Why is there so many people dropping, Skull town in instant dying and then leaveing ? I mean every game there is about 40 players going in the for the 3 nearest town from the ship and insta dying. 1st ring closing : 6 -- 10 squad ?If you wanna go for a full fight game go play fortnite, Cod, quake, unreal, this game HAS a STRATEGIC gameplay , positionning, not engaging in * spot ...(or its only me ?)You cant force the player to be matched with noobs and * players, therefore this game really need a matchmakingt system OR a solo queue, duo queue.. ASAP.

Because not everyone likes to waste 10 minutes passively looting only to be wiped by the first squad they come across. If I am jump master I am dropping hot or semi hot so I can determine what my squadmates are made of and If they are going to leave the second they die

I believe this mindless hot dropping exist because there is no KDR. These kids base everything off kill numbers. Even the guys are proclaimed "#1 Gibralter in the world, 1# Wraith in the world with 15k kills" its because they dont mind jumping in with the hopes of getting 5 kills on people who RNG blessed with no shields or guns. These kids are happy leaving a game after 2 minutes with 5 kills. Implement a KDR then people will get a little more cautious. Well the ones who care anyways.I know I for one would respect a 3.5KDR over 15000 kills. I know some will say well, its gonna encourage camping and the fast paced game play we love so much will cease. Go play PUBG if you want that experience. And, they would be right.So basically the only real way to please people is..... Ranked Matchmaking!!!!

Apex is very arcade by its nature, cause there's practically no strategic decision that can outbest couple of wingman headshots. For the average player, TTK is so long, that usually, someone skilled can survive the initial attack and just kill the attacker, even being surprised. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but it seriously reduces the strategic component.The first "problem" is a derivative of the second one - for many casual players, the only option to score some kills is to participate in the initial random brawl being able to get some weapons before the good players do. Also, sometimes it's fun =)

The arguments for ranked matchmaking is always much better than the arguments against.

"If you wanna go for a full fight game go play fortnite, Cod, quake, unreal, this game HAS a STRATEGIC gameplay , positionning, not engaging in * spot ...(or its only me ?)"Why do you think people must play the game your way? Let people play however they want.Me personally, I have 2500+ kills and I dont know how many wins but at least 200, so for me, "winning" a game per se gives me literally zero satisfaction. ATM, I play for three reasons: 1: get the 20 kills in one round badge, 2: get the 3000 dmg in one round badge (have 2500 already), and 3: get the kill all members in three different squads in one round badge (have 2/3). To achieve this, I MUST jump hot and early. If I play "strategically", with "positioning" without "engaging", I will NEVER get those in one round. Simple as that.So If you prefer to skulk around near the circle border, avoiding fights, just to get good placement, suggest that you find some like minded gaming friends and play premade instead.

Why are people so bad/* at this game ?

Implement a KDR then people will get a little more cautious. Well the ones who care anyways.

Well, it's pretty obvious what you are "made of". It stinks. Go find a game without teams. Unfortunately, and this may just be my own experience and observation, but eastern European players seems to be worse at team play, than others.

You see the thing is, ranked match making will make everyone equal, which is the point of it. But if everyone’s equal, then how are things like 20 kill games going to happen? They’re not. It won’t be possible. If you wanna go camp and loot the whole game, great. Either hope your squad wants the same, or find a squad that wants to, or go on your own. No ones stopping you. This isn’t competitive CSGO. This is a public game. Ranks are not needed

Because for many of us that's the fun, either you die a second after landing or get a gun and survive that initial chaos and ride that momentum all the way to the finish. Landing in the * end of nowhere and looting your way to the end rarely works.And a KDR would encourage camping which is a horrible strategy that my duo experienced yesterday, we were the second place team with 9 kills between us and got wiped by the last team camping on a cliff, I don't want that to be a common occurrence in this game because someone doesn't like to die a little

I totally disagree. I have plenty of podium finishes and most of them I got when teaming up with smart players who take their time and rather avoid hotspots to begin with. You see, you don't have to be rubbish at fighting 1vs1, just because you are intelligent enough to avoid it and act with patience, in order to win.
You guys wouldn't last 10 secs in a real war.
