Re: Why am I bad?

Because you are not learning from your mistakes and actively trying to improve. You probably just jumping in a match and just play at a certain skill level that you feel comfortable at and at which you have plateaud a while back.

It doesn't matter how long you have been playing, if you are not putting active energy and effort into seeing what you are doing wrong, and then trying not to do the same mistakes each fight in each game.

Its just like everything else in life, you can drive your sporty car every day to work and call yourself an excellent driver, but if you want to be a race driver you have to actively learn new skills and push yourself.

Also, in this game specifically, because TTK is kinda long, it really noticeable when you play against someone who is even slightly above you in skill level. Like in PUBG I can ambush and instantly kill a player who is absolutely amazing, and I wouldn't even know that. But in Apex, if you run into someone who is better than you at movement, aiming, and just general strategy, they have so much time to correct their mistakes while taking advantage of yours, so you might be doing okay one match, but once you run into better players, you just hit with reality of how much more you can learn to get better at the game.

So don't just play for very long, play with mind set that you will make improvements in aiming, movement, weapon handling, tactics, teamwork, etc in every single gunfight... Most people don't do that, because it takes concentration and energy, and most people play games to have fun and no sweat and get stressed out.

Just my 2c.
