Increase Rank Level Requirement

To enter rank, the requirement should be level 100 and up. All these low level players are ruining the game. I'm tired of smurphs, and I'm tired of these bot/noob/terrible teammates. I had a player w...

I have nothing against increasing min req level for ranked to 100 but I honestly dont think it will help one bit when it comes to the issues you are describing. As a matter of fact; as a solo player, you are forced by the system to play egoistically like the guy who ran away from you. From your POV, he ran away and didnt help but from his POV, maybe you ran into a fight he didnt want to take. Who knows; maybe he pinged "back", and "no" several times but no one listened etc etc.. So many times have I rushed to a premade duos aid just to get totally screwed by them, for instance; I try to help, the premade duo decides, on their private discord, to back away, leaving me to die... And when stuff like that happened too many times, you learn from your mistakes and never trust a premade duo before they actually proves to you that they will treat you equally.

All comes down to how bad this game is to play with randoms, ESPECIALLY premade duos, its really as simple as that; there are really no viable fixes for this. And me, as a human with my own free will, can choose to play solo but then I guess I have to play by its rules. If that becomes too unbearable, I always have to choice to play with premades. Solo has its charm and so do playing with premades.

Also, I think its maybe too harsh to complain about bot/noob/terrible teammates when you play in Bronze4 =)

It's because EA/Respawn says it's a "Team-based Game" but in reality it isn't. Matchmaking is hot garbage, the community is toxic, and the bugs are rampant. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they just stopped caring for the game and only released Seasons with skins.

Riot says LoL is a team-based game, yet solo queue is actually 10x more toxic than Apex. The thing that saves you is that you are at least guaranteed the lane phase without having to think about your teammates that much (even though the match can be lost on the other side of the map as your Yasou top feeds 0/10 in 10 minutes). Same goes for CS or Valorant, also "team-based games" . Super toxic when solo queuing with randoms.
My point is that Apex is not better or worse than any big, competitive, team based PvPs. Toxicity and a tilting gaming experience is unavoidable when playing with randoms in a a team game if their performance and your teamwork is directly affecting the outcome of you game. The solution is, and always has been; premades!!!
