Um NOPE!!! I'm begining to leave as soon as I can if my squad has any under lvl 15...if you drop right next to me I'm leaving...if you get shot at and don't ping prior to dying your on your own. If you wanna camp in a single building I'm leaving...if you launch to the supply ship I'm leaving...period
Wow. I just read through every reply you've given on this thread, and what a ride that was. To be very clear, this next part is not a trolling attempt or anything, so please hear me out here because you seem to have lost perspective on something:
You're the a**hole here.
I know that's not a great thing to read, but you are the real problem with this game. Not people who drop to airship. Not people who 'drop right next to me'. Not people under level 15 (seriously man, you quit if a teammate is under level 15? wtf). You.
The best piece of advice/perspective I can give you - from a lifetime FPS gamer since CS 1.6 - is that dropping with crap teammates is the norm, not the exception. Really. Think about the number of crap teammates you've had, and how obvious it is that they're crap. It happens a lot, right? Here's the secret - it happens to everyone else a lot too. It's an inescapable part of team-based online PvP games. You might think that you're at some kind of disadvantage because your 'teammates are trash', but odds are every single (not full premade) squad in your match contains 1 crap rando. Every good player in this game is playing with the exact same handicap you are. My friends and I have a designated 'complain about Apex thread' that is literally nothing but venting about our shittiest drops so everyone can laugh about how terrible it is. But then we put on our big boy pants and go play another game.
The problem here is that you need to change your mentality about the game. You're not playing a slot machine where the point is to constantly re-roll your teammates until you hit a jackpot. The point is to play to win with whatever team you're randomly given. Some games your teammates will be awesome, and some games your teammates will be terrible. Work with it. If you just quit because something isn't how you want it you're ruining the game for every single team you disconnect from, leaving them 2v3 for the rest of the match. You're the problem.
Now before you angrily reply back to this message - just sit there for a second. Take a deep breath. Remember this isn't a troll attempt, I'm genuinely trying to help you as someone who has always gotten unbelievably frustrated by the exact same problem you're describing. I've also, like I said, read all of your posts in this thread already and not a single point you made is a valid excuse for what you're doing.
You say you only 'play to win'? Then do it. Don't be the a**hole.

So again why should myself or anyone else with gaming xp be forced to team with brand new players? Unfortunately squads is the only game mode. Now onto below lvl 15. Maybe lvl 15 is a bit high...but I've yet to play with a player below lvl 15 to deal more than 200dmg. Sorry but pls explain to me the strategic advantage to dropping at the supply ship. There isn't one. There are disadvantages and disadvantages only. There are again normally 4-5 squads competing for 3 deck loot spawns and 3 lower floor loot spawns. It starts your game with a instant death if you don't get the gun. Now onto teammates who land next to me. Why would you land on a building with me that houses 1 gun? Now you have made a landing spot available for an enemy team and given them a chance to control spawn loot. So now my team is pinned in a building with 1 guy with gun being pushed from 3 direction. Make sense to you or does it make more sense to land in the building NEXT to me to guarantee loot and allow for combat assistance? Im not an *...like I said I play to win...I could give to craps about having fun with friends. If I was looking for fun I would go play some for campaign mode...I game for competition. Am I world number 1? Nope...am I pro lvl? Nope...but I'm damn sure not playing with ppl with 0 game sense

You're right - none of those things you just listed (again) make any tactical sense. They're definitely the decisions of people less good at the game than you.
My point is that not only do those things not excuse you for rage-quitting and ruining the game for everyone else, but that dealing with that * is actually -part- of the game. You said, "why should myself or anyone else with gaming xp be forced to team with brand new players". Well if you're not running a full pre-made of equally skilled players, then welcome to the same hell every single other good player lives in. The difference is that we're dealing with it and still winning games, while you're just quitting.
I also cannot stress enough that you, and players like you, are the ones that ruin games. Crap teammates might be crap, but at least they're there and they're playing. Over time they might even improve! I'll take a dummy teammate who can be a distraction/bullet sponge over a d/c forcing me into 2v3's for the rest of the game any day.
If you want a solo experience where you don't have to deal with * rando teammates, you're going to have to go find some other single player PvP game (or wait for AL to get solo mode).

I'm waiting for solos

I don't get you. If you so despise playing with random teammates why do you insist on ruining their game experience? Why do you not play with friends? Why not find teammates to your liking on Discord? Too lazy to search for a "suitable" Discord channel? Go the easy way and join Apex Hub - 10k active players at any time of day, you'll have no trouble finding even lvl100+ games, if you're from EU or NA.
On the other hand, you really don't sound like team player at all and you may be kicked from team after 1 game every time... But hey, maybe you can find 2 other solo players and you just drop in 3 different spots of the map and all be happy and not ruin anyone's experience.

Your right I'm anti-social as hell. Team player I definitely am. Make smart plays share loot. Make good calls. What I won't be is a game tutor. I'm not sitting in game try to convince my teammate why he shouldn't take a 301 shot at a enemy running 200m away...I'm not gonna argue with the jump master about where to go..you ping I'll go...so long as it ain't the supply ship or straight down...it's a waste of time...why waste my time dropping supply ship scrambling for a gun not getting one and then jumping off to discover that the town below has been looted. It's a waste of time. And it's not that I despise playing with random teammates. It's that I despise playing with teammates who have never played before. I despise playing with random teammates who do dumb * that'll put us behind for the rest of the match...but as soon as solos or ranked or skill based are released I'll be there...

Hitman, I agree with the other dude. You and players like you are the problem with the game.

Amen. Not trying to gloat but I got two wins tonight with a teammate with no kills and 1 kill both times. Makes you a better player.
