@Flashshark1980while sitting around and waiting does award the most points, it's definitely not how the game should be allocating points. They reward placement rather than performance, which leads to exceptional players killing everyone, good players to pick and choose engagements when they're alone, and bad players to sit around and wait to get shot. The best way to improve your placement, is to kill everyone else. Which simply doesn't happen if you're stuck waiting around.
On top of that, it's extremely not fun to be put into those situations where your teammates die and you have to 1v3 everyone in the first place. If your team is gonna drop alone and kill themselves, why not just have a solo mode in the first place? What exactly is stopping them from doing so? The fact that there's a lack of choice behind how someone is supposed to enjoy the game is beyond ridiculous. Everyone plays differently, some people like squads, some people don't care about performance and simply play because they like to play, some people like to play competitively each game, some people like to get better and improve on a per game basis, and some people are just toxic. To lock everyone into one choice is a poor idea. The problem is not, "The circumstances that give me points is bad (even though it is)", but rather, "The circumstances that give me points are directly tied to circumstances beyond my control, and the lack of control of how I can grind for points / enjoy the game is infuriating."
Also, "The Cycle" looks good. You play? Is it good?
@pastaclown and @Vladplaya illustrated how I feel about pubs very well in their replies. I have been playing Fortnite more and more recently playing solo's exclusively and rest assured i'm not winning a lot there, yet losing in Fortnite doesn't rattle my cage, because I lost because they other player is just better. Which is fine in my book.
What really annoys me in Apex is losing for reasons that are outside of my control. Sometimes it feels like i'm just taking spins at a roulettes table, and winning a game is just a matter of rolling 6's rather than snake eyes with your dice.
Why even play such a game? Like stated before, after spending hundreds i'm still going to uninstall due how profoundly not fun this is.
