@HopesKunaiBut what about when you can get a "reliable team". And your stuck playing with randoms every match. Im bored of being teamed with players so im stuck carrying while they watch me die or run in other direction to then be killed by another squad. Or the ones who join a game pick a character that either me or the final member want to play so were stuck with characters we dont want to play as. Then turn off the game so we dont get the forgivness thing and were starting with a disadvantage along with a legend were not used to playing

Again, my argument is against 20 minutes queues, not about team quality.

That's already the solution. If you cannot find a reliable team you can play solo queue in Ranked, or Casual. Matchmaking provides you with the best option available at the given time, if you dislike that, then look for a group. You nit-picking about my last sentence does not do much for the conversation, does it? Again, I am against 20 minutes wait.
By the way, this would be the last reply to you if you keep trying to go for tangential issues --what are commonly referred to as technicalities.
You can find groups here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApexLFG/
Or through the specific options consoles offer.

just saying, if you can't wait 20 minutes, then why are you playing the game? because regardless you're going to get long queues, even longer at certain times. Plus a game takes about 15-20 minutes from start to finish.

and btw, no the matchmaking does NOT give you the best possible team, what so ever, don't even try with that crap. The matchmaking puts you with a random team of people who are in the queue, nothing to do with "the best option available at the given time"

Here, go through this
If you have any comments against it, post on reddit, contact the admins etc.
I prefer having short queue times. 20 minutes is a nono.

For convenience.
PLAYING WITH FRIENDS
Ranked Leagues will require each player to be level 10 or higher to join. When you queue up with other friends in your lobby, the matchmaker will find a match for the highest ranked player in that lobby, but each player will pay the appropriate match cost for their current rank. This is intended to not let high-ranked players completely carry their lower-ranked friends. If you queue up with your Diamond II friend as a Bronze III player, get ready for a difficult match!
MATCHMAKING UPDATES
We’ll be watching matchmaking data constantly and making updates on the fly. This should help us answer questions like how long players should wait for a match with only players in their own tier, how large the gap between ranks represented in a match should be, etc. We will be providing updates as and when this happens through our usual communication channels (Reddit / Twitter).
That’s what we have planned for the first Series of Apex Legends Ranked Leagues. As with everything else in Apex, expect us to learn as we go and make changes to the system over time. We’re sure to learn a bunch as you all start climbing the ladder. As always, hit us up on the usual channels to ask questions or give feedback. See you in the arena!
Anyway, read it, and you can find probably more answers to your questions.

The question is, have you ever played ranked above bronze/silver? because if you have you'd know that this is completely and utterly not true;
"so matchmaking in Ranked Leagues is focused on putting players of similar skill in the same match."
If you believe that this is true then there is no helping you.
they even said;
"You won’t always be playing against players of your exact tier (Silver players may compete with Gold players, for instance) but it will be as close as possible for your region and time of day."
End of story
Matchmaking isn't about "rank" or "skill" it just throws you in with anyone who is queued up. Legit last game had silvers on my team and im gold II but the champions are plat and diamond because gold gets matched with plats, plats get matched with diamonds.
