Matchmaking worse since update

[Syntheticat24]

Is it just me, or did the game place us all in pred lobbies after the new update?

I can't play without dying to a three stack of TTVs or "TTOK" clan tags. 😭🙏

[Syntheticat24]

I'm starting to think it may also be rank related, since it's also been happening ever since I hit Plat, even though when I didn't touch rank, everyone was equal skill

PLAT is unwinnable now in terms of the amount of sweating. I feel like every PRED and Master rank is stuck there lol.

All the casual players are leaving so the queue is filled with players who devote their lives to this one game. Apex is 6 years old it's time to grow up and move on.

I played from beta- season 8 and was banned for having a innapropriate name "pillz4kids" and EA also has always had terrible ability of balancing games and even worse customer service (both unexistent). Move on exactly master's in OW and rivals while being casual plating like maybe 5 matches on the odd weekend

I tried leaving several times, but I generally like Apex when it comes to FPS games, but I get punished for it due to how bad the matchmaking itself is.

That is the reason I always end up leaving.

The matchmaking is unplayable.

I noticed a heavy uptick in cheaters today. like multiple full teams cheating in diamond/pred lobbies

It's because this split has no full rank reset.
So if you hit your plateau you continue on playing the same type of players over and over.
Either:
- 3 stack.
- Accept you hit your rank.
- Try to get better.

Regardless, yes cheaters also ruin the experience.

They are the experience brother. So many people cheating to fulfill their massive egos. DMA cheats are fully undetected 😂

your question is quite simple to answer, is because all ranks got reset, not all people play in the start of the season, you need to wait few weeks until most people is in their ranks, usually 3 weeks

I'm talking about pubs games getting more difficult after I hit Plat, which was the day before this update.

[@theweedfather]

I usually have to wait several minutes per pubs match to get put into pred lobbies every time

[Mino]

same and im really bad at the game i cant even get a kill anymore lol

[Syntheticat24]

It's gotten so bad since the update that my KD has dropped for this season by 0.3 within the 5 days, and my queue times are only getting longer just for me to be put against a pred with over a million kills, or several.

I'm convinced they broke the matchmaking to put everyone into pred lobbies, since everyone I know is playing ranked, and is staying clear of pubs.
