Apex is in a terrible state.

Since the most recent patch some of the old connection and audio bugs have re-appeared including slow and jumpy movement at the beginning of games (i have fiber & use cable connection to a ps4 pro) When ultimate abilities are being used such as Gibraltar or Bangalore there is sometimes no audio que to show this is happening especially with Gibraltar. Footsteps seem worse than ever! opponents turning up directly behind me and only hearing the sound of their gunshots in my back none of their movement or footsteps before this happens. 

Skill based match making is making the game a sweat fest to the point i can only play with players i know are of a similar skill level to actually enjoy my games as every other opponent seems to have 25k+ kills along with his squad being similar or better. This isn't fun to jump on with friends and just run some casual public matches, it's got to the point where myself and a lot of other players agree that ranked is more casually playable than public matches. This should never be the case and isn't a good experience for casual or sweaty players!
