Anyone else being placed into in-progress games?

I might be the only one facing this problem, but average 66% of Warzone Firefight matches I queue up for have me ending up in a match in progress, usually on the third, fourth, or fifth round. The problem with this is that you usually spawn with a lower REQ level than required to beat a boss (vs two Warden Eternals on Raid On Apex 7, I spawned with REQ level 4, which I deem incapable to beat the boss as you have no access to any form of tank), and you enter with 0 score/points. Now I’m not totally sure, but I believe your score affects the amount of XP and RP you get per match. I think it would be beneficial if they at least adjusted the REQ level for when you join a game, as then you would be able to effectively assist your team with more powerful REQs. I’ve tried changing my matchmaking player preference, but I still get put into in-progress games quite frequently. It feels kind of dumb, having to pick up the pace of someone who quit.

Thanks for listening to my mini-rant which is also a discussion. This is the first thread I’ve ever created on this forum, so I’d appreciate feedback and letting me know if I am doing anything wrong. Cheers!
