Second place but champion, bug or feature?
So I jump into Apex for a few rounds of frustration (wasn't disappointed with average lv15 teammates being put with lv90 me). And after a couple matches I got into a lobby ALONE. nobody else got put with me, so I picked Lifeline and decided to yolo it. Landed on the outskirts of Skulltown and ran around for 10 minutes like a headless chicken before I got any good loot, finally with a purple armour and spitfire I set out to get kills or die trying. Made it into the last 4 squads before getting any action, spotted two guys taking pot shots at another two squads so I flanked and took them out. Just me and one other squad remaining, went out looking for them and found two guys, held my own for a minute before eventually dying with 2 kills and 700 damage.
But here's where the funny part happens, I join a game right after that match and pick Wraith and guess who's the champion, all decked out with the legendary skin I just got and all! Had a 6kill game before getting third partied back to the lobby unfortunately. Weird part is this is the second time I got champion even though my team were second place.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea if it's a visual bug or if there's a hidden mechanic that rewards bravery, dumb luck and unparalleled handsomeness that I keep triggering?
