I typically do not play with Discord open, but I'll try that next time I'm playing with Discord.
Cheers, keep us posted!
Announcement was posted yesterday and there's a litany of questions posted by the community. AMA has now been live for over 15 minutes and we've yet to see any responses. What's going on? u/RSPN_Thieamy
We book the two hour window with the team to answer questions, but with all comms they generally have to go through some checks before they can go live. Tis a good callout though and we can look at ways to make this tighter so answers can get out faster.
Is there any plans to deal with Smurfing. Feels like half the time I am killed by a level 40 with a 4k badge.
Not related to matchmaking, but we are looking to host an AMA for anti-cheat (smurfing incl) soon.
If the goal is to eliminate widely imbalanced lobbies then why are preds and masters allowed to Que into plat/diamond lobbies?
Regarding high elo matching, how about making only Solo Q possible from master and above?
now rank meta : pred has 50% hack boost,cheater and ano half jst kill all day(time bill gates can do grind) low elo plat dia
The team touched on Masters/Preds a bit here. Anti-cheat is a separate team, but we're looking at an AMA to cover these questions soon.
Why are preds not considered a separate rank in the matchmaking algorithm?
Read moreSo I’m sure you all invest a lot of time into it, but ranked matchmaking feels like a bit of a joke at the moment.
I understand that Preds/Masters will appear in Diamond lobbies, but having 8-12 of them in almost EVERY Diamond game when the queues are almost instant doesn’t make sense. I’ve been master the last 4 seasons and I promise I wouldn’t mind waiting a few more minutes for a more competitive lobby of majority master/preds. I’m willing to bet both Diamond and Master+ players would benefit from longer queues if it meant more competitive lobbies.
So my question essentially is will we see longer queues and stricter ranked matchmaking sooner rather than later?
Sidenote: has removing sbmm (or whatever iteration is used in Apex) from pubs ever been considered? Pubs tends to feel like diet ranked and I’m not sure the matchmaking is very beneficial for that mode considering how the games tend to play out.
Ranked and pubs shouldn’t feel as similar ...
I don't get why your in is such resistance for masters/pred only 3 stack lobbies? If it's queue times?
I do not care, it is not fun when solo queuing and you still end up against 3 stack sweats and master/pred teams!
Just curious what makes you guys think that someone with 40,000-80,000 rp more than me should be in the same lobby as me? Have you considered adding a rank between diamond/master to separate very poor players from top 5(ish)% players?
Read moreWhy don’t yall stop doing split ranked resets?
Seriously. You can see people asking why preds are ending up in DIAMOND lobbies.
It’s a simple solution. Quit with the frequent ranked resets. You literally are only hurting your casual players.
While not reset related, the team touched on what's happening with Masters/Preds a bit here.
Maybe cap it to Diamond 1. Once a person gets positive RP over D1...go sign into Apex Legends 2.0...Masters and Preds only.
If you and your friends go golfing on Saturday, should you be going up against PGA Masters? No. They have their own leagues to play in.
Why are masters and preds being reset to plat and plat is also reset to plat. Having such a wide band of players of varying skill levels absolutely reduces match quality.
And a semi-related question, why are current preds able to be lobbies with players who are in plat and even gold?
