Re: More than 70% of time I am being fried and one clipped.
@E9ine_AC Your comparison for the baseball game is massively lacking the core point I'm making. If I play baseball, I'm not going to play against the world champions if I'm merely a beginner or novice at the game. I'm more or less going to be paired up with similarly skilled players. Whilst in Apex Legends I'm more often than not being paired against people who obviously have a diamond trail or predator badge.
The most that will happen in some of the examples like Baseball, table tennis or football (three sports I have played) is that you train with more experienced people because teachers have to be better at something to teach. But in terms of playing against, my hobby football team isn't going to play against the world championship winners of the previous years.
And just to prevent it: No, actual War isn't a comparison either because I'm not participating in actual war for fun and enjoyment, and if someone does so then he should get checked.
Especially in games like Apex Legends you want to make sure either one of two things. You either pair similarly skilled players or you 'adjust' your game in such a way that the skill difference can't be that high. When I started out in FPS games, my most redeeming tactic was to simply be the first one shooting by hiding in corners and buildings. Eventually I upgraded that to reflexes and peeking and when I specialized in sniping, my most remarkable skill in various games was the accuracy with snipers. And not saying I'm not hitting my sniper shots in Apex Legends - I hit them very well - but each and every sniper shot that is not a Kraber is unrewarding.
As of right now, Apex Legends is fun to the professionals and frustrating to the casual players. And I see it many times in these forums or other forums, but the fact that casual players are being looked down on with disgust like they have no right to have fun is just showing where competitive games have ended up at, and why survival games and Action RPG's like MC and PoE are celebrating a comeback.
Just because someone is a casual player doesn't mean they're unwilling to learn. Some of us are just unable and unwilling to even invest that time that other players invest. If I had that time available, I wouldn't have accumulated 'only' 900 hours in Apex Legends over the past 1,5 - 2 (?) years.
