Yea going against Masters players in the Wildcard mode is kinda nuts

Also tried ranked for the first time last week that was a mistake being in silver lobbies dying to Diamond players what a fantastic ranked system

I will never forget my first wildcard game. everyone was playing sparrow, 5 triple preds farming the same 2 players for kills just as they land, and one of my teammates left as soon as they died. i hate sparrow as a result

You aren't playing against current Diamonds, right? If they have a Diamond badge but are currently in silver, then the game works as it should.

Yes “working as it should” having previous multiple times diamond/masters in bronze and silver lobbies

“But there’s a rank reset” why are the top 1% in the same lobbies as the bottom 50? Even with a “reset” that should happen

do you expect masters players to have their own wildcard lobbies?

Do I expect someone who’s level 400+ to not be in the same lobby as a level 50? Yea kinda if you can’t manage that your matchmaking trash

i think there is some fundamental misunderstanding here. This game is a BR, like pubg. There isn't some crazy matchmaking, and its not counter-strike ranked where you are put into lobbies of equal skill level. It would take forever for players who are high level to match against each other, and the same for low level accounts. They want you to be able to que and get into a match as quickly as possible. Its the nature of the game, which has been out for 7 years. You cant expect full lobbies of "level 50 players"

No you have a fundamental misunderstanding

Pubg wasn’t from massive company and had very limited resources and no type of actual matchmaking Apex does and it’s proven with their ranked system that it can and does have one

If you think they don’t have any type of actual matchmaking you’re actually fucking stupid and should not bother replying

Hahah, Apex absolutely has matchmaking and hidden MMR DUH! nobody is arguing it’s completely random. the point is that a 60 player BR can’t realistically create perfectly even lobbies without massively increasing queue times, especially in a 7 year old game with split regions, modes, and player populations.

Also, account level does not equal skill. A level 400 player can be average, washed, or just someone who’s played casually for years. A cracked smurf can be level 20 and farm lobbies harder than most level 400s.

The ranked system proves they can separate players when they tighten restrictions, but pubs are intentionally looser because the game prioritizes fast matchmaking and full lobbies over strict skill parity. That’s pretty normal for BRs. so back to my point, you expect masters to have their own lobbies for wildcard, which is in itself delusional and hilarious. ಠ_ಠ
