Player Shortage

I personally have gone from hours upon hours of Apex to quitting if not every split after like half way I would usually grind to quitting during split, taking a few off and coming back like 3-4 times lately just to check one thing: how EA is limiting hackers in Diamond (now already Plat3+) lobbies.

And they have done basically nothing. To be fair back in season what was it 21 or 22 when rage hackers were common sight and what not they reacted (eventually) rolling out anti-Linux stuff...now situation for me as player is actually worse than in season 22 which I did quit but it didn't feel this daunting.

These days every game basically contains hackers, like every **bleep** ranked game. You kinda roll for:

1. whom hackers will kill first
2. how good your randoms will be
3. how teams will rotate - mass push your POI or give you some breathing room

Quality of games for me is all time low, really playing just for fun to actually win vs some dumb wallhackers that I spot and can take on if I have a  good soloqing teammates.
Rest is just 80%+ either teammates running away as duo and dying <15th place, having hackers on my team actually ripping lobby up, having 1-2 tier lower ranked players on my team who perform accordingly bad, hackers just W+mouse1 into me and rolling me over.

I think I will play a bit and soon (within a week or so) quit Apex again. This is just sad that legit players can't grind and run into so many hackers already in Plat lobbies. On the flip side - who cares...before it was Diamond 4+ lobbies, then after easy rank given by Respawn it became Diamond 2+, now it is Plat 3... eventually you run into dumb hackers and if you manage there you run into your streamers and pros grinding with top tier hacks on... More on that -> Youtube Zeus, watch, he has a lot of educational videos about the topic and how bad EA is doing in Apex in that regards.
