Is it time for me and the rest of the community to walk away from this game?

So before I delve more into the subject. I have been playing games for most of my life. When I first started playing apex, this game gave me the nostalgic feeling of modern warfare 2, the movement, t...

@Pure_Funk_NuggetFirst of all, I speak for MYSELF, if you do not agree, then you are clearly the other % which does not feel the strain of the game when solo matchmaking. Second of all, there are others posting on here, which shows that I am not alone with this decision.

I never once said the developers support hackers, I said they take MONTHS to fix a simple bug. Just like the ranked bug that has been here for almost a week when it takes literally 2 seconds to roll out a fix for it.

I have played this game from day 1 with EVERY single issue this game had, I've carried nearly every single team in games I've been in. Since you didn't understand the first time I will repeat it, If you CARRY someone then you are CLEARLY a team player since apex is a squad based game and you made up for their lack of skill by helping them to survive and also confirming kills.

Now you also said that you are an "average" player, so that also implies that you do not understand the headache 'sweaty' solo players go through when "Mr level 80 with 70 kills" has to be picked up a 15th time because they cant press R2 when they see an enemy. If SBMM didn't exist, then this wouldn't be an issue, but it does, so it IS.

I would also like to add here, we are not talking about the integrity of human beings, we are talking about skill based matchmaking and how it is still completely broken. 

Now I think it is only fair that we compare stats, since you are talking about teamwork, how many teammate revives and drop ship revives do you have? I have 3,120 teammate revives and 778 drop ship revives as of right this second. I'm guessing since you're a better team player than me you have more teammate/drop ship revives right? Because that is what YOU are implying.

Lastly, are you okay with being put in predator lobbies with people like me who have 9,000-35,000 kills, the apex predator badge, and the 20 kills badge? Where all game all you see is squads of 3 pushing each person in the team and instantly downing them?

Anyway, here is some factual evidence what I also mean by "Carrying" teammates, if the first link is too annoying to watch since it was made in the first week of me playing, watch the second one and if that one is too painful to watch too, then watch the third link.

Notice me pinging EVERYTHING they need, or would need too, yeah that's what I mean by "Carrying" teammates.

@MoNosDirtyGamingThere must be some reason you don't play ranked. And only seem to want to solo queue normal games where you have random squad mates.

You must just be a glutton for punishment, most players would have found some other high level skill friends you could queue up with in ranked or normal. Do you have a problem with finding other high end players to squad up with?

You know what I do when I have squad mates who aren't too good? I try to help them! I adapt and try to lead us to a win.

Unfortunately there is a severe lack of empathy around these days and that's why people choose to be angry or abusive towards squad mates rather than help them.

    @Pure_Funk_Nugget Ranked is in a similar state right now. I usually always hit diamond with ease and play with friends who are master/predator and can hold my own in those lobbies. Right now due to the split I’m in Platinum and it is the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. Old predators are everywhere, most of my teammates are low plat or gold (sometimes even silver) and just run away from everything, never help or even fire their weapon. Meanwhile there are diamond and master players in the same lobby and I’ve also had top predators in there. How does this make any sense? The amount of carrying I have to do in ranked now is insane and one of the most frustrating things ever.

      @BennSauna It is frustrating, but in ranked we should be expected to struggle with below average teammates until we rise up in the ranks where the more skilled players are, you know?

    @Pure_Funk_Nugget I to like to relax when playing games and not feel the need to sweat it out every single second of playing the game. SBMM is horrible and needs adjusting because everything about it at this point is wrong.

    I used to play with friends, but most of them quit because they hated the direction the game was going in (basically the changes in season 3 and no they did not return). Yes you are right that most other players would have found similar high skilled players, and I have found a few, but they do not have the similar skill level as I do, decision making is important in fights, but its things like when you are playing in ranked, and you have just met 2 other players who finally know what they are doing, and then you also end up progressing to the next tier after that game, which instantly makes it unable so we are able to play together. It is things like that which conflict with me finding new people to play with.

    I have helped evry single squad I have been in, I tag everything they need or might need, i share my shield batteries, I have even gave teammates my gold/purple shields and taken the white evo shields just so they have more of a chance to live.

    The last statement I agree with you, but I have been carrying players for over a year now, I am tired of it. If SBMM was correctly implemented, I would not be feeling the way I am towards how unbalanced random teams are on apex. As you have stated that you are an average player, that tells me that you have not carried almost every single squad you have been in, which also tells me that you would not be able to understand how frustrating it is to have to do it every single day, especially for over a year now. There is a huge difference between empathising towards teammates and them being completely useless.The only time it should be acceptable to have to carry teammates in ranked should be from bronze-gold, because as you get better, you are going up through the ranks, which is where the below average players are mostly, but for it to happen in every single pug match is atrocious. SBMM needs a severe rework.
