Refuse to believe I'm any good

But I'm clearcut better than 90% absolute minimum of my teammtes.

Near enough everytime teammate drops, they all die immediately, if I'm jumpmaster, survival.

Being lead by teammates = death in almost every situation.

Teammates following my lead = much greater success rate.

End with higher kills higher damage near enough all the time and i don't "cheese" stats.

It's just decision making, i don't even consider myself a mastermind, mostly just common sense.

And i don't consider myself great by any means. I don't sit around watching all these "streamers" or "pros" or giving any kind of crap about "thE meTa".

But my teammates just seem dumb and/or rubbish.

Used to carry them to victories often, but now it seems not so possible. And the rare occasion I get fairly equal teammates they have no conposure in final 3-2 and blow it.

It's making the game completely painful and boring to play.

There are very rare occasions i get teamed with players i consider better than me - their Legends even seem faster (have no idea how they get about so quickly - make me feel like a slug). It feels nice to play with people better than you too, at risk of feeling like a detriment, but i usually hold my own and contribute decent kills or clutch moments even if ending with lesser stats.

Wish the game had more percentage of the latter but it'll be like 1 or 2 games out of 100.

@1ronKeys shouldn't constantly getting bad teammates make it more exciting than boring to play? With bad teammates you can coach them into good play or victory and try different methods to gauge success (ratio or effectiveness).

With good teammates winning is more boring because the odds of winning are higher and you usually have the same strategy to get to that point.

It's definitely more painful tho

@Koochi-Q coaching? COACHING?! Half these bottom feeding sea cucumber looking prehistoric amoeba teammates I get on my team can't even figure out how to be in their seat for drop, call their own location, and LOOT THEIR OWN BUILDING. Bleh. No thank you. They'd probably stick their foot in a bear trap if I told 'em not to D:<

@pastaclown But isn't that the fun part of life? Coaching others to be better or getting a challenge in doing so instead of knowing how everything will be? Isn't that what separates us from the... other animals?! They go on instinct whereas we can decide on instinct or rational? ;D

See?! That's progress. You already helping them by not getting gangrene by already being there to see to it that they won't get bearcaught XD. Now coach them to wins! :P

@Koochi-Q Coaching can't save them, 'Kooching' can 😛

@Koochi-Q ehh? Tell you the truth, I don't think the teammates I've gotten can separate instinct from rationale. I don't think my teammates...think. Or if they do, it's very slow, and often waaay too late. Apex feels like one big Darwinistic experiment gone horribly wrong.

@BaldWraithSimp Soo... Yell at them that they suck and leave the match followed by blocking them on xbox? XD

@pastaclown, then you should take the pokemon route and evolve them xD but I agree slightly about the experiment but it's not failed tho... It shows exactly what it needs to show; no brainers sucking and big brainers hurting

No good player is ever going to get recognition from most people, so you're going to have to understand that OP and live with it.
If you'll notice from posts here, and what people say in chat, they're always killed because sniper rifles are OP, shotguns are OP, wingman is OP...apparently even a P2020 is OP. Or...there were cheaters. Or it was the SBMM messing up.
Yes...it's true, some weapons are overpowered. There are cheaters. The SBMM for this and any battle royal game cannot possibly work. And yet...if it is nearly EVERY game, and especially all the games that player loses...then maybe the person they fought was actually a good player?
No! Impossible! Because everybody is the best player ever in their own mind, and the person killing them was never really that good.
I know you are talking about your team mates but it is the same thing. I had a team mate drop alone after I indicated where I wanted the team to drop, he went straight for a hot zone. He died. He spammed ping, and no, I didn't go get him because, mostly, I was too far away...because I dropped where I said I would (the other team mate died early too). He sends me a message that says I'm a bad player...you know, while I'm still playing :D
So, obviously I wait until I'm done. The guy had awful stats too, but he was a TTV player! Yeah, he's going real far. XD

@KelRiever I'm not sure that's entirely true.
Look at all the people complaining about how difficult the game has become for them due to SBMM. That's literally acknowledging that you're being put against tough opponents.
Admittedly there is a lot of people out there whose ego's can't cope with the simple fact that there is better players than they are.

"No good player is ever going to get recognition from most people"

@KelRiever in apex without consecutive games, you're right. It's almost impossible for one to know if a player is good. Even after playing consecutive games after each other is fairly unreliable as one can just have a 'bad day'.

To know if someone's good (at shooters) you have to not only play multiple matches (in apex) but also other games. One can be a good shooter for instance or a good tactician (flanker for instance in apex... But can also be a camper) or exploiter (good third partier) in Apex but useless in another shooter. A way to conclusively judge someone is consistency in multiple same scenario settings (so in this case a first party shooter extraordinaire). If thats not the case he may just be good, bad or adequate in apex.
