Apex Legends - Players who quit!
Apex Legends - Players who quit! I’ve noticed that when players you have downed quit/leave the kill is recorded in game but once you finish the match and check your stats the kill is not recorded. I...
Forum Discussion
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
Fortnite and Call of Duty have a Solo match you might find enjoyable.
Well I sincerely hope that you can't teach those sponges a thing or too in your games...cause I sure as hell don't have time too.
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...
You say that you don't want to be a tutor like it takes a whole match. You don't need to spend that much time teaching them. It takes what, three seconds at the beginning of a match to say that the dropship is a bad play. Two seconds to ask what weapons your teammates have. "Hey, it looks like we don't have any mid range, lets take care of that." If you hate playing with newbies, be the group leader. At worst, they die and you go solo. At best, lead by example and they follow your orders: swap good attachments, use your mic, be a good player and you teach them via osmosis. Back in Quake 3 we used to just play. You learned strafe-jumping, rocket-jumping and plasma-climbing by watching others. Yeah, you played with a fair few idiots, but they were useful idiots. Above all, remember that Apex is a battle-royal fps. Even if someone is at a low level, they might not be terrible. I have a job, and a family. I cant play that much, hence I'm a level 17. This doesn't mean that I don't understand the game, and don't win. I've played fps games for over 20 years, and spent more than a few playing large team based ones. these skills are largely transferable.
If you treat each new match as an opportunity not a burden, you'll have more fun, you will look better in comparison, and might even inadvertently improve others. Just remember, you quitting doesn't remove bad players from the pool. They are still out there in the ether ready to match up with you again; But if you lead by example they will become better eventually, and the pool of useless noobs will shrink.
Also note that if history is anything to go by, leaving a match early doesn't exactly place you in good standing in the inevitable skill based matchmaking. It sure would be a shame if in trying to find players of similar skill you were to be matched with other quitters... It almost seems like another popular Source engine game does this to it's players...
Hitman, I agree with the other dude. You and players like you are the problem with the game.
Holy * there are a lot of opinions here... I'm just here for the comments.
@jonesy0218 Ya this was very salt infused wasn't it.
peeps, i have a love / hate relationship with this game... i love it when the team i'm in wins or loses, because at the end we had fun... GG's all around, then it's off to the next match either with the same squad or the next. i've played games with good and bad players, i myself am not the best player nor am i the worst, but there are times where i say to myself self, after being masqueraded, THIS A STUPID GAME... but i still come back and i don't care about your stats, i just want to play... i've helped new players and have been helped during a match. I dont believe in leaving and downed teammate behind... at the start of the game i'm asked are you any good... my reply is i try not to die or get downed, but if you get hit i will be there to revive your or grab your banner... so please dont D/C... i'll be there for you.
