3 Stack Tryhards in Pubs
Such a joke. People are trying to have fun on pubs, what's with all these 3 stacks trying so hard? Maybe they're doing bad in ranked so they go to pubs to make themselves feel better. I'm so q'ing...

@swift07 I swear... the idea that ranked is "serious" and unranked is "casual" has got to be one of the biggest misconceptions in all of gaming. I think the real differentiator is skill level. If you're experienced then you play that way no matter which lobby you're in. And if you're inexperienced then you play that way - in ranked or in unranked. The idea that experienced players only play ranked lobbies, and newbies only play pubs, is not true at all.
A higher portion of the playerbase are casual players and a majoriy of them don't play ranked or haven't even left bronze. Do you think they like facing 3 stacks of diamond and above tryhards in pubs? No, that is why so many people complain about pubs being too sweaty. If they wanted to play that way, they would just play ranked. Actually, ranked might be easier for most people who don't have a 3 stack because they would be in lower tiers. It's just not good for the game for casual players to have to be in lobbies like this. I solo q and a lot of times my teammates are lower level and not that good, then we get sweated on by 3 stacks of diamond plus players. Do you think these teammates of mine are having fun? Probably not. I can hold my own but when I have to face all 3 of these players after my team dies and they're still sweating on me, even tho I'm the only person alive, is just lame. I get it, some of these people want to stroke their egos by going into pubs and destroying casual players, good for them. My issue is, Respawn needs to do a better job with matchmaking.
Bro it is a total joke now, I mean how can they not realise that 3/2 stacks in pubs is a huge advantage.... guess they will learn when all solos stop playing. Wonder what the percentage of players are solo vs 2/3 stacked, maybe it's like 5% so they not bothered. Honestly I loved this game but I'm giving up now as solo no longer viable... sad day
@swift07I think the issue is with the type of game, i.e. BR, rather than pubs vs ranked.
Considering issues such as bad hit reg, no step sounds, cheaters, it seems quite plausible that being eliminated would be the norm. In a way, expect to be eliminated way more often then winning.
An interesting question is, how do pros do when they defeat all odds and also the cheaters match after match?
Are they in preferential lobbies where hit reg are better, there are less cheaters, sound works better?
Or, what exactly is going on, perhaps are they cheating themselves too?
It is not unreasonable to also take into account the existence of outliers --pro players are way better than the most.
Finally, if Apex makes your experience miserable, why playing it?
Usually it boils down to some excuses such as, but movements... but mechanics.... etc.
APEX is not the only game with good movements and mechanics.
What I believe does not work is trying to force one's way through it. This approach, the brute force approach, might work for single player games, but not with a PVP competitive game where you fight other sentient beings.
Call players bots or not, even a bot can give you a greater challenge than an AI...
Just my opinions.
