Solo queuing with randoms is even worse now
I think solo queuing with randoms is even worse than ever with all the S20 changes. I didn't think it was possible to be worse, but it is.
Forum Discussion
@DankToliet There are people posting in these forums that they don't understand why they can't find a purple armor, even in a Loba ult. You'd think that they would have had to levelled up at least once or noticed something called an EVO Core in their inventory instead of a shield. People just don't pay attention.
I'm personally seeing the MM get worse. My teammates are even more clueless (I literally had a teammate crouch and watch me get aped by a 3 stack without even shooting the other day; they are running off to 1v3/1v6/1vThe Lobby at the first opportunity more often, etc.), my enemies have even better aim and coordination, and I go longer getting absolutely obliterated before it feels like I get dropped into a lower lobby.
The EVO Changes have made it worse because your random teammates do less to help you level up your shields and winning your first 1v1 (less than 50% chance of this for me given the level of enemies I get matched against) doesn't get you enough EVO to level up on your own (you'd be blue shield in the old system) so you just get mopped up by that kid's teammate anyways. Winning the first fight is a 1 in 5 shot at best, TBH.

I made the mistake of playing yesterday. Sundays on Apex are, and always have been, an absolute disaster! I had people that... I don't even know, man. I even had a Wraith that was completely clueless of how basically anything in the game worked. Why is this player on my team? And also, the 3-stacking badges people were back on the champ screen. I just insta leave on the champ screen when I see them. Give me two unrealistic banners as teammates if you want me to even try this, Respawn, or I just go next.
Feels like they removed SBMM from pubs this weekend or something. An absolute horror show.
Took me like 4-5 hours to get a win yesterday, because... teammates. Had to wait for these two
to get a win and have a fun game, with 3 teams left at the end. Game quality just go up tenfold when you have teammates that have gun skills, game sense, and actually use their abilities. Didn't like the jump, Horizon died, but at least instead of staying and fighting two teams, Wraith got out of there, me too, we got Horizon back in, rotate and loot on the way, killing everyone in our way.
Then you have a game where they loot Carrier for the entire round 1. They only got out of there because ring was chewing on them. I was already in Estates when they got out of Carrier. Was on the verge of leaving. A win is a win though. Out here working on the 1000 wins on Lifeline, while Thunderdome is on Mixtape.
