“I’m done with this game”
How many times have you exclaimed this or a similar sentence for Apex, all the while closing off your window or computer entirely, your game or your console entirely or for the real fanatics screamin...
@Koochi-QWell it is hard to learn to loot, what guns are garbage, what guns are good, what scopes are good and on what guns. how to build good guns and manage inventory. What legends are good, what legends are not.. how to use those legends abilities. Learning where to land, how to rotate the map.. then there is learning how to prioritize attachments, bigger heavier guns get the better stocks, while guns like the R-99 get the barrel mods.
You have to learn all of that while getting destroyed by people who know what they are doing. Even if you have friends who will try and carry you and teach you.. it’s a lot of information to absorb and it’s not like you can focus on just one aspect at a time. Toss in that when I do it, sitting there with a noob and having him list his inventory to me as I tell him what to dump and what keep.. all while trying to keep the team moving.. most new players get really overwhelmed.
My friend and I were carrying a new player last night and trying to teach him. He was really really overwhelmed. My friend was frustrated at first, I had to remind him we were all noobs at some point. My friend also wanted to play at the fast pace that me and him typically do, but our third could not handle it. I had to manage that and continually reassure the new player. He was feeling guilty about it all.. I’d also look for opportunities that I knew the noob could handle. Maybe my friend and I would down 2 from a squad and the third was not a good shot. That or i’d be a bullet sponge and let the noob engage a solo, knowing if things got out of hand I could melt the solo. It was a challenge but it was fun for me. The new player was stressed and you could tell.. I just kept reassuring him and told him I went through it.. you just have to push through you’ll pick it up with time.
