Forum Discussion
@Anlbrd Sorry. I have been discussing with you, but actually using other peoples complaints for the discussion. I think we are on a similar view but from slightly different sides.
I have, and do play with some amazing players who are super aggressive. This works well in "pubs" and they certainly know how to play. Timing a push is crucial imo. Approach from a good position and time when to hit your opponent. I agree you cannot just sit back, but knowing how and when to engage is key imo, especially playing other good players. This is the style everybody wants to emulate, but their skillset lets them down.
Then there are super aggressive players who "think" they are good but blame campers/game mechanics for their downfall. These are the rush but no thinking type of players. These are the players I have an issue with. It come from many years playing FPS and playing with "forum greats" who turn out to be rage quitting stat padders, so I'm a BIG cynic when it comes to people claiming their "skill" on an internet forum.
None of my remarks have been directed at you personally, but at the players who think this ranked structure will hurt their kills and how they may not get as high in rankings because of the game, and not because they are not as good as they think they are.
I'm hoping this system does put greats up against greats, and I will play players closer to my skill level and I think it will, but all I seem to be reading from some people is "KILLS, DAMAGE = SKILL ARRGH".
I want every player to be able to play however they want, and I think they will. The higher ranks should be a more balanced experience, but I can't help but feel some people are going to not like playing players who are as good as them, or playing against players who play in a less face tanking manner, which then leads to come here to say "campers ruin it" which they have zero evidence of.
Sorry if my previous came over as directed at you. I don't envy Respawn trying to balance this. Just look at all the differing views on here, but I do feel they will adjust it correctly and over time this will be truly great.
P.S I have witnessed many high kill players who just don't care for the win. If they kill 3 or 4 people early game in 2 minutes they are happy to die and find a new game. That is not skill. That is padding stats to "look" like you are good. This is why stats in the pre game lobby mean nothing to me. It is zero sign of how well you play.
I hope I made my point without to much of a ramble, and didn't go round in circles. Some of my problem is I am cynical lol. I also respect Respawns designs decisions. It's them that have brought the game to us in the first place and I hope they stay true to their vision.
From one cynic/pessimist to another - I'm still bloody hyped for tomorrow. If nothing else the game is going to be rammed full of everyone trying to make sense of a new map, new legend(s?) and a new mode. It's set to be a good day.

@Silz616100% get it mate and you're right on the money about a certain kind of player who isn't going to enjoy it. I understand what you're talking about now. I haven't taken anything you've said as a personal attack, I thought we were just talking past each other a little bit - hence the need to clarify.

I'm hyped to. I love this game and have had a few years out of FPS as nothing really grabbed my attention (same old same old kinda thing). Apex is great as every game throws up something new.
Happy hunting fellow cynic 🙂
