Apex fails returning casual players

It's because of the massive issues in the game.

Massive cheater user base!

Broken aim assist for controllers, having the upper hand?

Chronus and strike packs?

etc. etc. etc.

And then messed up matchmaking...

You struggle for these reasons, and if we didn't have these problems, then casual play would feel like it should.

Not only that, there is no reward for your effort. The rank system does not correspond to any actual value for you anymore. They are stupid thinking we enjoy a meaningless symbol.... if you try to go casual in normal queue, well forget about it, they use the same matchmaking mechanic there as in ranked so you will forever play against players when you had your peak.... I can't seem to rank down my MMR score and having to hard try even outside ranked gameplay is stupid....

I find the more and more games I lose and get wiped and insta die (meaning like 50 games in a row) - the MM actually gets harder. The more I loss the tougher and tougher my opponents get, and the lower my teammates level and skill goes. 

Makes no sense. The game is a write off at this point to me if you work a 40 hour job and like to play a couple hours a day for fun. 

HAW, fun? 

This is now a pro streamer game only IMO. 

Beta day one player here. To the casual player base, stop spending money on this game. You are being taken advantage of. 

I do feel your pain, because I am suffering the same. Personally I returned 3 weeks ago after almost 3 1/2 years absence (seems most of my matches were in S1), tried for 3 weeks to get into the game again. I played many times with friends in groups, sometimes solo, but in the end Apex is just unfun to me. So I will go back again to play something else.

It's not to say that I had'nt had a few fun moments in that time, but these rare gems are really outweighed by all the frustration about the bad net code, too low server tickrate for 2023, often lags and rubberbanding, constantly having to play against players in unranked of much higher skill level to just get stomped into the ground, and so much more.

What I want is a laidback, nice experience, Apex simply does not deliver this for me. You know, something like High Tower on TF2 - such a type of experience, just a public match which do feels fair. But it seems this is not possible in Apex, you're either on the giving or receiving end of the pain truck most of the time with not much in between.

@Vruhag

Fortnite Zero Build is a really laid back experience, especially Solo mode.

I'm playing this all the time now, instead of Apex.

But if you want chill in Apex, it can be done, you just drop far, work the edge of the ring and map, sneaking around.

What I want in Apex, and I do consider as chilling around, are fairly balanced matches. But this is something I do get maybe in 1 out of 10 matches.

My total kill count is maybe around 100, but I constantly keep getting paired against veteran players with 5000+ kills, insane high level counts and such. Which is anything, but balanced, because in the end they've got on Mix Tape e.g. spot #1 with 20 kills on their roster, #2 then 6 and so on. And this is just unfun for anyone at the receiving end.
