>>11566764Yes, but Apex has a garbage matchmaking system that outright gives you wins and losses in a certain ratio to maximize player retention. It'll either team you up with retards or put you up against those retards while your team remains competent. Engagement Optimized MatchMaking ruins the game for anyone who wants to actually fight people of their own level.
>>11566821It outright isn't your fault because that's how the game is designed to work. The only way you won't be stuck in that situation is if you're stacking with two friends on a high enough rank where the game can't help but make you play against your equals and you can't get hit by smurfs.
