I decided after taking some time off by skipping S17 to give Apex another try.
Can see things totally different know. Previously I blamed quite a bit EA / Respawn for the game problems. But now I see its not so much the Respawn problem. Cant fix idiotism with MMR/SBMM. Ranked especially. SoloQ hard stuck bronze because people push fights that make no sense. 18 teams left and Wkey like a headless chickens into deathbox. If I join them I get the same. If I dont, I get the toxic spam of being coward, cant aim, no good and therefore rat etc for the next xx minutes. Still they stay for the free LP which just shows the character of these people. Last night I ratted one game with hotdrop fools who decided to change direction midflight and got 2nd place with a full squad wipe on the 3rd placed team as I managed to surpise them on the final circle. Second place felt so much better than any win because of the above. However this was the unicorn match for me. Rest of the matches I just lose and lose LP.
Randomized idiotism in a team based game is why this game has so many cheaters even in pubs. People feel like they cant rely on their teammates to have doubledigit IQ and still want the dopamine from the winning. Some time ago I saw some propose a playstyle SBMM which would be awesome because you cant really fix the problem otherwise on a free to play game.
And dont get me wrong. I have a poor KD, mediocre aim with MnK. Definitely not above average gamer. Not trying to flex here. What I do have is some tactical understanding though.
