With the blessing of our top dog & forum overlord @hayhor I’d like to propose a game (I haven’t asked him but I’m in his good favor atm so I think it’s fine).It’s the game where I ask a question and a multitude of you answer with that you agree or disagree (you may even state your convictions as to why if you’d like) and after that’s done, I’ll bring forth another statement/question that you can (dis)agree on... TO INFINITY!First one: if you play Apex for a minimum 3 hours each and every day, or the equivalent of that in any time/playorder, you should at least have 90 wins each Battlepass season?Do you agree or disagree? [EDIT] Question 2 is at post 32 or 33...

Disagree.Your odds of winning actually seem to decrease the more skilled you are as a player. Chiefly due to the MM system.Playing premades certainly improves your avg placement per match however unless all 3 players are well above avg the chances are your lobbies will still be a cluster foxtrot.

@MandatoryIDtag Oh I definately agree premade teams can make it harder. We can be doing fine in a match and just get steamrolled by a 100k kill team. It happens a lot. I'm not saying wins are easy but playing with people on the same page as you definately helps as far as wins go.

@hayhor Yeah it does in comparisonto solo queues, I should've been clearer on that.The problem is when there's 2 of you playing as a party in trio's. As you'll get matched with 3 stacks, and because of how the MM works you'll end up with some poor sod of around level 30-80 who is just wayyyyy out of his league lol.Our average game of trio's in a duo stack ends up with us down a player almost instantly due to them being outclassed and then insta leaving when knocked.Yes we could play duo's....but its a 3rd party hell hole and bad for my stress levels. XD

@MandatoryIDtag It's better than ending up with 2 of these low level sods. :P

@BaldWraithSimp lmao true, although I'll take two level players over 2 high level noobs any day. If you've hit level 500 and still can't grasp basic BR concepts then there's something very wrong.

I agree BUT depending on who you play with. If you play with friends its way easier to win.

@Cheese9Man 1 win per 3 hour session? Sounds like solo-queuing all right.

Disagree.

Some people just find Wins hard to come by, and especially if you PUG. Doesn't mean you won't have wins.
I think you can just chalk it up to a good goal is have 1 win per 20 games or more, and that is regardless of how much time you play. And even if you don't get that goal, as long as you are really enjoying playing then keep going.
If you are playing 3 hours a day, I don't know what that translates into number of games, but a 90 game win person would be logging (simple math) 1800 games. If you played 12 games a day, roughly, that'd be 150 days of gaming. Rather a lot. You might play more than that a day but I'm not sure that's healthy for a lot of people. Just you, Koochi :D

@BaldWraithSimp Definitely is

@KelRiever I respectfully disagree with that statement xD (sprays fine it hilarious when someone says that xD). 3 hours a day for each day can be ALOT more than 1800 games for a season. If you die alot, you can do alot more. I’ve had hours where I did over 40 games xD. times that by 3... 120 games in 3 hours... times that by 90... lets make it a cool 100 and thats 12K hours! xD. That just solidifies how sucky it can be if you constantly die in first min XD.

3 hours x 90 = 270 hours played. Not being able to get 90 wins at least in that case just screams bad decisioning. A good match is usually 10-15... So 4-6 games... times 3 is 12-18... times 90 = 1080-1620. That many games for 90 wins... is an 5-8 win rate which is quite normal. But then again unless you’re really good and basically always end up in top 3 you never play 12 games in a 3 hour session only. Realistically it’s gonna be between 25-40 games.

Lolz I played WAY more than 3 hours a day... but even in S5/6 where I barely played I got more than 40 wins I think... in less than 700 matches played... that’s coming from a guy who rushes stuff worse than mount Rushmore XD and who doesnt care about winning :P so an average player with winning on mind is more focused I think.

Wait how is 3 hours a day for 90 days 150 days of playing? xD or do you mean with your conversion for winning or something? xD

@Koochi-Q 5% win rate is the perfect number lol
People used to have <3% win rate previously, not implying by any means that's me 😜

@Koochi-QDecent players will but you overestimate the majority of players. So many players struggle to win period. Think of the randoms you play with. I've won games with people that act like theyve never won a game in their life too many times.

Also are we counting ltm wins that dont show up in the record for the season? If counting the ltms I win around 120 to 130 a season. I generally play close to what you mention, though I will miss a week or two each season because I am on vacation somewhere. So my average time a day is likely closer to 2 to 2.5 hours.
And keep in mind I have a friend I usually play with. It is much easier to win playing with someone you mesh with.
