To be honest, I have that strange love-hate relationship going on with Apex Legends. On some days, I have those really enjoyable rounds which really encourage me to continue playing Apex Legends or perhaps even complete my Battle Pass so I can buy it safely without losses. Even if I don't win or I die somewhere early, I still feel like those cases are actually legit. Some other days feel like the game is just trying to get rid of me by putting me in situations where I'm asking myself "How the hell did this happen?"
Just had it this morning. After having my morning bread and coffee, I get on Apex, launch up the first round. Thought the first round was going to end early but managed to fence off the two squads that were third partying us. Didn't win the match but got placed third with my team. Second game I got a team where we kinda just goofed around and still won. Had to go buy some groceries then, came back with snacks and stuff, launch up Apex and immediately after dropping had the situation where the team that landed with us all already got purple armor and (of course) all of them had a Mastiff, while I ran around with my P2020 and 30-30 Repeater. Following match was just as crap because my team mate who could have decided our battle of course was 150 meters away again. Opposing team got fully revived and healed up and of course we died.
With how much the outcome is fluctuating in this game, it's kinda no wonder that people complain about the SBMM. You have those times when you're paired with some well rounded team mates who know what a team even is, and each fight is a close call. Sometimes you get obliterated right away and ask yourself whether you were accidentally paired with some super newbies against squads of super computer AI's.
The game truly is an enigma...
