COMPLETLELY DONE with APEX S25

I can honestly say at this point that my expectations of new seasons are always tempered by previous experience, mostly bad. I didn't expect Sparrow to be anything interesting or anything dangerous, and unless you're a hyper competitive rank grinder then he really isn't.

Ash is still a joke but I guess I've made my peace with that.

The new servers, so far, seem to be working okay for me.

One thing I have definitely noticed lately, since the beginning of this season, is much MUCH tighter matchmaking. My gray bars are so narrow that the red line almost fills it up every time. That is something I never thought I'd see. There are, of course, still many players in any given match who are running a secondary and don't belong where the matchmaker is putting them. So it's not all sunshine and roses. But it's still a huge improvement over... pretty much ever. And I'm not waiting appreciably longer for matches. So I don't understand why it took so long for this to happen. But I'm glad it did.
