@DarthVaapar Doesn't matter how much money they invest into it, if people won't play it the game dies. Just look at Anthem. EA threw a ton of money at that game and it died so quickly and now nobody wants to buy it even at a massive discount.

@HansBurgers True, but Anthem didn’t get 50 million players in a month either. It didn’t have any success whatsoever. Anthem was a fail. Apex isn’t.

@DarthVaapar The Apex on release wasn't a fail, but in it's current state it is very much so.

  @HansBurgers Nah... It’s doing very well. Season 3 has seen a huge spike in new players. SBMM will ensure many of them stick around for a long while.

  @HansBurgers I would encourage you take what DarthVaapar says with a grain of salt. He makes a lot of jumps when he disagrees with people I've seen (I can't be bothered to respond to them all.), you can take note of my response to him. I understand your feelings as to why this season fails in comparison to the game when it began. At the very least, I hope someone like DarthVaapar can understand that some changes need to be made and that this game does not feel as good for the players who continue putting more time and or effort in. I also hope he understands that the community doesn't widely agree with his perspective. The polling I've seen on Reddit says more people take issue with SBMM than those who think it's fine. He is entitled to his opinion, but I'd like to see where he gets his data on everyone loving how the current SBMM stands.

    My solution to this is just by playing on an alt account ranked to still enjoy the gameplay and to make sure that some games are winable. If I'm with my full main squad I will play unrankeds to face other premades. But alone, hell no. Not doable.
