Re: I can't rank up. My randoms mess me up. Fix this Respawn

@mastiffslinger 

Yes I do partly agree with you here. Its not good from a competitive standpoint that you can end up with teammates several ranks below you. One big reason is how they pamper duo premades. You can be bronze and join a gold player premade right? And then matchmaking will then match you according to the gold players rank. This is only "fair" for the premade duo which chooses to play with each other but what Respawn totally ignores how UNFAIR this is for their 3rd random teammate, who is gold elo and is matched with a statistically weaker team. So this principle is objectively wrong IMO. 

BUT I think you are very biased in your take of the situation and I think you only remember the negative times. First of all, I dont believe that you get lower ranked teammates in "every" match, probably not even in majority of matches. I think that if you would take a screenshot of 100 of your ranked teammates, you would see that its quite evenly distributed. Thats why we need a match history!!!

Also, one factor that you miss here is that in many of those matches, for instance if you are gold3 and you get two silver teammates, is that the lobby you got matched in is average silver. So YOU have an advantage here but its easy to just notice the negatives.  Thats why we need to see the average ELO of the lobby we play at. This is not information that should be hidden!

In this arguments, I only refer to ranked and in ranked, the number of kills should not be a factor in the matchmaking. In ranked, the matchmaking should ONLY match based on rank. The problem here is that the current rank system is super bad at putting a given player at the rank that corresponds to his actual skills. I honestly believe that if you would randomly take 1000 players from, lets say "silver3" and let each of them fight each other in a million 1v1s, there would be some players that would literally win close to zero of those when, in a "good" ranked system, everyone SHOULD have 500.000 wins give or take.

Yeah I hear you. Pubs in Apex is like Aram in LoL for me. I dont take that mode seriously and I definitely expect a mode with competitive integrity. That whats Ranked mode SHOULD be at least. But as long as I get noob teammates in the majority of my pubs but also fight squads of noobs, I am OK with that mode. I can have decent games in pubs, averaging about 3 KD, 1000 dmg dealt and 15% win rate.

How "well" my lobbies play out is actually due to randomness, based on which one of the 3 players in the enemy squad that I randomly focus in the fight and who of them that randomly focuses me. Most enemy squads have one good and two bad players so for instance, if I end up starting to fight the "good" enemy and lose, chances are very high that my two randoms will go even with the two enemies and the good enemy will heal up and 1v3 and we lose. But If I win that fight, the same scenario plays out but we win. Bottom line; if you are the good player in your squad, which you are implying that you are since you say that you always get two bad players as teammates, then its your job to carry.

My advice for best gaming experience in pub is to focus on yourself. Dont try to run in into a bad situation just to try save your noob randoms and prevent them from quitting. Just play and mind your own business and if you end up alone when two randoms leave the game with 40 dmg deal, then grab a sniper and play 3rd party strat. Its actually quite fun and also good to increase your skills to always have to 1v3.

@Balladalidilai dont want to "ego"-play and just leave the team to die when i should (bcs they act stupid) , i try to 1vX my way through and sometimes it even works out ... just to respawn them and being let down again ... then i start to tilt. and i dont like the sniperguns, except the Vantage One, but i play Banga most of the time to get rid of the aim-assist in close range.
This doesnt happen when you get mates that know how to play the game (and with over half a million players on Steam alone, one would expect those to show up as team mates not only 1 out of a 100 games) , but what will you do when the crap MM deals you bloody noobs most of the time ... im sick of being the carry, especially if its for nothing and they just die again with no descend dmg to their names

@r1ggedgame 

Ok. Seems to be that your issue is more based in the fact that you are playing with randoms than anything else. This will never be solved. Even the best pro players in the world can have totally different ideas how to play the macro game and specific plays (go left, go right, hard push, hold etc etc). So needless to say; people will have different ideas how to play this game and this is something you can work with with premades but to expect randoms to totally understand your ways and also accept you as the almighty shot caller of the team, is just not realistic. 

Whats wrong with ranked then, especially now when they removed the leaver timer. You can actually not mean that every diamond you play with are objectively worse than you which ruins the game for you (you said they were boosted)? If they are so bad, you should be able to smurf your way through diamond. 

Btw

I also get noobs as teammates in most of my pubs but I also have like 3+ kd (included early leaves so 3 kills/matched played rather) and avr 1000 dmg + in pubs so ofc are the average enemy player also at the same level as my bad teammates. Just a screenshot from the match I just came out of... My teammates were alive almost the entire match and I literally had to 1v3 every single fight. But the reason I manage to win almost every encounter even with such bad teammates, IS because the average enemy was as bad as my teammates. And personally, I dont want pubs to be like diamond3 is for me, i.e where I literally lose every other 1v1. Why make pubs exactly as ranked in terms of SBMM, not even taking into consideration the 5-8 minutes queue time for pubs for very high and low elo players?
