a space for casual and low-skilled players?
From my perspective, Apex Legends is more and more about rubbing my nose in to what I WON'T get. I wonder, whether I – as a casual low-skilled player – will have a space reserved (by design) in Apex,...

@Tamyndris You're gonna get bombarded with 'git gud' from all the TTV Wraith mains here so I'll beat them to it and tell you the same but in a less toxic way.
If you're not having much success with the game you need to take a step back and look at your playstyle and try to find and fix any faults in it. Maybe you're overextending, maybe you aren't checking corners, maybe you aren't reloading often enough, or like me maybe you find it difficult to look up (long story). But try to think of what might be causing you trouble and do the opposite.
Also go through your settings while in the training range and adjust sensitivity and such to whatever you're comfortable with. Another important yet often overlooked thing when playing demanding games like this is your gaming area, things like background noise and light reflecting off the screen can make your experience worse so play in a quiet spot with adequate lighting it possible.
Just because you've never had much luck with online games doesn't mean you should accept it as it is, there'll always be someone better than you but we should keep trying to improve ourselves. Use every loss as a lesson and every win as motivation. But don't bother waiting for EA to give you free stuff for your time and loyalty lol, that's just silly

@PretzelnutcakeNahhh we’re all civilized here 😇 no one will say git gud who’s been a longtimer here... cause then they’ll know they’ll get that good notification through mail with the preview ‘You have received a private message’ and when you see that you know it’s a mod :P and almost never is it good
@Tamyndrishave you tried playing non shooters? You listed 3 fast paced shooters already and state you’ve got no nerves for aiming or else I’d say try less fast paced shooting. Try to play some sport or race games. If you just want to shoot, play single players. If you want to play online (for whatever reason) play with friends cause if you’re really that bad, you’re burdening your teammates and putting them in a less desired position from the get go. Friends of you will likely be more forgiving.
Good luck & hope you get better...

Good luck & hope you get better...Not playing shooters?? Nahhh. You see, I love to be in the middle of it. Game-wise. For that, there is no better place than doing PvP online. And, being in my own little Single Player world there, like in Wolfenstein, DOOM or stuff doesn't do the trick anymore. It's not exciting enough.
Usually, in a game there are or have been (former times) mixed skill levels in players and all was fine. Be it Battlefield or Battlefront, I did my thing, died, respawned and did my thing again. I placed amoungst others in the lower half of the kill chart, somebody had to be there, and we all went on. The difference to Apex is/was, that the rewarding system in those games (if there was any) was not connected to your skill level. Much. THAT's the feat I need to pull off here at Apex, to ignore all the good stuff passing by, which I can't get (without paying extra money).
I know my place, skill-wise. That's why I prefer mechanisms in a game, that take different skill levels in account. Like what a Ranked sytem usually does. Like in Overwatch, where I am completely fine with everything. THERE I have my 50/50 win rate, sort of. And nobody would need to think of me as a burden in a team, neither. (no, I don't go back there atm, because Apex is way cooler ^^)
You asked for the reason I'd come online. It's to play with other and different people. From all over the world. That's the point behind Massively Multiple Online Games in my eyes. Also, I love the chaotic and ramdom element there. You never know with whom or against whom you are matched. I don't regard it as my fault as a player, if the game thus architects teams, wherein half of the people are frustrated with what they got. In fact, I find the more seasoned players accept and respect that element in their matches as well and might even see a quality there. "Come on, you Noobs, let's do this!"
Thanks for your friendliy response. I am getting better with the game. But I will stay casual and slow, all in all. And rewards will stay out of reach for me.
