@Cheese9Man Lol you were faster than me posting this.

I like the in-depth look and analysis, it gives you a better idea of what's going on. Some things said though do not match with what i've experienced in Apex until today and i disagree with some other choices they've made this far.

For example, a Platinum player can be in a Predators lobby if he's having a win streak? Is that correct?

@Cheese9Man Pretty in-depth! I'll definitely be reading through this, after work. I'm curious to read more about the system

@Cheese9Man 

thanks for the share.

Gotta be honest haven’t read it yet since I’m playing now with the boys to get ready for the ranked split.

@Cheese9Man It is really well written and pretty much confirms my experience with the game.

@Cro_Pittt I read the ranked comment that way, which I think is a bad change. The reason it happens now is speed of MM is too high a priority for the preds.

What i’m taking away from the article is that cradling lower skilled players to the detriment of higher skilled players is all that presently matters if not in a premade.

Also, no concrete dates have been mentioned other than “early 2023” which means nothing when so many broken promises seems to be a reoccurrence with Respawn.

@Gabrielmojo26 They are going to try and seperate the lower skilled more. The charts were pretty clear. A low kd, low win rate player was being put with anyone decent. They may have better chances now to have fun.

Higher tiers may get sweatier as a result but you will get better teammates, like I found in season 13.

@Cro_PitttThat’s also how i’m reading it, which means if I perform well, i’ll be matched against preds, all the while having two ball in chain teammates.

How did they think this would be a winning formula is beyond me, maybe because they assume everyone would play as a premade? 

Give me solos pls 🤣
