I have 1000 kills over all and have been playing this game since launch. So I am by no means a sweat or great player, additionally my KD is a dismal 1.25 so why am I getting stomped on every match no matter what I do or where I drop? I have had 2 weeks in a row since the Duos update where I am constantly dying to insanely good players. I can count on one hand how many times I have been killed in the last 14 DAYS by someone with under 1000 kills on whatever character that killed me! Can anyone tell me how to get lobbies with people of my "lower" caliber? Additionally, muzzle flash and my graphics have taken a sharp dive down since the duos update. Also, has anyone else experienced the lagginess I'm experiencing after the duos update? I love Apex but I have to stop playing because I'm getting to emotionally invested from this many matches in a row getting ground into paste by duo squads that have minimum 10,000 kills between them. And to top it off I have had less than 6 random teammates with over 1000 kills on their chosen character since Duos came out.
To sum it all up
1. I have an okay but by no means great account/KD
2. everyone I fight is a 5000 + kill Pathfinder/wraith player
3. Can't even shoot these inhumanly good players due to muzzle flash and lag
4. Cant get matched with a teammate that is of the sweaty caliber of literally anyone else in the lobby except for our team
Can someone please tell me WHY?
And if your even of greater intelligence, what can I do to play with player of my skill?
If you want proof of my stats and horrible matches my xbox 1 stats can be found at Dreamteam.gg my account name is watts3275 on xbox 1

Well, for starters most of those guys probably aren't playing with randoms, they are playing with their friends of equal skill using Microphones often.
So that's probably the number 1 reason you get matched with bad players, because the crazy players tend to have played enough to have met other good players that they team up with instead of playing with randoms.
I'm a "casual" diamond player myself.
For me it's the 40 000+ kills players that smoke me lol 😂
Also, Duos I think is filled with tryhards right now probably.
It was when it was first released anyway.
Casuals are playing normal unranked. Tryhards are either playing duos (because they only have one other friend lol)
or they are playing diamond/pred ranked right.
So yeah... that solves the mystery I think no?
Play normal dubs, invite good players when you meet them, teamup, get good team synergy etc. problem solved.
Game is still going to mix you in with the psychos tho.
No way around it.
But at least that always makes it worth trying to improve and learn and that's part of the... fun... right?
