I never play ranked. Thought I'd give it a try. Start game, get team mate who won't shut up (no idea what he was chuntering on about, it was Russian). Only had a squad of 2. Quit -> ate penalty ...
If you're starting from Rookie it's not going to be much different from pubs. Silver is where it gets good. Bronze = Pubs, really. When people start losing -20 pts for dumb play they start taking it more seriously.
Regarding number of games - can't see your stats, here are mine... not sure how it matters though.
As for my point - each game has its goal: - sports sim - racing - shooter - RPG - logic/puzzle - etc.
Sure you can install say Need for speed and say that you are not into racing rather arts / engineering and tinker only with cosmetics but it kinda defeats the purpose, I am sure there are better tools to do that than Need for speed. Same with Apex... many come to BR shoother with somewhat fast phase, chaotic environment, on average quite stressful environment to have fun, tinker with cosmetics, have "easy" games... I mean bot lobbies?
People are asking Apex to do what it is not suppose to be doing at its core. Same like buying used BMW and asking it to go as fast as newest Ferrari while having ride quality of Bentley...
Finally I am ok with multiple mods, I don't play them just ranked (99% of a time) -> at least don't come to forums and complain about ranked after 1 game... makes no sense :)
