The TTK is so low (especially in Wildcard) and the amount of free movement is so high that skill now matters less than the character you're playing. If you're outside the meta or without free movement, you're usually at a disadvantage.
With such a low TTK and such a high amount of free movement, there's no time to react. One or two seconds in a bad position and you're dead. Apex is now unforgiving of any mistakes. It's a shame the game has changed so much.
EDIT: Can you get that broken R99 out of this mode sooner than in 14 days? This has been going on too long, and no other weapon counts... I'm not asking when you'll do something about cheaters, because I'll never see it... but at least give some sense to weapons other than that broken r99.
