How's Everyones' Games?

I've played for about 2 hours tonight, since S7 is coming and that R99 skin is the most immaculate thing to grace this disgustingly unpolished mudball of a planet, I decided I needed to get back into the groove of playing. 

Needless to say, I was massively out-performed my teammates save for 3 instances, and SBMM continues to make me play like I do this for a living in order to have a smidgeon of a good time.

  • Ehhh, the usual sweaty lobbies combined with the fact the game seems to be stuttering like hell today.

    Fun times.

    When you get the last kill of the game with a snipers shot.

    Worth the other 9 games I had to play to get there.

    That's why I'm still here.  The cycle through the games is a mill, but the reward can be worth it.

  • I've played for about an hour and a half this morning. I stopped playing consistently on 8/31/2020, about 2 months ago with literally no Apex from then until now, and my aim is bad. I'm not hitting what I should be hitting, and that's just one of those things you get back with practice. 

    Yet somehow, I'm still beating my teammates in damage, kills, decision making, etc. etc. My third game this morning, I had a Gibralter call his ulti down on a teammate, then run through it subsequently killing himself. Guy was level 250. Had a Pathfinder grapple straight into the middle of 3 squads all shooting at each other and then died shortly after. A Mirage who wants to shoot at a target with a Hemlok that's 150 meters away burst fire. 

    2 months without playing Apex, and I'm still out-performing my team, while still facing the same Predator / Diamond / Master players I always have. There's a problem that needs to be addressed here, and it certainly isn't me. I'm really starting to rethink my decision to practice for S7.

    I honestly feel like SBMM has been ramped up to ensure lower-skilled/casual players are winning and in a good mood to spend money on Tuesday. My pubs have been absolutely ridiculous. I’m a Masters level player and I haven’t been able to get a win for the past 10 days.

    I think its sort of ridiculous that my boys (Gold level players) consistently out perform me in their own games (higher kills, damage, wins) and I’m stuck battling the top 200 players in the world and suffering.

    This is the way it should be right? Being in the top 2% of players and having a lower win ratio and KD than people in the lower 60%??

    I’m extremely disappointed in people who are against skilled players having better performances than lesser skilled players.
  • @pastaclown My games were good today. I didn't think I'd be able to make it back to Play with all the server issues, but servers were behaving today, had some decent games with some decent teammates & I made it! Now just trying to finish my last 2 weekly challenges before the season starts.
