The Apex Legends "Experience"

@what_did_u_do
Well, I can only welcome you to our illustrious club of disappointed average players. Although, I've been playing the game since S3 and may be below average...took a break (forever?) after S17.

Your experience of gameplay has been shared by many before you and posted on the forums. But either Respawn doesn't want or can't make the game "good" again.

So my advice to you:
Escape while you still can. Find another shooter. I did too and my frustration with my poor performance, teammates, loot and matchmaking is almost gone.
If you really want to keep playing Apex, then you should definitely mute the entire team at the beginning of each round (unless you're playing with friends, of course ;-) ).
In S17, I still enjoyed mixtape the most, but it has gotten worse and worse. But BR has become unplayable.

You should have experienced the game from S8 to S12. That was REALLY good.
