He was also signed to red bull gaming within the last few weeks. I recall a promo tweet with iItzTimmy. They're not a proper esports org like TSM/OpTic but sort of sign big people like that while they're with other orgs.

I waited until (past) the end of the season to reply to this since I was thinking that maybe there's something that I'd missed, but I'm really not seeing how ranked matchmaking has gotten better since the switch back.I've been playing again for season 20 and the game is a lot of fun again.
They've fixed the matchmaking both in ranked and unranked. Ranked is actually based on your rank now, rather than an invisible MMR. So the tens of thousands of people who had a free ride to masters across the last 6 or so seasons are going to be having a very tough time this season.
In pubs, they factor in the skill of your team mates now, not just the highest ranked player. So I can play with any group of friends and it generally feels fair. Previously it felt like I was just pulling my friends into very miserable games, and it was actively difficult to get a squad together that was good enough for my pubs lobbys. I think that's an absurd problem to have.
It's kind of surreal that they let these problems just fester for 6-10 seasons. The matchmaking in either pubs or ranked has been poor for a very, very long time.
revenant is insufferable during his ult fuck man what a frustrating character to fight against
between his tactical being a free escape and the 75 extra health he's just annoying especially end game when he has red armorAnd he can silently wall run up to you anywhere too…..He's OP AF
Ranked just a miserable slog this season honestly. It's mostly because of the maps too. KC is just like playing in a sardine can in ranked. If you manage to survive one fight you won't be alive for very long after.
This is where I get fed up with Respawn. Why they still dont have an LTM playlist is just so dumb to me. I guess I need to start playing control - which I did enjoy the last time I played it.

KC is a great pub map but an awful ranked map. Not nearly enough real estate
You genuinely cannot rank up as a Solo Q'er if KC is in the rotation. Especially as you move to Gold and beyond.
The only way to do well on that map is to be EXTREMELY selective about which fights you want to take based on where you are on the map. And sometimes even that is not enough. Throw in randoms who W key every gunshot they hear... you are not gaining any RP.
Respawn needs to implement some Open AI algorithms into their ranked scoring. Make the whole thing dynamic. There has to be a way for the system to know that a master level player is smurfing and has no business being in Silver 2. Just push them through the system immediately and have them hop right up to diamond.
whewwww
after 350 games of solos basically i got my 20bomb and 4k on horizon 🥹
now i can just try to get it on wraith/alter next for fun
damn bruh that shit was hard to get
why bc it's easier than a regular 20?I got it in 1 game by using a secret (?) method lol. I don't even care anymore. Ain't going to waste 300+ games getting a badge I don't even deserve lol
why bc it's easier than a regular 20?
it did take me long i guess but i was only rly locked in the last two days aiming for 20 , i just wanted to finish the solo challenges and my friends dont rly play apex anymore so im stuck playing solos over trios anyways lol
i think we added eachother but i go periods of not playing or we aren't on ag the same time bc i don't rly see u on
Seasons 18 and 19 worked like that too. It was an increase in entry fee and a decrease in payout that dropped Masters from 35% to 1% between seasons 17-18, not a change in how matchmaking worked.They had such a system, but the last implementation resulted in a parallel track. If you were a good player you got put in Diamond level lobbies in Bronze, and had a real grind to points.
If you were bad, you would keep facing only bad opponents until you hit diamond. And even then you could grind out more points.
That was the season like 50% reached master.
Fundamentally, as long as people play ranked for the wrong reasons of making imaginary points go up for a shiny badge that nobody really cares about, there's no solution. Ranking never being reset would improve matchmaking quality hypothetically if it wouldn't come with the consequence of nobody playing it.Respawn needs to implement some Open AI algorithms into their ranked scoring.

I think everyone should start the game with a P2020 (and take the gun out of ground loot). Make those hot drops a little more dangerous as everyone will have a way to defend themselves before finding a good gun.
Encounter a lot of people teaming in solos today. An abnormal amount compared to other modes. I guess because it's an easier way to farm badges and whatnot.
In principle it sounds like a good idea but actually it creates more problems. If everyone starts with a P2020 it becomes much more easy to just land on someone and kill them instantly.
Especially if you're coordinating with your team, or yourself very highly skilled.
Like I'm usually master and my KDR is 4.5 or so, if I land with a P2020 on someone who's platinum or with a much lower KDR, then they die even if they manage to pick up a better weapon on the ground. The chances are they'll take damage trying to do that particularly because the weapon needs to 'ready' and they'll be dead. If they try and fight with the P2020, they'll die anyway.
Landing with weapons of any type would just hurt the game.
Yeah, I just think about predator trail chasing/3-stacks dropping on a splintered teammate and how massively worse that would be if people drop with guns from the start.I dont think I would be opposed to the idea of dropping with those 2 guns (even if its just to clean up the loot pool) but I can see why you would not want to do that.
I think even from outside of skill and fairness, landing with a P2020/Mozam would remove that rush you get when you land on a bin and find a Mastiff while your opponent is running around with his bare fists. Its kinda what makes BR and Hot drops what they are. That burst of adrenaline when you land and the roulette wheel stops on your bet is kinda worth having.

And they're always the morons that push stupid fights and die instantly.why do i keep getting stupid teammates that repeatedly ping the enemy when they are knocked? do you think the 28th time really helps? i don't understand people sometimes.
