Re: Too many "pro" players ruining everyone's fun.

I think this has to do more with the matchmaking and less with the players. Once you make it out of the "just downloaded the game" level of matchmaking, you are put into a lobby of people effectively skilled around a hypothetical silver tier all the way up to a hypothetical predator tier. I get pro players wanting to pub stomp, and I'm friends with a few people in Masters/Pred that enjoy doing dumb * in pubs and having fun. Sure, it's not that great for the average/higher skilled players, but it happens. However I don't think that these players are manipulating anything, they just know that the matchmaking has no way to differentiate between low/average/high skill tier players and god tier players so long as they both play at the same game frequency.

    I think most of you are right. But there is one little thing what makes the ... lets call ist "learning curve" very very very steep.

    Lerning from good players...thats completely impossible. Only two situations can happen here. 

    Good player in your team:

    Hotdrop, the good one kills everybody ( and you need to stay alive , he will not revive you as you are only ballast ). Suddenly you are champion and you have no clue why that happens. You made 45 dmg.

    Endscreen

    I hope you learnd something !

    Good player in enemy team:

    Oh look, there are some enemys in 100m distance.

    Next frame you and your team are killed almost instantly.

    You made 0 dmg.

    Endsceen

    I hope you learned something !

    You can not even figure out what was happening in both situations. Even in ranked games you have this problem as there are alot smurfs out there. but mainly ppl smurf not to noobbash ppl. If you have a friend starting with apex and you want to play with him/her you need to be very close to his rank...pred and copper....not very close. 

    tldnr: You have to spend blood, sweat and tears to become a better player. Its not a git gud sentence. But i dont have a solution to tvis problem other than just die your way up the ladder.
