Differentiating randoms + lil rant

I hate PC public so much because of this issue.

@Wingmannedbro @Koochi-Q It's not entirely their faults. I would say I became better at grouping with my squad around level 60+ to be fair. I tend to rush around the map looking for some action but it can be hard to tell if they're actually new or if they're veterans themselves on their alts 😪 .. but I could certainly improve at playing at their pace.

They could advance the training in the beginning to add steps, telling players some useful things like this. "Don't forget to stick with your team after you get some loot." And really emphasize it.

Or if that would be too far into the future than just ... maybe a very short tutorial in the beginning before that with flip-pages new players can click through that gives some vital info like this that a level 1 could use.

@iBlockHead  Yes the amazing ping system....It's certainly good when used correctly, generally gets pointlessly spammed though lmao.

That being said the randoms using it efficiently are usually the randoms i win games with so your point is perfectly valid. 😛

Although I've not been playing for a few days, I did recently hit gold (solo with randoms) and thought my random experience would improve. How wrong could I be. I'm still seeing far to much shoot on sight and not enough comms or pinging.

This is gold. I thought people would have more of an understanding on what's required during a competitive match, but I was wrong.

A late Artillery drop, dropping us behind x4 teams by my jumpmaster resulted in me telling them on mic "we have at least 3 teams with us", which was met by a reply in American (on London server) "can you not fight *, can you not battle?". This triggered a slanging match until we hit the ground. Needless to say he died and quit within 30 seconds.

Is it to easy to rank up? I mean it. I got to gold pretty easy without really feeling I performed well enough to achieve it so early, but now I'm coming across more and more gold players who are not interested in playing as a team, or for the win. Hot drops, suicide drops. Rage quits. The last few days has been rough. I didn't expect this of ranked. I know it'll take some time for it to settle down and players be in the correct ranking but......... I don't know what to suggest if I'm honest. Just needed to put this out there lol.

I'm average. I don't expect to climb out of gold quickly, if at all, but I would hope the quality of random improves. Maybe it's the security of not being able to drop a rank makes people settle for where they are and play like idiots?

@WingmannedbroI had a bot on my team in a pub earlier today when I was playing with a friend. We were all sorta spread out looting and when I was just 10 seconds away from him he pinged hostiles about 100 times. I pinged okay on his mark and he proceeded to get on the mic and say "nah we don't need you if you're over there" and went in and died. He then left the game and I killed that whole squad lmao.

@7cyanide 

I absolutely is their fault, nobody has an excuse for not responding to being attacked. I repeat, the situation I am describing is where they are a stone's throw away from me. They hear loud gunfire very close by, my character has audible quips when you get shot at and hit. It's fully, completely their fault.

I never played shooters before Apex, and it's not like I didn't know about if my team mate was being attacked, and I responded to it from the very first game onward.
