Completely missing the core problems of Apex with matchmaking and focusing on completely unnecessary things that provide no real value to @PlayApex
Kind of a frustrating read tbh as it just shows how far away we are from real change in the game.
The sad reality is that it doesn't matter how good the meta is with characters or weapons when the core game modes of Apex are still dogshit it far outweighs everything else.
Ranked is still just pubs with points with 0 incentive or good gameplay. Ranked is supposed to be a gateway into comp instead it's just a pub fighting simulator where you just mindlessly run at eachother. Gaining points is literally just a time investment and getting Ranks feels like a straight up chore.
Instead of trying to separate the game modes we have an obvious mindset of trying to make them even more similar, which absolutely makes no sense with the unranked skill display and seeding skill values.
"A desire for premades to play only against premades and solos to only play against solos is something we’ve frequently heard, but a full splitting of the queues isn’t a possibility that we’re going to pursue in the near future"
This part is the one that frustrated me the most. Sure separating the queues for pubs isn't necessary if the matchmaking can do it anyway since it is a system that doesn't offer any rewards. But trying to separate solo queuers from 3 stacks within the same Ranked Leaderboard and letting them climb together seems even less rewarding and makes absolutely no sense for competitive integrity. We are again just making Ranked more like pubs.
YOU NEED TO ADD SOLO QUEUE RANKED TO THE GAME
Last time I said this I even suggested that we mix console and pc in order to "maintain healthy queue populations and ensure that matchmaking quality isn't compromised" literally your words.
With the direction of @PlayApex and the declining playerbase this will most likely need to be forced in the near future anyway to find games so why not start early and test the waters.
It's great that Apex is a team game but for 6 years now we have told the players that they are worthless if they don't have friends. If you play the game solo you have no value to @PlayApex which isn't a sustainable direction to stay in. It is impossible to enjoy the game solo, so you literally refuse to play it until your squad gets online. Having Solo Queue Ranked will allow players to play the game until their squad gets online and gives players purpose when alone. Instead of the current play a different game until ur squad gets on, oh nobody came online so I never touched apex and just played other games instead to the point where you forget about Apex and just don't play it at all.
Atleast apex will always have comp I guess but I just feel so bad for the casual playerbase who will never get to experience apex "the right way"...
TLDR
Completely wrong mindset on what direction to take in Apex.
Core game modes of Apex are terrible and way too similar to eachother both in terms of gameplay and matchmaking.
Seems like that's the direction we want to go which makes absolutely 0 sense.
Solo queue ranked needs to be added and it is very much possible if we combine PC and Console
Comp Apex will forever carry apex but I feel bad for everyone else

First place in the hardest lobby in the history of Apex Legends. We needed that, been struggling putting it all together lately and we finally made the stride to dominate. Thanks for all the support everyone. @NRGgg fam is insane both online and in-person. Bring it home tomorrow.
