Why I will be uninstalling Apex Legends.
Been playing this game for something like a year and 3 months. An average player, I worked my way to level 500. Before reaching this level, as a solo queuer, I had a good mix of squads i.e. noobs, average players, seasoned players, and good players. As I enjoyed the game, I spent money on it and have played nearly every day.
However, since achieving level 500, and particularly in Season 8, all I get is noobs/low ranks in my squad. These players either run off and die 1 v 3 at the start, or loot, loot, loot, and then die immediately upon first contact. This leaves me to 1 v 3 - which does not end well for me. I have just played for approx. two and a quarter hours. In that time (around 25 - 30 games) I saw 2 squadmates with more than 400 kills. Most of my squadmates have less than 100 kills or are under rank 100! I am sick and tired of this!!!!
WTF is going on here? I am wasting my time playing this game. The game is now unplayable for me; it never used to be like this. I do NOT want a squad that constantly consists only of noobs. Infact wouldn't it be better to put all players of a similar rank together? Let the noobs have their own server. The easiest thing to do would be to split servers by rank. I don't want to be playing with ranks below, for example, 250.
This is not only ruining my gaming experience but those players that get put in my squad - since I have taken to the habit of leaving most games at the start when I see what I have been matched with. Thereby leaving 2 noobs to run 2 v 3 for their game. I have absolutely no intention of wasting time in those kind of games anymore. I spent the best part of an hour and a half leaving games tonight. I think I had 2 decent squads.
There is just no need for this. Players could be matched according to a rank range when solo queueing - or at least have that option.
And Ranked games are a complete no go: I get the same inexperienced players and if I die I am forced to sit and watch them loot and die or get a penalty if I leave the game.
As I said it never used to be like this for me. - This is only since achieving Rank 500. Well, I will not be creating SMURF accounts, nor spending any more money on this game, until I get my game back. I will wait to see what happens in season 9 and when it turns out the same, as I expect it will - I will uninstall.
