Am I doing as poorly as I think?

@LLcraigJ0302 Yeah unfortunately the meta legends will get selected before you can select them. It's good to have a few you enjoy.

What do you think you are having the most trouble with? Is it aim? Is it reaction time? Do you get jumped unexpected a lot? Are you getting well kitted before fighting? Curious to know how your games usually start?

@hayhor I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong. The better equipped I am, the worse I seem to do. I try to not spend too much time looting while still getting at least one above average weapon and anything as a back up. I'll try to ping somewhere on the map to rotate to, unless the team has already making their way somewhere. My shooting definitely needs work. I even downloaded that Aim Lab, but I don't really understand playing something else, just so I can play this. I get that practice is a big part of learning anything, but I keep asking myself how long it's gonna take before I stop hating myself after every game and if I have it in me to try that hard.

@LLcraigJ0302 Stopping hating yourself is up to you. And by that I don't mean getting better, I mean looking at what happend with a positive outlook and understanding it doesn't always work out. This is a game you lose the vast majority of the time.

@LLcraigJ0302 When I play the BR solo I use this methodology;
1. wait to drop somewhere unlabeled after half or more of the teams have dropped.
2. look at the mini map for reds following you down, turn 180 to avoid them.
3. land and loot, loot, loot. Ignore the voice in your head telling you about the ring.
4. now find a nice hide spot inside the ring. crouching under buildings, stairs or dark corners.
5. inspected inventory, listen for footsteps (other players are very noisy) doors and gun fire.
6. wait in you spot until the next ring is announced and use stealth to get there.
7. once you are in the top 2 to 5 teams you will at least receive a bucket of XP for survival time, +300 for being in the top 5.

Arenas and BR with teams, I help out as much as I can. It helps to have open mic and headsets. Get everyone on the same page, as to what you plan to do for the team. Losing a match doesn't make you a poor player, we win together or lose together, simple as that. Also remember not all players here will speak English, just be patient with others.

@LLcraigJ0302 Add me XxArawnxX I’ll play idc I just play for fun anymore my k/d is a mere 1-1.10 consistently season over season thanks to Annmarie sometimes I have great games sometimes I get throttled but hey I move on.

@XvArawnvX Last time I played with someone that made a similar offer, I ended up jumping right off the map. I was mortified and immediately disconnected out of sheer embarrassment. Haven't loaded the game since. On top of that EA seems to have zero communication with complaints. I made the case about a simple missing apex pack from level 45 of the battle pass. The only contact I've had was automated emails that directed me to the place I just submitted the claim. There was even a pair of emails, one with a code and the other asking for said code. Upon providing the code, I get another automated response saying they don't monitor those emails. How exactly was I supposed to give you the damn code then? All this is making me want to boycott EA games. I would have rather they just flipped me off and said "sucks to be you".

@LLcraigJ0302 Are you sure the pack was missing? Many times you get the BP reward after a game but it doesn't notify you until after your next game. So you open the pack when it appears, play the next game, get the notice and think you didn't get it. This also happens for items in the BP.
