HisWattson blasts Apex Legends matchmaking again as Rookies face Preds Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends pro Jacob \u2018HisWattson\u2019 McMillin has slammed Respawn\u2019s matchmaking once again after seeing that Rookie players are being placed against Predators. While the Apex Legends community is constantly suggesting ways for the devs to improve the game, nothing is mentioned more than matchmaking. Skill differential in lobbies has been a serious problem in Respawn\u2019s battle royale for a long time, but finally, on January 17, a blog post was released explaining how they\u2019re going to improve the quality of matches. Following this on January 20, Respawn released another statement to European players that they may experience \u201cunusual pairings\u201d in Ranked on account of their testing and attempts to improve the system. Well, since then Apex pro HisWattson has taken to Twitter to reveal that Rookies are being placed against Predator players in the competitive mode. Not only that, the replies to his tweet are filled with countless other players facing the same top-tier opponents despite being in Silver and Bronze. HisWattson shows Rookie players are being placed against Preds Taking to Twitter on January 20, HisWattson showcased that a level 37 Rookie player had been killed by a Predator while playing Ranked. Describing the matchmaking as \u201cfoul\u201d, it\u2019s obvious Wattson was left in disbelief that these two players could ever get into the same lobby. After seeing the tweet, other Apex players decided to reply with their own bad matchmaking experiences. Twitter user Sheepy presented one of the most shocking examples, with the gold player being pitted against a 3-stack Pred squad who all hold top spots on the Ranked ladder. While Respawn warned players that \u201cusual pairings\u201d may pop up while they\u2019re experimenting with the matchmaking, it\u2019s clear the community is losing patience. The Rookie tier was designed to prevent new players from getting disheartened in Ranked, so there\u2019s definitely a problem if they\u2019re going up against the best competitors in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
