3rd party fest
I know this is a BR and 3rd party is part of the system, but i feel that lately player's just sit around for entire games waiting to 3rd party other teams. No one wants to get into a fight because...
@hayhor i don't understand how sbmm hurts anyone( maybe am missing something in there), of course 3rd party will always be a thing but like @F5arTheB5ard said ( and something that i had not thought of) you can hear gun fights way too far to from you location, yes with no sound at all it would be awful but maybe tone it down a bit and what about creating echos so we can't pin point the location of the gun fight with such a high degree of precision( last nigh my team went to third party 2 teams fighting Between bunker and Market we heard them when we where between Labs and the Cage this is just too far.
I think that having premades or not in your lobby is just a matter of a) randomness from the server allocation of players and b) whatever algorithm Respawn uses to select how to fill a lobby.
I don't mean we have to punish premades ( i solo q most of the time but i also have a people to play with) so i can see both sides of this idea), what i mean is create the choice for player to selecet what kind of lobby they can join:
Mixed lobby, soloq/premade only.
Regarding Sbmm: dunno if having a sbmm lobby and non-sbmm lobby would work but it could also be an option.
i think you can agree that is harder for solo q player than for any premade squad ( specially considering that most random squad do not have comms and are not used to play together this in it self is an advantage a big one) and aren't we punishing soloq atm just because some people prefer so play alone ( i do this sometime to relax from a hard day ) or even people who don't have anyone in their roster that play's apex ( i went a full year without my friends jumped on apex as they were playing other titles) and possibly many more valid reasons that i am not thinking of.
Btw thank you for your response, i would like to say that am not "complaining" per say am just presenting my point of view on 3rd party lately, at the same time trying to come up with a possible solution while people can share their own experience on the subject and maybe other ideas to solve improve the game ( ty or that ). Have a great weekend :D
