@JeLezen I've seen a lot of the same. Rookie players in all tiers below Plat, when the restriction kicks in regarding team member rank. I would like to think that Rookie tier wouldn't be able to get thrown into matches with Plat+ players, but I feel like I've seen posts to the contrary. I could be mistaken though
It really sucks for the actual newbies. They shouldn't be getting thrown in with higher ranks. In my opinion, Rookie should only play against Rookie, since it's the only rank with no entry cost and is quite literally there for new players. I would not want to be playing against Gold players if I was just starting the game, myself. I'd be getting destroyed all the time, and likely wouldn't stick with the game. I died a lot when I first started playing when Apex came out, but the game was brand new, and it was a different beast back then.
Best thing to do is to 3-stack, but this can be hard to do for a lot of people, including myself
