its never been this bad for me. I used to see a bunch of diamonds and maybe a masters here and there, but this patch has been 20+ masters in all my ranked lobbies with diamonds 35+ and some predators and then there is me a platinum player with a couple randoms. The weirdest thing i saw was someone ranked higher than me queueing at the same time on twitch but getting lower level lobbies than me. I should never see more than 1-2 masters in a game and a lot less diamonds.

Ah, they still feed the high ranked players.
If you want to kill your game why not shutting down the servers right now ? Why do Respawn want to kill this game so slowly?
Maybe they could ask DICE to help out. Just a suggestion....

The game became completely unplayable for me.
I don't even try to play Ranked anymore, as I don't have a team, and for solo queuers the new system is extremely punishing.
I can't play pubs anymore. I take screenshots every time I die, and I swear, 7 of 10 times my killers are Masters with 20 kills badges and 4k damage badges. Half the time they're teamed up with their buddies (having the same clan tag), all Masters of course. I join a pubs game only to loot to eventually die in a split second, without being able to do anything. Again, and again, and again. Every day, no matter what time I try to play, afternoon, evening, at night.
Now that the Control is back, I tried playing that, and what do you know, a lot of the time there are teamed up Masters again, absolute annihilating you on sight.
I don't learn this way, I can't become better. No matter how good I can become in the coming weeks or months I can't win with a team of people of about level 100-200 against a triple masters team that has good comms.
It feels like I want to causally play let's say football on the local sports grounds. I come out, and there's Ronaldo and Messi, teamed up and completely annihilating everyone, not allowing them to even touch the ball, and winning 100-0.
I used to enjoy the game very much. Now I honestly give up, and will take a break until next season. I will try just watching Apex gameplay on youtube, even though even youtube videos now just give me anxiety and make me feel like crap.

Ranked matchmaking is terrible, the worst its ever been.
1st game: No teammates
2nd game: Teammates threw the match, getting us all killed (both were bronze)
3rd game: Teammates were both silver, and were at least able to shoot, ended up winning
4th game: bot teammates (both were rookie)
5th game: a duo team that seems to not care about their 3rd (both were rookie)
6th game: more bot teammates (both were rookie)
I'm in Silver III, which in the current S13 system, I managed to reach Gold IV within the first half of the season. Why am I getting ROOKIE teammates in silver/gold matches? It makes ZERO sense. Half of them are litteral bots, or someone with zero game awareness or skill. One shot at me like I was an enemy when I took out a cargobot, and they watched me shoot it down out of the sky. That's how clueless they are.
Edited: I got 2 of the same teammates 4 times in a row, and both of these teammates are noobs in a rank match, so when we get into a fight, we all just instantly die, so seriously EA/Respawn please fix the matchmaking and don't pair the same players up over and over again unless they choose to be in the same party. Its very annoying losing points because matchmaking wants to kick me in the shin with random teammates.

I'm a low skill player, as I play casually and dont care for skill anymore. I just want to play for half an hour every now and then. This game had the potential to be really really really good.
But I get thrown into matches with ppl who have 15000+ kills in this game. Level 500. Its pointless for both. And no one at EA seems to give a fook - surprise (not).

i feel like casual players need a lobby of there own.
alot of us have 9 to 5 jobs and cant spend our lives on a game.
most of us want to kick back crack a beer and enjoy ourselves, not get lasered by some sweat that is tap straphing.
anymore thats all i see and i cant even follow them on a 2 to 3 sensitivity level.
i die before i even realize what happens.

I'm a rookie right now due to me not having played competitively in like 7-8 seasons, I'm in Rookie IV tell me why I have a full team of predators hunting me like I'm a deer in headlights. I have had level 23s down me in less than a second because they're tap strafing and it feels like they're running like Octane as a mfin LIFELINE. Matchmaking in pubs and comp are both completely broken. I feel your pain dude and it just sucks. But because it's keeping the pros happy, it's never going to ever get fixed
