Casual is POINTLESS
Season nine or legacy. Needs to be changed because every time I play casual I seem to play against predators. They should be in their own lobby and playing against each other not playing against peop...
Forum Discussion
I agree with @Irres169. When I play pubs as a solo, I might have 1-5 current or ex preds/masters in my lobbies but that is totally acceptable. If i want a challenge, I drop hot with them but if I dont wanna sweat, I jump somewhere safer. Seems to me that too many people on this forum call everyone who is better than them for "sweats" who they dont want in their lobby but they have nothing against having player worse than them in their lobbies hrmm.
In my opinion, skill is gained by getting your butt kicked by those who are better than you and as you gradually become better yourself, you are also gradually becoming the one who is doing the butt kicking, i.e being rewarded for your skill progression. Imagine how unrewarding it would be if also pubs had a strict sbmm and all the players in the lobby would be exactly as good as you. Everyone K/D would progress towards 1 and every match would feel as ranked.
Ha ha. Clearly dude you are below 25.
I haven’t got time to put thousands of hours into this game. I don’t have mummy and daddy paying my bills. I have a life, i work and wanna relax playing casual.
I can guarantee there are no preds/masters above 30 unless they get paid for it as a living.
and by your theory you should gamble against a slot machine because you will win eventually 🤣
or playing against a premier league football team when you are an amateur sunday league football, yeh you will get better 🤣
or by fighting Canelo alvarez or tyson fury as someone who’s had two school fights in your life, yeh you’ll get better 🤣🤣🤣
bless you have tried with your reply though…
lastly the reaction speed and time of a 14-21 year olds is far quicker then a 30+ year old. And with reaction speeds like that they should be doing far more with their life but hey that society now nobody actually wants to work for a living they just wanna stream and play a computer game and then loads of money that way when they will actually benefit society doing something more constructive with their talents
I dont know if you were talking to me but Im 35, have a 9-5 job and other hobbies than Apex. And I rarely play ranked anymore but usually just bring up main up to Diamond 4 or 3 every split and then pubs for the rest of the split. Why? Because I am like you; "I have a life, I work and wanna relax playing casual", which is the case now when casual is a mix of players of all skill levels, probably mirror the overall player skill distribution to some extent. But if they made casual with a strict skill based matchmaking, casual wouldnt be relaxing anymore, would it?
Ps, and whats with all straw man arguments and over exaggerations? The matchmaking in casual is not even comparable with having a premier league football team playing a amateur Sunday team.... If you think thats a good comparison, you clearly overestimate the overall level of the average casual lobby. I would say that a gold lobby often can be harder than my casual lobbies. Yes you will run into a highly skilled player once in a while but most players are quite bad, which this forum is a proof of with all "my random teammates suck"-threads.
Well, its not like I am aiming to be a PRO either. I just said that it seems to me that what many SBMM-complainers what is to feel good and skilled without having to work for it. A non-existing SBMM in casual will at least allow you to be rewarded for your efforts because when you get better, you will notice it since skill is relative. This would not have been the case if the SBMM is strict since as you get better, all the opponent also get better.
- @Balladalidila I think I am finally back into my normal lobbies, but its too early to judge but its at least somewhat playable
- @Balladalidila Feeling good and skilled is not what we are looking. We want a fair match up based on our skill level, we want sbmm its that simple, dont put words in our mouth lol. Why the sbmm works so good and everybody have a good experience at lower ranks, Why we dont see them complaining? Because they are actually matched with people with the same skill level. You dont mind cause youre a decent diamond player so you can take out many platinum and gold players in your lobbies(thats probably why you stop playing rank once you reach diamond 3, putting words in your mouth lol) but imagine being them.
You don't need to justify...I am older than you and I probably play longer than 2 hours some days and some days I may not play at all.
I am not trying to be pro either.
But if I play a competitive game I try to get better at it.
I don't cry about the competition, I just keep at it and work harder.
It is a personality trait, it doesn't need to be justified.
I find fun in playing something that is "competitive" well. And well is determined by me. 🙂
You realise we are all playing a game, which does not start as equal right? Due to ping,servers etc. And the fact its an actual computer game….
why do you think esports all play on the same servers in the same room? (I won’t go on about PoE either)
Remember the next time your we lad or girl, does sports day, tell them they have to start 5/10 secs behind whom they are racing. And when they ask why, tell them not to CRY about it and its tough s***
oh And thrown in competitive bias.
great advice mate 👍🏻
- @eltorro7 I made it to pred season 3. I pay my own bills I also do not stream or make a living off the game. I have well over 3500 hours into the game. For some apex is their hobby. They dont watch tv they dont go out and bowl or watch movies. They stay inside and play what they enjoy.
So some having a higher skill verse those who have other hobbies is going to be in everything on earth. No matter the hobby there will be millions better then yourself in what hobby you enjoy. Some equal skill as well. So to assume people have to put their life into the game is completely wrong. Your hobbies differ from those of us who put in hours to get better at our hobby.
I am not rich I am a below-average income citizen. I have not put thousands in my computer for gaming. Even if I had lots of money for these things it would not change the fact this game is my hobby and i work hard at my hobby. Just as all the other people do.
