Interesting. I actually think this is the best ranked season for solo queuers thus far.
Drops are better. Game play is better. Finding teammates is better. Everything is better.
I just played 3 matches in a row with a good team I met through requeue. I would've kept playing, but it's dinner time. Just play until you find decent/good "like-minded" teammates and have fun. I don't mic up anymore, so I use pings efficiently to communicate, and I text a little.
All Ranked needs now are better rewards from the top down, removal of splits, and an end-of-season Apex Predator Online Tournament for the fans. Get those Twitch numbers up.
Apex is in the best state it's ever been in, and I hope it continues to evolve. We need arenas back, lore/launch trailers, and a Netflix show/movie.
