Re: Ranked solo with 2 premades

@hayhor @Zynreal 90% of the time I play with a pre-made squad going against diamond-pred 3 stacks. If you’re a bronze-silver 3 stack, it might not be the best experience. I would also play 1-3 games a day on my own when I’m about to get the daily treasure pack and the lobbies are substancially easier. I still don’t like to be placed in bot lobbies though. Yes, your enemies are less skilled and you can get kills, but you also get noob teammates which frustrates me more to be honest. Much prefer to be in sweaty lobbies with competent teammates.

    I have to back up the fact that premade get harder lobbies then solo. When I play solo I get far easier lobbies then when my team plays together, and all of my team says the same, that its substantially harder in team then solodropping.

    @dSKyNafinchin You can always check by hitting the quit key, if you dont get the are you sure, youll loose x .... you should be good :D

  • So....most games of Apex are boring, and that puts it right in the mix of any Battle Royale game.

    Getting teabagged at  a Respawn beacon is reason, like, 109 why this game is not a team game unless you came with a pre-made team.  You're better off dropping solo in Ranked and seeing if your Team can get to the final placements with 2 while you get their alone.  That way at least 1 in say 10 games is worth the other 90% you play that aren't that interesting.

    Whatever your stats are for fun vs. not fun games, it for sure gets lower when you play with team mates who are pubs.  It's not like I haven't met good pugs, but I'd put that number at more like 1 in 20 to 1 in 40.  

    Most video games these days that are popular take advantage of people's pigeon emotional need to keep pecking at a game for a reward that shows up in a low rng percentage of the time.  If you look at Apex, that's how it is made.  The game's store is at least entertaining as actually playing more than half the games of Apex you load up.

    I play it, so I'm not preaching, but I know what I'm in for...dropping alone and trying to make at least 10% of my games fun so the other 90% that are boring or bad 'pay off' :P  And when I get tired of that kind of bad math, I play Titan Fall 2 (when they let me load into their janky server) or another video game.
