Feedback from a returning player

I played Apex for about a month when it came out. The main reason why I stopped playing was mainly because there were no solo's in the game. I  can not stand playing with randoms it is just not fun at all. Friends dont play the game . I am not going to a forum or a third party to find squad mates . If you have to go outside of your game to enjoy playing your game  then your game is broken.  I told myself I will not even consider giving this game any money or play it again until they add solo's ( its just how I enjoy playing BR's ) . If Apex doesnt add them , no biggie there are plenty of other games .

I saw the game added Ranked  ( no solo's )  but I was intrigued enough to go against what I originally told myself a few months back and decided to give it a shot again.  The first few games were fine , mainly because I spent them getting used to the game and  getting my aim and sensitivity back . I got to silver 4 pretty quick  , and this is when everything came flooding back to me like a tsunami .

I suddenly realized all of the little things with this game that enraged me so much a few months prior that I laughed at the idea of ever giving money to this game.

It seemed like every other encounter I would put 1 - 2 clips into someone and at most break their shields , meanwhile they turn hit me twice ( from my viewpoint)  and I am dead with full health and full purple shield .

I would die behind walls constantly.

Every 3 or 4 games I would disconnect  with a code net / leaf error .

I was forced to play with randoms  where maybe every 5th game would just go and die , or  wonder off somewhere  or end up  with 0/0 . 

I would hit a button to open a door , pick up an item , or loot and nothing would happen .

As far as a ranked system goes its horribly designed   on two fronts . 1  is that it encourages camping and hiding since its the most efficient way to rank up. 2  unless you play with a premade group  of people its completely RNG if you get people that will help you or hurt you.   A ranking system at its core is supposed to show how good of a player you are compared to other players doing the same thing. Someone in a group of friends and someone playing with randoms that go and jump off a cliff is not the same thing.

This game has some serious issues and I would love to buy the battlepass  but I still just laugh at the idea of ever spending money on this game . I still stand by my original thought  many months back  , that if solo's were added  I would be able to look past the little glitches , the netcode  , and the disconnects and spend money on this game . For the simple fact that those things are annoying but  having to play with other people that more often then not hurt my experience is infuriating .

I doubt any Dev's will read this or even care about 1 persons reasons for not spending money on this game , but for some reason ( considering when this game first launched the biggest threads were about adding solo's ) I dont think I am alone.
