Not going to sit here and debate my points. Its pointless, as the devs at APEX clearly don't even review any of it. What I will say is that you comments and logic are flawed. Out of the assumed X millions of accounts purported to be active in APEX, what % of the population of apex players actually use an aim practice tool? You are also assuming that a good portion of those referenced on the "leaderboard" are APEX players. Lastly, you are assuming that those people using the tool aren't simply testing out their cheats.
Out of X millions of purported players of APEX, a very small % are using a tool to improve aim. On average, over a large enough sample size, average accuracy of X millions of accounts is most likely in the 15-20% average hit accuracy. Yet, I run into a disproportionate number of low account level players seemingly new the the game melting people with a unrealistic number of headshots and accuracy.
There are simple ways for Respawn to cut down on the number of obvious cheaters in the game. Make it a paid game and implement 2FA. Cheaters only spend money on their cheats. They also would have a much more difficult time establishing a new account after a ban if it was dependent on a mobile # for auth.
Of course Respawn would never do this. If they did, they would realize that the X millions of purported accounts are primarily multiple accounts created by cheaters or players that have previously been banned. They would lose a good portion of what they have reported as their account base and it would be even hard to fill a lobby. They had a good thing going, but they completely ruined it by bad decisions and allowing cheaters to proliferate within the game.
Ok first, we agree that pred's shouldn't be in plat lobbies, but the issue is there isn't enough players right now in the game. The vast majority of Apex Legends players are on console. The reason how I know this is duo q's are instant on console, ranked q's are instant on console, where as you can't even get into a duo match on pc, and ranked q's are 2-3 minutes in gold.
I'm assuming respawn is trying to fix this issue by adding in crossplay, which will be a good thing for the game.
As far as your opinions on cheating, when I get killed by a player that has good aim, I try to get better, and when you get killed by a player that has good aim, you call him a cheater. It's two ways of looking at a problem, one is productive, and one isn't. I'm not sure what rank you are, but I was plat 1 in my first season in just 300 hours played (my first fps game ever.) FPS games have been out for a very long time, and if you think that the average player has 15-20% accuracy you are trippin'.
You must understand that most players that play a game nowadays use tools to improve there gameplay, such as aim trainers. Every single person I play with uses them, and every friend I know that cares about fps games, uses them. Just sit in the practice range and learn the recoils from guns and you'll be lazering people at 300m in no time. There is a Korean youtuber named "aka" that has a very good video on ways to improve your aim.
A lot of players probably use anti-recoil cheats on there controllers, and that's almost undetectable. but it really isn't that much of an edge if you just learn the patterns yourself.
Going to stop responding to this thread for a bit, since you seem to have a very hard head, and don't really care to improve yourself though, GL to you!
