Of course Asmodeus566 is back to imply that since he's having a good time, everybody is having a good time.
I did go through many other post stating the same kind of issue I'm having with the game and you're in every post saying how you are having a good experience and there is nos issue and "get good, find friends" as your solution. You are just coming of rude every time dismissing other players issue. Don't you believe one single second that if so many of us come here and take the time to write a post on a forum there must be some kind of issue ?
"The needs of the many,
outweigh the needs of the few or one."
We are not only a few. A LOT of players are stating that solo queueing is impossible to play this season. I've been playing since the first season and never had that kind of issue. And believe it or not, some people have a life outside of Apex Legends, have work and some have children, and it is not always possible to queue with a team. Does that mean that we should not play the game ? Smurfs, cheaters, leavers, solo players queuing with a team, 3 randoms put against 3 stacks, silver against diamond and pred trails. It is absolutely not welcoming to casual players and it has been the worst season in the past 3 years.
You are misunderstanding the message from Respawn and EA and created a little scenario in your head instead of even trying to understand the words in front of you. The message is very obvious when they choose to ignore a huge portion of their player base and the issue they are experiencing in the game. If they don't do anything to fix those issues, they are getting rid of the player of are experiencing them. Players have voiced these issues and Respawn choose to ignore it.
We are not a few, we are a big portion of the player base being only casuals solo queuers and nothing has been done to improve our gaming experience, as all the other post about the game being unplayable for casual are saying, cause there just wouldn't be any other posts if the issue didn't exist for casuals. You even said it yourself that we are more than a few casual players :"[...]get rid of their biggest costumer base, that is also their biggest source of income."
It is not because YOU are not seeing these issue that they don't exist. It is not because you have food in your fridge that other people are not starving. It is not because you have a warm coat that others are not cold. You and your experience are not the definition of everybody else and their game experience in apex.
Congratulations on having a good time in the game. You can get back to it and stop commenting casual player's post only to say how YOU are having a good time.
I see that you did kinda take offense to what I replied and I apologize for that as it was not intended.
I did not imply that everyone is having a good experience and that their issues are not real issues.
The game is a team based game and yes solo's are teamed with other Randoms to play as a team and that does not always go well.
Finding others to play with would mitigate this.
For those that cannot find others to play with it will always be tougher for them.
For those that do not want to play with others well that is their problem.
I agree with you on a lot of points:
Smurfs need to be squashed. If it were possible I would say each player only be allowed to have one account. However this would be very hard to enforce. One could limit the amount of Smurfs by using phone verification when making an account.
Raising the entry level to play ranked to 50 or even 100 would also discourage but not eliminate Smurfs from ranked.
As far as how players play the game we can not change how others play the game only how we play with others. I do not like hot dropping with 3-5+ teams in ranked or pubs for that matter if the JM decides to do this most of the time I will do my own thing and drop close by in case they survive, otherwise it is their own bed they made and I can not change that and should not be punished for not joining them in their foolhardiness.
For ranked play I believe that it would be best if a player can only play with (team up with) other players that are not more than 2 tiers above them or below them and should also not be matched against any other players that are more than 2 tiers above or below the team rank tier avg. this would tighten up ranked play and actual have similar skilled players playing against one another. Pubs MM needs to also be tightened up. I have been in matches where I see the previous champion sqd state and they have a player with 15K kills on their one legend, I am not in that skill level and should never play vs such players but it happens and I agree with you it needs to stop.
While we are at it EA/Respawn needs to stop catering to the pro players and streamers and also to the masters and pred players they may be the best players but they make up less than 5% of the player base.
Soo you see I do see that the problems exist and need fixing. I am a casual player and yes I solo play a lot also, and not every solo game I play is a good game I am just lucky enough that most of them are satisfactory.
I do not think I have ever used the term "Get Good" and like I said I am not trying to be rude or offend anyone.
However I do think that this was a little rude on your part "Congratulations on having a good time in the game. You can get back to it and stop commenting casual player's post only to say how YOU are having a good time.". I can look past that for now.
Please do keep highlighting these issues as they do need to be fixed however I will keep telling players that the easiest way to fix the issue regarding solo Q is to find friends to play with because until EA can improve the Solo Q experience this is what one would have to do to mitigate that.
I do know that EA is working on some MM balancing that should be coming out in late December/early January lets hope it helps and is not just another a pro mentioned a problem that they perceived and makes things worse for casual players.
Best of luck to you @DestineeQc
@Asmodeus566 you literally changed your speech 180° when you realized everyone else was calling you and your trolling comments on other casual players' posts out.
And then you went on listing the solutions I posted in my comment, with slightly different words.
You started with "ah the solo Q's complaints" and ended with "I totally agree with you". You are incoherent from a message to another.
What I said wasn't rude. Your oblivious attitude is coming off rude to every "solo Q complainers" while you're dismissing our experience because yours is different.
It is very obvious from other comments that you have been doing this for a while and that it is not appreciated by other people on the forum. This forum has a nice little XP button showing how appreciated (or not) comments are.
"I can look past that for now." I suggest you look past the next posts about this subject as well. The casual players' trying to discuss about the issues we are experiencing will be happy to not have to argue with someone spreading how much they have a good time and stating that the issue is the actual casual player for not having friends online at the same time as them to play with.
