Differentiating randoms + lil rant

After the start of season 2 all of my friends have quit Apex. They are not coming back. Some are on PUBG others Fortnite and some Black Ops 4. I have been playing straight random games for about 2 weeks now. It has been frustrating at times and rewarding at other times. I have found the bad thing for me in randoms is if I have a bad game it reflects that my skill level or game awareness is crap. Usually it is because my pitbull decided to jump in my lap while I was just targeting someone in the distance and popped a shot off over their head. More likely I just had a case of first person shooter jitters whichever the case I suck sometimes and will be the first to admit it. Playing pre-made allows for some forgiveness, but in randoms well you are only as good as the current game. 

Randoms are just that random, some good some bad but like all things on a curve the majority of players fall in the middle. The biggest problem is playstyle, there is no factor given when going into a lobby to get teammates that have your playstyle.  For me I play differently almost every game, if I have white shied and a p 2020 and a longbow or triple take I am going to be seen as a camper edge guarding the storm. Loadouts and gear will always direct how I play, I am simple that way. Now I have 2 teammates in this same scenario who have the good fortune of purple shield and kitted 301's or whatever they fancy, they push a squad and I am sniping I will not cower away I push with them and turn my sniper into the most brutal shotgun I can wield. I will probably go down, it happens. 

My point is everyone plays how they play, you can either adapt "your" play to theirs as much as you can or you can try to force "your" style on them. I have played with several randoms lately who had several thousand kills, some were good teammates some were bad. The worst thing you can do as a teammate in this game is run off with no pinging and expect your teammates to read your mind. My wife will attest to this, I CAN'T READ MINDS. 

I don't particularily enjoy the random games, but I have zero interest in finding a bunch of new people to play with on a game I might not be playing a month from now. Just my opinon on it, so I will random until I get burned out on all of the disconnects, jumping hopping players and just move on to something more relaxing. 

If any of you ever wind up playing with me let me apologize up front if I have a bad game. BTW on a side note I am not stealing anyone's kills just as they are not stealing mine,it is a team game right, trackers aside who gives a crap? I have a decent amount of kills already 1 or 4 more aren't going to make me a better player.
