Season 20 release is terrible!

The changes are especially awful solo que. To the point I don't think I'd I'll be playing this game without a squad anymore. It took me awhile to realize exactly what I disliked but I think rushing uncoordinated fight in white shields just isn't fun.

Maybe part of it is the match making but steady match making is an awful thing to rely on in this game. It's been awful in its own right for 2-3 seasons now. 20 matches in a row for me was some variation of drop>random runs off and picks a stupid fight, goes down instantly, then its 2v3 and in white shields, you're nearly dead before you know what hit you. It reminds me of Rampart's season (S6?) when they lowered bar per shield tier. This has been the worst apex experience since then. 

On another note: It's a BR, looting is a big part of it, luck is and will still be a big part of it, there was already a way to more quickly "earn" a higher tier shield in place, I don't find anything wrong with being able to loot better shields (especially off killing someone, like you kind of earned it? that's the point of BRs) and frankly find it a weird thing to suddenly try to control strictly. We can have perks without this trash shield change there's absolutely zero reason they needed to be tied to them. 

Bonus rant: Love how leaving gives me a death now when half my solo que matches are some variation of dropping solo away from the team and dying, or leaving the second they push a dumb fight, get downed and leave themselves, or when I load in totally by myself. Now lets punish the rest of the team for it instead of letting us move on and hope we don't get a glue eater that doesn't know how to click no fill or the game naturally gives no teammates. If the devs want COD-wannabe gameplay stick it in a different mode and stop trying to make BR that.

1/10 Update as someone who plays solo que about 50 percent of the time.  I can't imagine how trash this update is for people who only solo que.
