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...

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.

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 👍🏻
