in ranked, yet they have put me in matches with or against champion players like ItzTimmy, Faide, and Scrappy.

 

The lag causes fights to slow to a halt at times due to the more memory intensive updates, and its normal to have the game crash about 5 times in an hour. It's not that I don't like the game, it was my favorite game in fact up until the recent problems started. Make sure you read the other threads first so you can make an informed decision, advancing in this game takes many hours of practice and play to get better, just know what you are getting into before investing your time and money.

The game has a steep learning curve and the Matchmaking is also tough on new players.

I hope you are having fun.

 

As far as your Rank and the others I think you may not be seeing things correctly since you are a bit new.

 

If you look at their rank it should be close to yours. It should just be blow them when the screen shows your team, same for the Champion sqd just before the match starts. 

If you are looking at the other players badges (Just to the left of the legend pic) (and not their current rank) then you are looking at badges from other seasons where they ranked up to masters and Pred etc. 

 

I hope this answered your question. 

 

If you have any others reply via this thread.

No, the game does not match "rookie" players with other "rookie" players. It does one of two things and I'm not sure which one it is yet. Thing one: it matches based on a hidden mmr that reflects your actual skill rather than the rank tier you happen to be in while climbing the ladder. Or thing two: the matchmaking is genuinely so close to random as makes no difference. During my brief run in ranked early in the season I was obviously in the rookie tier but the lobbies were consistently (yes, I'm guessing here, but it's an educated guess) high gold to low platinum. So was Apex telling me that after 22 seasons it knows that I'm a gold/platinum player even though I've never played ranked beyond rookie in any season... or was it telling me that it can't be bothered to find similarly skilled players and will just quickly assemble matches of whoever is available, with the greatest number of available players being from the peak of the bell curve, which is to say low platinum?

We'll get closer to an answer when we know whether you are completely new to the game or have played many seasons prior to this one. I know you've started in Rookie, but every single master and predator starts in rookie, so that really doesn't tell us much.
