Is Ping actually factored into the matchmaking system?

@xMaxrayx  It's in other games, I'm perfectly aware of that, however its much more pronounced in this game, hence my complaint.

I'm gonna assume here that you're a FPS hardcore yourself so I would imagine you've noticed the difference.

@hayhor  in a 1v1 fight i would have had a 3 second advantge yeah lol.  😛

Dying behind cover is not a problem. There are worst cases like enemie come out of a cover with bullets already shot or Enemie already has reached or escaped you without even passing ur screen

@MandatoryIDtagWell, for me 1 happens more frequently, 3 every now and then, when displayed ping is higher than 80-90ms and 2 is the rarest and happens usually when network is very congested or the servers are overloaded.

Most other games that usually get compared to Apex have a few key differences that have a significant effect on the time required by the server to process an update: Some use hitscan for most or all weapons (CoD, BF, Overwatch, TF, Hyperscape, etc.), some have less players or teams in a match (12 players maximum, usually 6v6 in Overwatch, 12 players in TF, etc.), some have much smaller maps and fewer props or interactibles, some have simpler / slower movement, some have simpler level design or physics, some have low TTK, etc..

I have yet to see a first person shooter that has projectile based weapons, complex movement, large & detailed maps with many interactibles, 60 players per match, fast movement and also feels great in PvP, on 60+ tickrate dedicated gaming servers only and almost never suffering from the discussed issues.
