@Swarth2300Apex as a system outside of matchmaking has drastically improved. Many of the pain points in the bad map design are smoothed over too. However, the matchmaking algorithm and prejudiced loot system prevents any and all enjoyment in this game. Games where I get a full kit I go far, only to be killed by preds or cheaters. When I have competent teammates and not stupid bot behaving noobs (or just bots, but I'll never be able to prove it) I either match their kills and damage or far outshine them. Even a player who can only crack a shield on my team allows me to clean out enemy teams, but most of the time I have teammates who engage when they shouldn't, don't respond to pings, and can't aim or refuse to. I'm convinced this is on purpose.

Games where I land with 298341297482975429785928549275927845 P2020s 4 games in a row aren't fun. I'm convinced that the entire mission of Apex Legends is to feed average players to the highly skilled for youtube and twitch hype and literally nothing more. The entire business model revolves around exploiting players for whales.

I completely agree & I've been saying it for a while now that in many matches now some of us mere mortal players are merely there as cannon fodder & nothing more for the players with 10k plus kills under their belt.Merely struggling to find a weapon particularly in hotspots & if I do find a weapon it tends to be either a P2020 or Mozambique, that combined with bad matchmaking & a poor weapon & loot layout system across the maps in general doesn't make for an enjoyable or a remotely fun game to play.It's no wonder players are quitting the game in droves when Respawn are completely tinned eared regarding issues in the game.I have no issue taking on a Pred teams or even players a lot better than me but when they can somehow pick up a purple/gold body-shield & loaded up with decent weapons pretty much straight away when landing in a hotspot whilst I'm there with my white body-shield scrambling around for a weapon when it's pretty much a certainty they'll track you down within seconds & put you out of your unarmed misery.It's like being challenged to take part in a professional boxing match on the condition you have both arms tied behind your back.Hit box detection is terrible at the moment too.

Stop landing with half the lobby if you want good gear before fighting? There are enough POI's (with loot in them) for every team. If you contest or get contested on landing you're in the hands of the rng Gods. The game becomes more and more random the more teams landing on each other.

If you drop and go for the bins which as you said can be as random as 3 bags... that is your f-up in my opinion and instead of going for bins you had to choose a place that has items dropped on the floor = more likely to be not bags :D
Worst case, coordinated drop so that it is a fair boxing match or even better you land on top of 1-2 enemies and have a man advantage.

p.s. not using microphone (I guess that's what you mean by "headphones") is a big disadvantage as well. I use it every game even when I am not trying.

So opening a random chest & discovering 3 bags (or backpacks I guess you mean) is my fu%k-up & not genuine a fu%k-up in the game that's great logic on your part.As you say it's your opinion which to me isn't worth much but if you don't see any issues or problems in the game such as match-making,audio,teammate shortages.disconnects, screen freezing,game stuttering,lag spikes,lag spikes,persistent server issues (or is there no dodgy servers in the game & we're just playing with dodgy internet as others claim).But as long as your enjoying the game that's alright then (which is what this thread is all about) just don't expect some of us to share the same levels of enthusiasm.

I'm enjoying the game tremendously.  I'm making big improvements and the game is not suffering from issues affecting me very much, outside of the several days following launch and the last patch.  My biggest issues in previous seasons were matchmaking and team fill.  While neither has been perfect by any means, both have been much better for me overall.

Maybe we have reached the ultimate capacity of "the cloud" 🙂 finally, the internet can't keep up with the demand.

Get ready to store your pictures on memory cards / CDs instead of Instagram or cloud storage :P

@Eshshshss The problem is with the infrastructure, it's stupid to yell at the servers because of lag / high ping. It is well known that the internet is not optimized for realtime applications and that the network hardware technology is 10-20 years behind the demand.

Cloud storage is an issue as much as the traffic it creates. Streaming and remote work / meetings are the biggest congestion makers right now.
