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.
You must be trolling :D
Don't let your emotions take over your logical brain ;) All I am saying is and can be fact proven, no blurry lines and sh, clear facts.
E.g. Typical D4 level player will complain how bad everyone is but more often than not:
a) will have bad (for Diamond at least old standard ranked system Diamond) level mechanics
b) will have 0 or close to that hours invested in aim training be it on MNK or adjusting controller sensitivity etc, just play standard DPI or 4-3 linear because "everyone does so"
c) hardly if ever will record his games and review them and see if and when he f-up
d) will not follow game, rotations just shoot what's in front or more often die and ask "where did that came from"
And the list goes one.
If you competitive what ranked is you have goals -> when you reach them -> you set new ones and continue competing. Rest is not competition, just participation to get "participation medals for all" and ranked just does not give those out in Apex, instead you get -65 RP each game in D4+. And that's normal.
Finally about "one right way" doing things: dude I play ranked super competitive and people might have problem with that, I don't. I come to pubs, I play super competitive, people might have problems with that I don't, sometimes I play pubs casually and it's ok for me not to have whatever stats because I don't care about stats especially when playing pubs.
Long story short I can do both and I cry about neither -> casuals can't really do anything besides running and gunning and cry about everything else :)
Only thing I would like this game to improve is hackers and smurfs to make top level games more honest at the same time kept playing lobbies like this today for 3+h game after game after game and still in almost D2 level :)
It was not pleasant but it was kinda fun unless #18 current Pred just hacked the s out of me and my team :) But that's ok, he probably has other problems in life too :)
Nope, no trolling. Just horrified by your view.
Elitist. Gatekeeping. You clearly think you are super-special.
Casuals shouldn't play. Pubs should be just matched with anyone making wildly unbalanced lobbies.
I am glad nobody listens to you; there would be nobody left as I would have quit ages ago as would have thousands of others if their experience is just getting smashed game after game after game which seems to be reasonable to you. I honestly have no idea what universe you live in where this is remotely a good idea; unless you just want anyone not worthy of your praise to quit. That seems to be the point.
I honestly don't get it. You seem to want to to go out of your way to make peoples experience with the game as poor as possible. How does that benefit you? Where on the dolly did the n00b player hurt you? How does it hurt you if worse players are matched up against each other without you? How does that affect the game negatively for you exactly? Don't feel special then?
Pretty horrific.
