I will add that it has been discussed about an account getting to level 100 at least before ranked play unlocks. I can agree with that, I think it would help.
@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.
