I can completely empathise with you.
Recently, I returned to playing Apex after a break of 2 months. I completed all of the weekly challenges plus the Armed and Dangerous stuff first. Then I started playing Ranked this Sunday.
Bronze rank was pretty tolerable, as most of my teammates were sincere, if not skilled players who responded to the game in rational ways and therefore were also reliable.
Silver has been a horror story of teammates who are both intent on dying quickly and who are also completely unpredictable. Not to mention verbally abusive and angry lol.
My K/D has also gone into free-fall dropping down from 3.5 to 1.7 in the space of merely traversing the Silver ranks. Which I simply put down to lemming-like teammates and my foolishly ignoring my own rule of abandoning ship at the first sign of self-destructive tendencies. I have been shouting at my monitor and screaming like a banshee in almost every match.
Dreaded Gold will probably be much worse.
I like Apex. But most of my teammates don't speak English, despite my being British and playing on the London data centre. So it's been very difficult to make friends. Also, there is just a complete lack of mutual respect or even rationality amongst players.
There are pockets of cheating, although that situation seems to have improved since Season 1. There has been some very weird behaviour.
The only thing I can really suggest to you, is to find some friends on the looking for squad section of the forums. That's what I've done.
I hope things improve for you!
