Old v New Profile Accuracy

Has anyone noticed in Apex, when using a new profile with the same setup as your old profile that hits knocks and kills seem to be greater. Apart from appearing as a beginner to others and dealing with all the negative assumptions that come with this change e.g high ranked players quitting when knocked or just being ignored when pinging health issues (I feel I need to say here I dont care for gamer stats as much as others) I feel this change has had an overall positive effect on my game. What might cause this? I play the same way in all game modes and I'm more accurate each time I switch to my new profile. This is noticed across all characters. Remember I use the same in game settings. I do appear to have the same bugs that are still associated with my older profile. So I'm wondering apart from game bugs we are aware of is there some sort of residual impact on profiles overtime I'm not aware of? Any insights a plus please.

@DoYaSeeMeI agree SBMM would likely factor in time played.

The guys that mentioned this issue to me were in my lobbies on both old and new accounts though.

@apostolateofDOOM Can also be a psychological factor, as players usually stress less about the stats of their smurf accounts and get more gutsy in their play.

@DoYaSeeMe Perhaps.

So nothing will effect your account or in game stability over time that can be resolved by creating a new one?

@apostolateofDOOM I don't see how... Maybe older account legends wear more legendary skins and come with more quips and finishers, so there's extra stuff to load in the match for them... but I highly doubt that can cause a notable issue.

@apostolateofDOOMSimply put..I've never been very accurate with say a g7scout or a wingman. I've dropped these in the past because I wouldn't get a hit register. Fast forward a year.. with a new profile and without adjustments, hits are registering. Reset my old profile settings to reflect my new one and nothing seems to have improved. How am I imagining this? I dont think I can articulate it any better. Using wraith more helps I'm sure but I also find more gold. I gained a few insights. Thanks guys.
