Season 9 of Apex Legends has been out for quite some time now and has received a mixed response from the players. Even though the game looks brilliant in terms of content, there is an abundance of cheaters and hackers.
Having said that, Respawn Entertainment is trying its best to keep the community engaged and happy. The best way to do so is free rewards, and the developer certainly recognizes it.

Matchmaking and bug fixes coming soon
Players around the world have been complaining about the matchmaking issues in Apex Legends for a long time. Apparently, during duos and trios, they were getting matched with no teammates.
Apex Legends’ Director of Communications has claimed that the upcoming 9.1 patch will entirely fix this bug. This update will most probably arrive in the end of June. The Director admitted that the matchmaking problems have been frustrating, and fixing them has taken more time than expected.
There’s another bug that happens with Gibraltar. Sometimes, when players slide inside his shield and throw an Arc-star, it gets stuck on the outside boundary of the bubble. The developers already know about this glitch and have started working to fix this too.
YouTuber Omega talked about the current state of Apex Legends in a recent video.
