Re: How to Apex by Marten

Placing in the top three every game by hiding or playing passive is so insanely easy. That really doesn't prove anything. Also there is barely a win tracking system right now, so not even much emphasis is placed on winning. 

Sure winning is cool but that's like half the experience. Hiding all game to hop in the last fight might be an effective way to win, go for that if it's your thing. But to me, personally, that is just boring. I want to get in fights and have an action packed game. I'd rather get 3rd or worse with 20 kills than win with 3, any day. 

A lot of players take this passive play style so serious that they get no combat experience at all. As soon as the first fight breaks out they are fish out of water. My advice is maybe you should hot drop every single game until you figure the combat out. 

Otherwise you're just gonna settle for top 3 without getting a single kill and almost never win because you can't fight the last squad.

    neither does getting high dmg and headshots by dropping into a crowd of people, hoping for a lucky start while yolo melee deathmatching,  and coming in closer to last.

    I think its easier to say winning isn't your thing,  when you know you play to lose.

    btw the 6000 dmg match my team had that one round.  we didn't drop hot.

    @VPPTrue please explaine us how the combat experience change if you hot drop or drop in the far end of the map?!

    You talk like if you engage more fights you are better than me who engage only 2-3 fights a game (with 2, 4, 6 kills max if luky); we are talking about 100+ hours. 

    If you say that you'd rather get 3rd with 20+ kills meand that YOU are the one who did not get the point of the game, i am sorry for that, and for sure you are one of those players who quit the game as soon as he get killed, leaving the teammates to themselves!

    You´re realy believing this is combat experience when you die over and over and over, aren´t you?

    That´s just plain ridiculous and tells me you must be one of those millenials or younger with their "gogogo" mentality.

    Real combat experience heavily relies on "surviving" and picking your fight and not on getting the most kills by getting into every single fight possible.... just like in every freaking game, even in reallife combat/military.

    You have to master surviving first before you should think about engaging in every single fight.

    Even the proplayer Dizzy mastered survival first before he even thought about getting into most fights, hence why he constantly makes tactical retreats or even leave entire teams just do their things while he goes to a different direction.

    You´re more the "deathmatch" type of player with unlimited respawns, not a real "Battle Royal" player.... you should realy look out for other games where deathmatch is the core part of the game, like Call of Duty.

    I can say for sure, that you´re only playing BR games because they got popular, but  not with the intension to actually play this genre how it is supposed to be played.
