This is coming from a perspective of a day one player. Over the last week I have seen this games matchmaking go completely down the drain. Every single lobby in pubs that I queue into has some 3 stack kill grinder or Pred squad as champions. There is no reason why i should ever see a catalyst with 88000 kills in my public games. This alone has made every single game this season and since Aug 1st completely filled with sweats and unfun.

The other problem Im now seeing is that since this change, lobbies die out so fast that by first ring closing there are (if your lucky 6 squads left) so if you do not hot drop, you have almost no chance of finding players to fight, and even when you do, your probably dead anyways to the no. 1 lifeline with 20k kills last season.

Finally let me address what i have been seeing people say. No this is not the “typical” start of season sweat lobbies, i have been playing since pre season and the lobbies have never been this bad. Two the people who say that “im mad because i finally go against people of my skill or better”. Even if that were true that doesnt mean that is better? Matches should be a mix, not non stop playing against the same players for hours that have 10k plus hours on apex 3 stacking pubs.

Respawn has given no statement on ANY of this but I know for sure that something has changed and I am sorry for those who are sharing a similar experience to me.
