Re: Why am I not improving in apex

Same boat here. Tried everything, nothing works. Recently I found out how horrible the SBMM is, so maybe that's partly to blame. I have not even touched BR mode in the last few days. I am only playing Arenas, where I am doing better. BR is just not worth playing anymore for me.

    I would try arenas but it isn't as fun as BR for me. And as for the SBMM that might be why but pro players play in the same lobbys as I do so I don't know if its just me or something else.

    @InkBlaze02 Thanks for the info though

    @AcidicSoda44031 it's actually EOMM. basically designed to make you lose by rigging your matches with enemies around your skill level and higher while having teammates much lower. it basically does this until it's "your turn" to win by either giving you much more competent teammates or slowly giving you lower lobbies until you win and then the cycle begins.

    @soccerking122 I know that. But honestly, it doesn't even deserve to be called engagement based or whatever. How can I keep to be engaged when over half my games I am dying to people that I simply cannot compete with?

    I still haven't touched BR mode. And I won't unless a friend invites me in.

    @Cheese9Man 

    Arena Pubs MM is just as bad if not worse in my opinion.  

    I play mostly Arena Ranked when I play it, but sometimes Arena pubs.

    @Cheese9Man I do not know. All I know is that at least I can regularly get between 3 and 7 kills, and I am happy with that.

    Arenas is the way. Simply more fun.
