Mindless, careless and rude...

That's the kind of players you get when going solo in low ranked BR.

No one cares at all, and if you try to get the team together, you get very rude replies back.

I even made a test, to see what ambition people have in ranked. 

I asked my teammates 6 games in a row, what gives the most RP in ranked, pretending that I had no idea.

6/6 answered "kills", and then I told them that it was unfortunately wrong, and that placement now gives the most RP.

The replies i got:
"FU!"
"STFU!"
"I don't care..."

"so what?...."

etc....

I actually got one of the players to answer why he was playing ranked, since he didn't give a Sh....
"Because I can. I do whatever I want"

Now, combine this with the total smurf fest that BR is, and imagine the experience that a low ranked player gets from this game, that is trying to take it seriously, improve and progress.

  • I know bronze is a hot drop fest, nothing will change that.

    Silver is like bronze only some actually try get to endgame.

    Gold is a Gem at the moment, smurfs havent invaded yet and most people know what gives points and play accordingly.

    Plat, yuck - diamond and masters still working to progress into their rank, and half the lobby is still with trails. But from here and up, everyone is very serious.

    I'll include you into my apex prayer this evening to give you a better experience 😉

  • The general direction when playing solo went down the drain. I so many times feel the need need to ask my teammates, "do you actually want to win this match?" because their choices 

    and actions make no sense. I keep my mic on mute 24/7 because of the reasons you mentioned.

    It's pretty bad, but I feel like this is pretty much the norm in every game these days and that is a sad thing indeed.

    2 games that are notoriously worse is Warzone and Path of Exile. The community in those 2 games are the worst I've ever seen. Warzone is just a dark pit of toxicity and Path of Exile is seemingly overrun by people with some sort of superiority complex and if you dare to say anything other that the game is 100% perfect (although the only way at this point to have a chance at the end game content is just  to illegally buy what you need in std leagues), or just ask the wrong question when asking for advice you will have a sea of super intelligent neckbeards and white nights coming down on you like there's no tomorrow. It's truly a terrible experience.

    I look for new games every day, but there's nothing out there that grabs my attention. I feel like gaming in 2022, or actually, since the start of Covid is just not a good experience in general.

    There's this, with all the bugs and teammates and other stuff that come with it or ....just... not much else really.

  • @Nandor78 get to know the maps inside out and solo to gold. Placement points for bronze and silver are very kind at the moment.  Gold players seem to care about their points and matches also at the moment.
