"Teammates" - Once Again

Can we seriously just get Solos and have Duos/Solos for ranked as well? I'm tired of having to play with randoms because my friends either quit playing this game (and I'm sure people could guess why that is) or they are too busy to get on.

Get more friends you say? No, I shouldn't have to have friends to enjoy a game. I know this is "teambase" but every "teammate" pretty much leaves you for dead. Good players lose points in ranked because trolls who don't care about their rank que up. You can't "report" them for it either, and even if you could, nothing happens to them.

Over all, including the countless issues with this game like cheaters, Apex is not really fun anymore.

I used to been all for teamwork. I would try to get banners if I could. Now after nearly two years of playing this game, I no longer feel the need to care about teammates. I'm at the point where if they go down, I'm not carrying them.

  • The problem with teammates is there is no way to accurately measure decision making.

    The key to randoms is dont expect much from them. Play yourself. Worry of yourself. This path most likely is cause of the loss of this match but even though he didn't do much damage we still had fun. I never expect anything from my randoms but one on the left as you can see held his own. Some randoms just need guidance and understanding. It can be rough for sure I know I just adapt over come and conquer. 

  • @Midnight9746Question I have though. If i can do this to lobby of teams what do you think I would do to a solo lobby? It would be dead. You know how easy I would rank up in duo/solo? Would make things super easy for player like myself. These are not even my good games either they are my decent games. Solo rank would be so easy it would infact kill trio ranked.

    @Midnight9746even so quicker lobbies. Much much easier to 1v1 or even 1v1v1v1v1v1 and end the match quickly for easy rp. Where with teams it prolongs the match. You have bigger worry bigger risks. Its one thing to drop 1-2 preds but chance of all 3 is not in many peoples favor. For me it would just inflate ranked numbers due to how easy it would be how quick it could be done.

    Not to mention comes the queue times. With SBMM it would def do some odd things which is easily seen when you are placed in a lobby by yourself on the games mistake and still in lobbies with preds. This same mistake would find its way there and completely fubar solo rank matches with a vast difference of ranks.

    I agree with @E9ine_AC . Teammates will usually suck and only on rare occasions will you randomly be matched with random players who just happen to share the same strategical views and play style as you (too many blame teammates for being bad only because they dont play the game exactly as you see it in your head, which ofc is a ridiculous and immature way of looking at it).

    The only you can do when playing with randoms (which I do at least 50% of my games) is to first and foremost mind your own business, play in way that maximizes your personal benefits, which in some cases IS to play as a team, for instance when you notice that your teammate is good etc etc. 

    And lets be honest here; the reason why you can land 4k bomb games IS because

    1) your teammates suck

    2) many of the enemy players suck as much as your teammates.

    Whenever you go 1v3 and solo wipes an entire team, one clipping every member of that team is possible because those players suck =) No way I would have got 4k dmg in that game for instance if my teammates had been good OR if my too many of my opponents had been good...  I spend the entire game reviving and respawning them and even though they made very little dmg, they contributed by soaking up enemy dmg.

    @Balladalidila I try to tell people 20 bombs and 4k are truly not too hard. Its will i be placed in a bot lobby and if i am will i keep going to try for them. I got them 5 legends now due to what i call bot lobbies. People who did zero moving with looting people who ran with guns out and such. These players was just easy.
