This game has stopped being about fun

I don't know how you tell levels of players in casual modes, as far as I know they were not displayed.

Also in pubs it has always been like that as far as I can remember = totally random people allocation.

e.g. since the intro of the whatever bar that shows your squad I have NEVER been below like top25% squads since when I randomly dabbled into pubs, 8 out 10 games I will be like top squad or fraction away from it. Did it make pubs for me significantly easier? NO!

And as competitive FPS player I just don't get it why people complain. In comparison you go to Valorant and there is deathmatch mode (random 20? people play free for all with instant respawns after kills) -> top level ranked players and pros constantly use that as a warmup and post like 90%+ Hs rate with amazing number of frags per game. Like that vs Apex pubs is like hardcore mode on super ultra hard settings :D
I still play it as:
a) I set to myself a goal to at least match my rank level players
b) try not to bottom frag
c) it is a good training vs the best, you can gauge how far are you from them
d) you can record your games and review where did you fall short, figure out how better players play

Is it fun...for me it is. Is it chill - for me probably 80% not BUT I don't believe in combo chill+competitive game.

As I said not sure why people these days demand this combo ignoring the other humans on "receiving end".
