Pre-Stacked / SBMM / 3rd Partying

Hello, first of all I play the game from beginning. After a break of months, I played a lot the last weeks and it just makes no sense. In about 90% of the public games there is a least one very go...

Great post and welcome back to Apex after such a long time out.

Yes, I do agree with you and this is very frustrating. I am a below average player and when I am playing solo there is always some team in my lobby that is packed out with all of the badges, a massive amount of kills and what seems to be like the ability to know where everyone is on the map.

So many people complain about this, especially on the forum in fact I made a post about it today.

For me, I am a platinum level player. I have never really tried to push on out of Platinum because I find it too much of a challenge and way too much of a grind especially when I have to balance work and gaming together. My K/D this season (5) is 1.05 and I have played about 930+ games. What I can never understand is why when I have a KD like this should I EVER be going up against someone with 20Kill Badge who will have a KD of about 3.00+. It is so frustrating.

Also, it gets so much worse when you play with 2 friends in a pre made squad. In my lobbies I would say at least 40% of the lobby has Pred/Master/Diamond trails. Diamonds don't really bother me, its a challenge but Pred and Master.... REALLY APEX?!?!?!

3rd Partying is just luck of the draw btw, there is nothing they can do about it. It happens on any BR game that you play and is the WORST thing when you are on the end of it but the BEST thing when you manage to wipe a team out and are surrounded by gold and purple boxes.

I hope you continue to grind and enjoy playing, its so hard at the moment but I am sure things will get better soon.

Happy Gaming, Happy Tuesday!

There's an easy solution to 3rd parties, yet I have no clue why Respawn just doesn't implement said fix, just lower the damn gun shot sounds, they can be heard from across the map....it's definitely not just luck of the draw.

@Gabrielmojo26 Lower the gun shot sounds? It's a battle royal game, not hide and seek in the school playgrounds!

It is luck of the draw, being 3rd partied is the next worst thing after being killed by a hacker/cheater but that's part of any battle royal game unfortunately.

All you can do is shield swap and try to gain cover in order to fight back. I have won a lot of fights when I have been 3rd partied, I even won a game the other day after getting 3rd partied 3 times in a row!

  @rockyboy1998I thought this was self explanatory, I guess not lol.
  
  Yes, lower the radius of gun shot sounds and drastically reduce 3rd parties.
  
  Not sure how you can insinuate it's luck of the draw when many pre-stacks will run to said gunshots from across the map, I mean you literally see it in every video posted by decent players. Hell, I'm guilty of doing this myself.

    @Gabrielmojo26 <----this guy hit the nail on the head. The best players chase gun shot sounds.
