Re: If i have a pair of total noobs on my team

Define noobs, probably in your head it is anyone under about rank 80 with less than 4000 kills.

Maybe you should consider that everyone has to start somewhere and learn and, instead of pouring contempt on them - help out?

I have been playing games since 1982 - 37 years if that helps - and I am only rank 18 in this - am I a noob?  In other games I have never played I am rank 0.

Teach them what to do, explain the mechanics, lead them, even if that just means using ping.

So you have a shorter round and you don't win - and?

You hot drop with new players and then expect them to be able to 1337 uber-soldat pwnge?  Players who know what they are doing usually last less than 60 seconds in that scenario.

Maybe a solo BR is more your taste being as you object so much to your team mates?  Or do you need an audience to validate yourself?

I can see the problem here and you won't unless you can access a mirror.

    i teach my friends, not all randoms everyday every match.

    when i see someone suggests things like this the first thing that comes to my mind is "this guy is a noob"

    we are in 2019!!! FPS games NEED RANK SYSTEM! we are not in 2002 playing CS 1.5 here.

  • Just make sure that it is not you who is the noob. I had 18 kills in 2 games as Octane and that was ALL of my games as that character. Still got ditched by some broken-English, trash-speaking MFer. Didn't matter that I had my level on display or that the character had only been out for 3 days, or that I spent those days exhausting other legends bonuses for the battle pass. I was the noob apparently.

  • Hi @halo572 

    I really admire the positivity in your post. :eahigh_file:

    You are a mature gamer whose experience has taught you to be tolerant, and to share your wisdom with other players. I think that's great!

    I'm also a mature player and yet, ironically, I'm playing with younger players who are brilliant at Apex. They have never had a word of criticism about my play.

    A brilliant player who plays with "noobs" because he likes them as friends, and enjoys the challenge of clutching etc. I think that's almost heroic. In a gaming sort of way.

    If it's too frustrating then make some friends!

    Play only with your friends list then, if you can't handle PUG online then play solo games.

    And while you're at it look up obnoxious in the dictionary.

    Have a 1337 ubersoldat pwnge day now you hear!

  • @halo572No one cares if you are starting out and getting to learn the game and whatnot, the problem is that the matchmaking system pairs decent players with the new players trying to learn the game. Just because someone is decent at the game it doesn't mean they are not allowed to enjoy solo q. That is just absolutely absurd. As a solo q warrior you are punished by having to carry if you want a win, and I have been on both sides being carried by masters and preds and carrying plats and golds. I always feel terrible when I get paired with much higher skilled players knowing that they have to make up for my slack. Respawn implemented the guild system and it was almost as if telling solo q players to suck it up or find a guild.

    Hey, greetings from December 2020, you've got a year to prepare yourself for a terrible virus coming our way!

    Buy shares in PPE and face coverings and you'll make a killing!

    Me? I stopped playing this, oh, 18 months ago and am living in 2020.  Bit scary, but there you are, lots of brilliant games to play so no loss there.

    @halo572 Sometimes those are the most fun.. When you get total noob who's only played a handful of rounds.. Has no idea how to heal, what guns are god how to do anything.

    You pull off miracles that they don't understand yet. While you try and explain how to adjust their controller settings, prioritize loot and dang it they are running to a choke point. Hey hey I told you not to go there for a reason...

    I enjoy those rounds from time to time. Especially if I can get the noob to a point where they can have some success. They get so excited when they get their first kills, first wins, first revives..

    So long as they are some what responsive to the advice and relaxed I'll send em an invite to play more rounds.

    @xMaxrayx How do they loot for 30 minutes when the match only last 18-19 minutes at most?!

    I don't mind the people who want to loot everything, ya I'd rather be fighting but if they are avoiding fights there is a reason. I'd rather play for a win then force them into a sticky situation that they can't handle.

    The dying fast happens to all of us including preds. I've had countless preds as teammates die on drop or in our first engagement doing 0 damage. Sometimes they don't hear the person, sometimes they don't see them and get caught in a bad spot.. It happens to all of us.. I had to be revived 4 times one match and had 0 kills until the last 8 minutes or so. I turned it around ended up with 1400+ damage and a half dozen kills. I've had teammates do the same.. I had one guy struggle the entire round when I got my 2k badge on caustic, I was playing well and got a little to aggressive. It lead to me getting myself knocked, he came in clutch and pulled off a 1vs2 then revived me. It was great, I never give up on my teammates.

    @DarthValtrex 

    it's because 60% of players die in * 2 min make  half of map unlooted

    why they are loot because thy are new and they still learning meanwhile I fight  diamond/predator/master  premade ,is that fun in ur eyes ?

    predator and 0 dmg ? properly hot drop in most cases

    if this game want give me noob player i dont mind but in other side give me noob opponent
