"Ranked is the worst it's ever been": Apex Legends players are concerned with competitive matchmaking in the current season

sportskeeda.com:

Matchmaking, a burning issue with Apex Legends, has received major flak in recent times. In short, players have been extremely unhappy with how the ranks have been mixed. This has resulted in lopsided matches, as teams have been unbalanced. A player whose team got put in a lobby with professional players showed the exact outcome of this.

Apex Legends is an active squad-based game where coordination and strategy can make all the difference. However, there is a natural skill gap between players.

While some can get lucky as a result, it can be equally frustrating for others not as skilled in the game. Many players discussed the importance of balanced matchmaking and how frustrating the current season has been for all.

The original post was made by Reddit user u/QuadrunOG, who shared a clip of how imbalanced the matchmaking has been. The Champion Squad was shown at the start of the match, and it clearly showed the mismatch as one of the players in that squad seemed to have a higher skill level.

Others reacted to the issue, agreeing that matchmaking has become a problem for the majority of users. It has often been stated that a more curtailed matchmaking will result in longer queue times. However, one player is ready to wait if it means getting fairer matches in the game.

Another player feels that Respawn has made a massive mistake by making rank-ups feel like a chore. Most players are situated in similar tiers and end up getting matched together.

It seems that the existing time it takes for matchmaking in Apex Legends isn't that long as it cannot be adjusted.

The post owner added a comment that Respawn needs to find a balance. They have shifted from a system that was deemed too easy to one which has become a nightmare for most
