However, the matchmaking algorithm and prejudiced loot system prevents any and all enjoyment in this game. Games where I get a full kit I go far, only to be killed by preds or cheaters. When I have competent teammates and not stupid bot behaving noobs (or just bots, but I'll never be able to prove it) I either match their kills and damage or far outshine them. Even a player who can only crack a shield on my team allows me to clean out enemy teams, but most of the time I have teammates who engage when they shouldn't, don't respond to pings, and can't aim or refuse to. I'm convinced this is on purpose.
Games where I land with 298341297482975429785928549275927845 P2020s 4 games in a row aren't fun. I'm convinced that the entire mission of Apex Legends is to feed average players to the highly skilled for youtube and twitch hype and literally nothing more. The entire business model revolves around exploiting players for whales.
I completely agree & I've been saying it for a while now that in many matches now some of us mere mortal players are merely there as cannon fodder & nothing more for the players with 10k plus kills under their belt.Merely struggling to find a weapon particularly in hotspots & if I do find a weapon it tends to be either a P2020 or Mozambique, that combined with bad matchmaking & a poor weapon & loot layout system across the maps in general doesn't make for an enjoyable or a remotely fun game to play.It's no wonder players are quitting the game in droves when Respawn are completely tinned eared regarding issues in the game.I have no issue taking on a Pred teams or even players a lot better than me but when they can somehow pick up a purple/gold body-shield & loaded up with decent weapons pretty much straight away when landing in a hotspot whilst I'm there with my white body-shield scrambling around for a weapon when it's pretty much a certainty they'll track you down within seconds & put you out of your unarmed misery.It's like being challenged to take part in a professional boxing match on the condition you have both arms tied behind your back.Hit box detection is terrible at the moment too.
Stop landing with half the lobby if you want good gear before fighting? There are enough POI's (with loot in them) for every team. If you contest or get contested on landing you're in the hands of the rng Gods. The game becomes more and more random the more teams landing on each other.
- @CCbathwater Sound advice but unfortunately you can't predict where everybody will land. All it takes is one team landing with me to knock out my teammates and then find me.
- @PraetorOfOlea If you wait to jump you can guarantee a spot to land without anyone else just by watching trails leave the ship.
