Re: How strong are randoms?

@damsonwhufndthis I have a better chance getting a higher damage/kill game alone with randoms than with my pre-made squad. Since all three of us have around the same KDR of 1.8-2, it’s harder to achieve high kill/damage games when they’re as good as you. LOL.

    @Cheese9ManI want to agree with you, but there's times where you can't do anything without a squad, how do you expect to kill one guy when you get shot at by 3?

    You need to damage 75 body shield 100 hp 150 kd shield and 50 more damage on the downed guy.

    Sounds easy, you just crack and knock him before he does right? But he has friends, and you don't, you just have randoms.

    Some randoms might be good, but most are just bad.

    @damsonwhufndthisDon't get me wrong, having a pre-made squad is still the best way to play this game. Like what MandatoryIDtag have said, it removes almost all of the aspect of the game that is frustrating. We also catch up with our busy lives while playing which is good for our mental health in general. It's easier to kill as a squad and to actually win games. It's just harder to get damage from teammates that can also shoot as well as you.

    Having random teammates that won't quit or have the same playstyle as you is very rare. There are a few types of randoms that I see throughout the seasons.

    1. Actual noob players that are put in my lobbies (God bless their souls)

    2. Average players that toxic.

    3. Sweaty players that just go into team fights, die, and then insta quit.

    4. Rare decent players that are as good, if not better than you that actually play this team-based game right.

    @Cheese9Man @hayhor if you think premades and solos have different lobbies than that's called foolishness

    My most probable death is from a premade squad.

    Also, is it easier because you play pubs or ranked? Because I mainly play ranked.

    @SheepsKingcall them whatever you want, they are trash idiots that can't even crack a shield half the time, I don't associate with them

    I play with randoms all the time. Never played with a premade squad and have over 500 wins.

    It's very hit and miss - yday had a second place where I got 1,500 damage, one TM 1,700 damage and the other ... 97. I got downed and was spectating the low-damage TM and their aim was awful ... as bad as mine when I first started playing. They weren't newbs either, over 400 kills with Bang.

    @EdwardDLuffyyep even level 500 have somehow still not figured out how to play properly or aim decently

    it is though nice sometimes they get lucky and actually enemy runs into their shots

    @damsonwhufndthis Everyone automatically has dive trails when I play with my premade. Ranked is easier until Gold then apex transforms to “it’s time to get serious” legends in Plat 2 onwards. Pubs are hit and miss. If you continue to place around 1-5th place in pubs, you’re always put with the big dogs.

    @Cheese9Manafter gold gets serious? well my teammates certainly aren't serious

    but the enemies are, in fact, no matter the position or if we started the fight, it seems enemy squads like to favour us

    getting sniped from all angles even if you aren't even in the center, why can't my squad be one of those that is shooting the other squad who's already being shot by 3 diffrent squads already?

    everytime I die, guy has thousands of kills and bunch of badges, my squad half the time doesn't even have trackers equiped or they have like less than 50 kills missing 1 tracker

    @damsonwhufndthis I never said the lobbies were seperate. SBMM cranks to the max when you play with people. This means more premades together. And it happens in both pubs and ranked. Anyone that's played a lot in both scenarios will tell you that.

    After those 2 hours of playing I took a BREAK (which I really recommend) and played again for 1 hour and was the result?
    I got a win EVEN with our dear (buggy) Wattson + my mates were at least decent so we could do it (this is one of those examples where you get at least good players in your round)

    @MadameRose66I don't understand buggy wattson, does that happen like sometimes?

    Because I've had few Wattsons as teammates and I saw the ult doing it's job when gibraltar ult was dropping down

    @damsonwhufndthis In my honest opinion the shield regen is to slow if u have way to many factors where you are constant in a fight so I really hope they will buff her in season 11 + with her heirloom + an legendary skin (I look at you dear devs lol)

    @MadameRose66It should indeed. There's no reason why it shouldn't regen near the speed of Lifeline's drone, though as shields are more op to heal fast (as it's what gets depleted first when people shoot you) maybe just a tad slower. Maybe work like Octane's passive health regen? On the other hand Wattson's pylon is easily destroyed which is a minus compared to DOC. It's an ult vs DOC being a tactical, so again a minus on the pylon. Balancing isn't easy, no doubt about it, but everyone, except that Klein guy, can see Wattson's in a sorry state atm and needs some sort of buff.

  • I hope you guys are right. I really hope that they won't mess this up "again." (When I think about the MAJOR BUFF ffs....)
