I thought maybe there'd been a subtle change but no, they're still doing it....
If I solo queue and get put with two other solo queuer's I don't want to face duo's or trio's. The fact that I can tune into the stream of the duo squad who killed me is ridiculous.
Apex is no longer a game that you can play on your own....there's no way this game is still the multiplayer game of the year with the way it treats it's players.

They need to stop putting plat 4's against Apex Preds. Makes no sense

I think you mean Diamond IV, but yup I completely agree.
After giving up on casual 'cos of SBMM, I had a quick go in ranked to see if it was any better.
NoPE!
1st match; champion squad was a pre-made with Predator rank #193, #284, and #470.
They predictably won after killing almost half the server.
If matchmaking is working as intended, why on Earth are top-tier 3-man predator squads being matched against scrub-tier solo & duo Diamond IVs?!?!
The flawed states of both casual matchmaking, and the ranked tier system are almost completely overshadowing the promises of Season 4.
Either play to your maximum ability, with pre-made squads of equally skilled players, or don't play at all; Apex offers nothing inbetween.
It's a MASSIVE problem, and incredibly frustrating for all who fell in love with Apex through Seasons 1 & 2.

Easy fix: SOLO mode.

"skill-based matchmaking has existed in Apex since launch and we’ll be continuing to improve it over time."
And yet you're STILL putting solo queue players up against three stacks. If anything shows a total lack of comprehension about the problems in Apex's matchmaking it's this, and yet you continue to do it.
The SBMM is worse now that it was before this new season, and coupled to that solo players have to contend with playing against full premades.
Is it any wonder that the player base gets upset and feels driven to post angry messages? They WANT to enjoy the game but the current matchmaking is broken.

Please fix your game.Trios with clan tags are still being put up against solo queue players.
If you want to kill the experience for solo players, go right ahead. But I would bet against the longevity of Apex if you're solely relying on premade teams. You're driving people away, and the people you're driving away are the one's propping Apex up.
Playing as a trio should not be mandatory if trio squads are the only option.

At this point Respawn obviously don't care about anyone but full teams. Solo players are still put up against full premades...see picture...just got annihilated by a full premade.
Thanks Respawn for not giving a crap about balance.
Furthermore, what's the point of anyone giving feedback? There's never any transparency or communication despite the fact that people are employed to provide this function. Unless you're a twitch streamer with a check mark or a Pro player there's no meaningful way to voice concerns and be heard.

they need to change the way ranked works in general. there shouldn't be a cap on kills/assists. survival doesn't make a player the best. You shouldn't be punished for getting more then 5 kills. the way they have ranked setup is ridiculous. get 5 kills or 5 assists then run and hide for placement.
