Apparently he used a lot of cuss words in his post so they are all starred out.

I have installed Apex Legends yesterday after some break. Started random match in trios. My newbies team, of course, as always, hot dropped and died instantly. I uninstalled the game. We know this works like that for 80% of matches. Respawn knows this works like that for 80% of matches. Nothing changes.

That may be fair to you but my gold 2 self see's literally the same stuff. I'm ranked or casual. I can't catch a break.

I totally agree. It says something about Respawns disregard for fair competitive play and for their total focus on "player retention". I am TOTALLY fine with having a couple of preds, masters and some ten diamonds, spread out in different teams in pubs. I understand that logically, its almost impossible to have another casual matchmaking considering queue times etc. BUT to allow 2-premades or sometimes even 3-premades of Predators/master to play in the same lobby as teams of randoms of random skill is a farce from a competitive stand point . Why? Because that squad, unless they misplay something terrible, will steamroll EVERTHING and almost win for sure. Not only do they have the advantage of being a full squad of all probably among the top 5 best players in the lobby, they also have the huge advantage of being full premades! The few other master/preds in that lobby, i.e the few players that could challange them, are most likely spread out in different teams, teamed with two bad randoms and are therefore no threat.

I remember those turds sayin' they were preparing something for solo queue, back in season 4 or something like that.
Then we never heard of it anymore
Too scared that their * whales cries, as always with this kind of games that takes 10 years to repair all the issues and exploits, before that became "gameplay mechanics" for all those abusing whales

I'm convinced it is Engagement Based Matchmaking (EBMM) which basically works by treating it as an addiction it wants to encourage. Essentially, lower ranked/skilled players get fed to the wolves most of the time and then dropped into much lower skilled matches occasionally. "One more match" you say after you've been destroyed 5-6 matches in a row. Just when you are about to uninstall, miraculously you have your best game ever and say to yourself "See? I can do it!". The goal is to keep you playing, not necessarily have you feel like you are in evenly matched games consistently.
Respawn also doesn't really measure "skill" the way you would by watching people play. Level doesn't mean you are good necessarily, it just means you've played a lot. That applies to me . . . I feel like I absolutely suck at this game for the level I am. The game also assumes that pre-made squads or Trios squads with pre-made parties of 2 in them are automatically better. That is also an assumption and not always true.
Honestly, the SBMM is completely broken in this game. Couple that with how completely unforgiving the Apex brand of BR is, the steep skill curve & extremely high skill ceiling, plus cheating/smurfing and you get this mess.
As a below average player, I hate being matched up with Lvl 500 or Pred players as much as they hate having me in their squad. I'm with you, just from the other side of that coin.

These people don’t listen to any of the feedback here. It’s all for a false sense of security that our voices matter. Look at the facts, the major issues we’ve all complained about from the beginning haven’t been fixed. They don’t care about anything except making money. I get harassed every time I play this game, called racial and homophobic slurs, I report them and nothing happens. If you don’t have friends to play this game with it’s like choosing to have a bad time. This game solo is NOT FUN!

My rank is platinum 2 and whenever I play alone, my teammates become new low level players. My enemies have max level and diamond badge. I'm tired of constantly losing because of my teammates
It shouldn't be too hard to do this. I just want some decent teammates.
