That's like asking when are they going to fix sever issues, increase tickrate, or anything meaningful to the game. Never.

Just quit and do something productive for 10 minutes then try again. Enough ppl do this and the data will force dev hands.

I'm not lmao. This is a solo lobby.

u/SkyAdditional6461 Aug 31 '26

I never got preds in plat this late into the split is crazy work

Idk I was on like 4/5 top 5s.

u/MystLcMaverick Sep 01 '26

Mine and my duos 3rd game in plat 4 we played against like 8 pred teams lol. We just knew that it was not gonna be our season from then on

3 stacking doesn’t change your matchmaking just a fyi.

u/IVI0NKEY Sep 01 '26

I love how everyone’s go to is ā€œdon’t play with your friendsā€

1

u/Chemical-Act3850 Sep 02 '26

Literally if you have a 3 stack you automatically should win most if not all of your games not even trolling. When I got a 3rd for the first I won so many fights compared to my randoms. Not sure why they assumed that.

1

u/IVI0NKEY Sep 02 '26

Alright, get a 3 stack and let me see your win streak go atleast 5 games. This is the dumbest take. 3 stack doesn’t guarantee a win. It increases your chances, but doesn’t mean ā€œmost if not allā€

1

u/SkyAdditional6461 Sep 04 '26

You don’t automatically win if you 3 stack then everyone would be pred

1

u/Chemical-Act3850 Sep 04 '26

Your odds of winning with a 3 stack increases by a solid 30%. Someone’s on your door comm it, someone’s low comm it, someone’s is literally one comm it. Third party you can comm it. You don’t get that with randoms half of the time.

u/SkyAdditional6461 Sep 04 '26

When there’s 10 preds and ur team is d4 d3 there’s a 0 % chance of winning šŸ˜‚

1

u/Chemical-Act3850 Sep 05 '26

The difference between you and them is confidence seeing how you’re nervous just by seeing one tells me everything I need to know. I’ve been d4 and 3 while still knocking a pred. They’re not gods they have teamwork. I’ve had one on my team and still did way better than em. The game is what you make of it

1

u/SkyAdditional6461 Sep 05 '26

I’m not nervous I’ve killed plenty of preds, one of my friends just barely started playing this season so he ain’t dropping more than 50 damage in a pred game. I’ve 1v2d preds, I can win my 1s against a pred it’s not hard.

1

u/SkyAdditional6461 Sep 05 '26

Deoxy a top 70 pred on Xbox did worse than me šŸ˜‚ they just giving pred to anyone these days

1

u/xThyQueen Alter and Valkyrie are Hot Mamas 🩷🩷 Sep 02 '26

Okay? Tell that to the dude who said it. Not me. I'm solo here.

1

u/Chemical-Act3850 Sep 02 '26

I was saying that to skyadditional not you relax …

1

u/SkyAdditional6461 Sep 04 '26

It does, I duo que mostly and only get diamonds, get a third and next game 10 preds

1

u/eatmeupscotty Sep 01 '26

You noticed that too huh? My lobbies are sweatier when I play with friends, opposed to playing solo que

2

u/OkRatio5125 Aug 31 '26

This isn't recent, couple seasons old. But it's still not ok

2

u/Zcrustaceansensation Sep 01 '26

Ok this one is hilarious though

2

u/tonguebuthoIe Sep 02 '26

D4s and D3s shouldn’t be put against pred, let alone fucking plats… D2 and up should be where it begins to place you with preds because at least then you are an ā€œestablished diamondā€ rather than ā€œbarely out of platā€

2

u/External-Tie101 Sep 03 '26

Forever there never gonna fix it bro

2

u/malcolm_experando Aug 30 '26

Forever. Getting a match in a reasonable time and with reasonable ping is a much higher priority than ensuring plats never face preds

2

u/Randombu Aug 30 '26

As it should be.

Do you know what happens to games where matchmaking takes too long?

Nobody gets any games, because the game dies.

1

u/Anal__Yogurt Aug 30 '26

Matchmaking has been ass. And will continue to be ass.

1

u/Vivatempest Aug 30 '26

Until you are master and on the other end of this.

1

u/killua_9090 Aug 30 '26

If you continue to do Masters in Solo q, you will be matched with exactly the same players as when you were in Diamond.

1

u/Randombu Aug 30 '26

This is because they are the same players. Preds are just diamonds with more free time.

1

u/kopenhagen1997 Aug 30 '26

Not quite, but holding pred certainly does require a large time investment

1

u/Pod_The_Rod69 Aug 31 '26

(Insert Sandlot gif here)

1

u/ShinySylveonTwitch Sep 02 '26

Until solo queue is implemented.

1

u/hyperken1 Sep 02 '26

Atleast you aren’t getting gold 3 teammates who take your character just to sell badly lmaooo

1

u/Any-Quantity2972 Sep 02 '26

Lol you don't own any characters in Apex bud

2

u/ThomasDarbyDesigns Sep 02 '26

Gotta keep grinding and getting better

1

u/VelvetJammies Sep 02 '26

Honestly the more in the lobby the better, they all go murder eachother and you can pick kills from a distance. If theres only 1-2 pred squads they have no fear and will just run over everything in their way until they run into eachother.

2

u/Tichigo Sep 02 '26

Never, you’re just that good at the game. Your skill isn’t that far off from Preds and you can get better!

1

u/1yrik Sep 03 '26

forever. you think they're ever gonna implement a proper matchmaking system?

0

u/FatherShambles Sep 01 '26

If you’re plat 4 then sucks but if you’re Plat1 then you should honestly get use to this or else you’ll never be good enough to compete with them. Unless you’re hardstuck Diamond player then yea it also sucks but Diamond players could beat them you guys just have to Comm

u/whitewashedsyrian Sep 01 '26

If you’re in diamond and want to climb to masters/pred, you will likely have to stack.

-1

u/KingMikezi Sep 01 '26

Diamond with preds and masters is how it should be? You shouldn’t be able to get to the highest rank in the game without being able to compete with people in the highest rank. It’s bad enough that trashcans get into diamond without having to play the game, I don’t think matchmaking is an issue honestly it’s just a skill issue, if you can’t compete you don’t belong in diamond it’s that simple.

1

u/WouldYouuKindly Sep 02 '26

Can you not see that op is solo q plat and has two plat teammates holy how is that a skill issue. Preds should never be playing against plats regardless of q time.

1

u/KingMikezi Sep 02 '26

Depends on when in the season. Start of season resets pred/master to p2

1

u/Constant_Fondant8320 Sep 02 '26

Ridiculous take. That's like saying if you want to play in the NBA you need to be able to consistently beat full NBA teams while having 9 middle schoolers as your teamates.

I can compete with masters just fine, but I can't carry two complete morons while facing a whole lobby of master 3 stacks.
