It's just about every game now - nobody misses a shot. It's ridiculous.Whether you're fighting someone who's level 5 or Predator, it doesn't matter.Every fight is super sweaty, and people are playing as if their life depended on it.I have over 15000 kills in this awful game, around 3-4 KD each season. I don't know if that's good or bad, but so far, I can hardly win a fight. And my shots don't even hit. Literally shooting at someone who's crouched in a corner, who then slowly moves to the right as they're shooting my teammate - still, only one or two of my shots hit the guy, with 26 bullets in the mag.Like, where am I supposed to aim if not directly at the guy? It's not even bullet drop at this point - he's standing right infront of me...Am I the only one experiencing this?

Same, I get one magged pretty much all the time. Does not matter if someone is level 30 or a pred. It is insane. It truly feels like everyone is using strikepacks or something. I have no other explanation.

@Cheese9Man I get it, I know. But I swear, 90% of the time the enemies are just a copy paste of each other that never miss a shot. Meanwhile here I am struggling so much with it despite the many hours I passed on training myself. Seriously, it makes me feel like I am disabled or something.Like come on, surely there are people out there just like me that have trash aim, right? The question is, why is it so hard for the game to match me with them?Also, I jumped into a ranked BR game, just for the heck of it. Very first game, the champion squad had a bronze 4 low level Wraith, but with the 20 bomb badge. Yep, I am outta here.

@BIamBoozIeNot sure if you're saying that it's always like this, and always has been, or that this is something your experiencing just since the start of the new season.I'm experiencing it just since the start of the new season. It's definitely a matchmaking thing. I've always been in scrub lobbies, but not this season. Every single match I've played on Broken Moon is the following:1. Squads landing in a fairly even distribution, making cross-map movement impossible. This is something scrubs don't do.2. Squads camping bottlenecks, of which this map has many, and again, something scrubs don't usually bother to do.3. Enemies shooting over great distance with short-range weapons and landing EVERY SINGLE BULLET. Something, I'm sure it goes without saying, scrubs cannot do. And something that I certainly can't do.4. Enemies playing as an organized squad - they hang together and fight together. Something scrubs never do.In previous seasons these types of squads were rare in my lobbies. Now they're all there is. They can hear you across a POI and they will hunt you down. They will shoot you off a zip rail. They will chase you outside the circle. They seem to be able to shoot through solid objects. They are the definition of thirst.Strike packs? Aimbots? Anti-recoil? Wall hacks? I don't know and I don't care. If they're that good, assisted or not, cheating or not, they shouldn't be in my lobbies. The game is acting like there just aren't enough players for sbmm to work properly. But that's BS.

Sliding, strafing i seem to always do 140-148 and they walk away with me down. Idk if its my internet or what but its a problem. Not to mention why the eff are so many people level 10? I simply don't understand how the same manuvers that make me miss. NOONE MISSES ME EVER.Aim assist is THE meta now. Pretty much everyone I get teamed up with are using controllers on PC. Aim assist looks for hit boxes, not character models. It smooths out stuttering, because it'll aim through all of that.In contrast, on a mouse, if the game stutters, it'll throw off my aim. If there's too many particle effects, I'll lose track of an enemy. If hit registration, networking, lag comp, or any other thing is not working properly, it'll throw off my aim or won't register shots. Using a Longbow later at night, can't hit a thing. During the day, people comment how well I do with it.Servers are 20hz tick rate? I get why, but when a main component of your game is aiming, and how well you can land shots, that's VERY low.Plus, on top of all of that, you have people using scripts with different hardware, and then just out right cheaters.

might be connection/lag related issue. Check your settings and make sure nothing's been changed. Sometimes after updates, your settings change.

some guns have bad recoil and some guns take aim and some guns have no aim assist. some guns like the heavy auto rifle have low recoil with purple stock and ads 1x 2x and have aim assist just ads pull the trigger and purple mag your good.
i have fun playing just to try guns sometimes it takes half the season just to find a good gun i should play more in the firing range now i think about it.

@BIamBoozIeits probably a combination of things . . . matchmaking, network latency, time of day, time during the season, region you are playing on, your mood, etc.

When I play in prime time for the US east coast about 2/3rds through a split and am in a pre made squad, I typically get melted in milliseconds by squads of perfectly coordinated murder bots that never miss a shot and always know exactly where I am at all times. It is the perfect storm for me to get abused. I should really know better, but I keep playing anyways.

I've noticed in the last few seasons that I always do very well in the first two weeks of a season and am always fighting for first place with my team and have a positive K/D, but after that it gets harder and harder. At some point I hardly win a fight anymore and I have the feeling that every opponent hits every shot. By the way, I have 1934 hours of gaming experience in Apex. Why is it easy at the beginning of a season and then becomes so incredibly difficult. And no one should say that this is due to matchmaking. I would find that implausible, because why should I be classified differently at the beginning of a season.

@FlitzumdieEcke There is this thing called EOMM that EA has a patent on and they say it isnt used in Apex (pinky promise). Idea is to get you hooked on the game. Read more with google "Dopamine and gaming".

Another thing is the playernumbers.
https://steamdb.info/app/1172470/charts/ you can see the playerbase goes up on every new season meaning there are more casual players available. Eventually most of those casuals call it quits and only ones left are the sweats and those who didnt get the memo 🙂. MMR or SBMM doesnt mean a thing if there just isnt enough players to execute it.

That all sounds reasonable. I should have been able to figure out the possible influence of the fluctuating number of players myself.
