I don’t mind about the players in the lobby I think you should be teamed with people of your level/skill level, I’m almost level 200 and have been paired with level 1-20’s more often than not recently, it’s rare to be paired anyone max level anymore and it’s annoying having to babysit low level players (no offence to anyone)

For now solo matchmaking more or less Ok for below 50 lvl. But when we play with friends we have no chance to even kill some one. My friends more or less same skill level. We have not more then 100 kills in sum for our squad but players around us 2000 - 3000 kills each!!! It's very frustrating... We will wait for changes in matchmaking system for friends till next big update after E3 and will quit if no changes will be made. We want to play together with same skill level players!

We feel exactly the same.if you join with randoms the matchmaking is fair and enjoyable to play.as soon as I join with 2 friends it's a much different game.we get killed as soon as we encounter someone as they mostly have 500+ kills and alot higher level and you just get headshoted before you even know what has just happened.last night we saw the previous champion had 10,000 kills how can we compete with that!we play ps4 and haven't played any fps games on console before so we need to learn against a similar skill level as ourselves. We will uninstall if season 2 does not offer a change to this.

How about very fair, like group people together based on average damage per match?

Hi,
1. I am a bad player and will remain a bad player. Anyway, I am happy to go on playing even if I have no skill.
2. Even when you are bad, your level increases even if you don't make a lot of frags. I have reached level 50 even if my rate of frags per game is probably one of the worst in the videogames' history.
3. Since a few days, the average level of my opponents has increased. Is it because I reached Level 50 ? Maybe. Most of the time now, I get killed in the two first minutes without any chance. It's boring for the unlucky ones that become my teammates and it's boring for me because I have no chance reaching the final rounds as I did in my first games.
For the matchmaking, I would suggest an easy system that has nothing to do with the player's level :
A. If player has less than 10 games ==> group 1
B. For players who have more than 10 games, create a ranking based on the rate (No. of frags / No of games played) and base the matchmaking on this easy rate.
PS : sorry for my bad english but I really wanted to share my frustration about the matchmaking.

I've joined the "party" pretty late, as I started playing only some two weeks ago (tho I did watch some streamers before that).
My initial games were somewhat fun. Obviously I did absolutely terribly the first few tries, but then things started to pick up. I felt I did well, compared to my enemies. Win some, lose some, it was decent, it was fun.
This Monday I hit lvl 20 (or something around that ballpark) and it's like the fun was sucked out of the game with a snap. Every enemy has 100s of kills (if not 1000s) on their character, crazy banners... while I MAYBE have 40 on all of my characters combined? Heck, enemy banners didn't even show the level any more...
This isn't fun: most of Monday I spent looking at the character select screen and the launch animation.
This isn't fair: the skill gap at this point is too wide for me to learn anything from this experience (especially given that Apex has a bit of a luck factor to it as well). Heck, even if I get two experienced teammates, I have a feeling they might not want to even bother picking my banner up, as I'm basically dead weight at worst or a distraction at best.
I'm not starved of electronic entertainment. If I'm not having fun (and this is WHY I'm playing video games when I get home from work, after all), I'll play something else. If more people do this, then I can't see anything other than Apex bleeding players until the dedicated hardcore ones remain... oh, and probably cheaters. Fun for them, to be sure, not so much for anyone else.

I completly agree I think its no fun for me or any other beginner players because we simply get to play vs god tier players
