Re: Horrible matchmaking, script/macro usage and hackers. How do you enjoy S16?

@reconzeroWell, yeah, that's what I meant - not technically cheating by the publisher's own standards, but cheating in a way because you can manipulate the ranks/mm. Either way I stopped caring long ago about it.

"Were it so easy."

Bro, I'm literally telling you it can if you "gel" with the hardware/settings anyone can be beaming. Not to say anyone will gel with using mouse, but it seems it's what I'm best at, and I was pretty proud of my controller aim mind you.

Back when I played mostly fps on PC but for some reason I downloaded Apex on PS and just let it happen, unlocked stuff and yeah... The difference is night and day for me when I switched. My console experience was teammates quitting and not even trying to go for a rez pretty much 60-70% of the time. For some reason I'm only seeing that maybe 20% of the time on PC. The game just has become so much more enjoyable because of that alone. I'm telling you bro, it's a different mindset, probably because the older crowd plays PC I guess. Not trying to convince you, just reporting what I am seeing, but if you're happy do that 🙂

THAT is a compelling argument. Not compelling enough to get me to buy the kind of pc it would take, but very tempting just the same.

@reconzero Remember man, my experience was the same as yours, and I was on PC.

The matchmaking, and endless cheats, that is the problem. The game is not the product, we are.

Currently on console and i am running into players in TDM who are brand new able to beam me across the map and track me with ease as i am running, i peak get one or two hits and next thing i am destroyed and rolled by them. In BR i end up against Masters and Preds and anything in-between that basically has no life at it or they are using strike packs etc to play, it's becoming to the point where it is no longer fun, even TDM is no fun after two games as next moment you go from doing well to being put against people who are just way better than you and your team and your team even quits mid match which i report every single one of them for as it is game abandonment regardless of game mode. But things need to change heavily.

I played on both console and PC. PC definitely has more team mate cooperation by a mile. But the skill ceiling is different level on what you'll face.

So by choice you have better team mates but it means opponents will be more skilled.

Or play on console where most love 1v3 wannabe pros watched too much youtube fanatics and ignore team cooperation. but the opponents will be on more equal footing in skillset.

This is not a statement saying console players do not play as a team. It is because consoles are more accessible to younger players and PC does have more mature segment of players. Got no stats to back this up, just watch how they play in terms of team sportsmanship if you play on both platforms and decide.

My friends used to refuse to play with me unless I switch to PS5 for console lobby only, then I moan at them because I want to use my 360Hz monitor at it's fullest even though probably my eyes can't see difference past 144Hz anyway.

Advantage of console is the the cheats are more "minimal" compared to PC can do. i.e. Console can't see through walls or infinite charge rifle.

So no best platform to play on. You're gaining or losing something either way in this game in terms of team mates, opponent skills and cheating extent.

Anyway plenty of other shooters to enjoy in mean time where you walk away knowing you enjoyed your evening. Look at Steam coop PVE games and it's great list of them.
