@devrasan1 Welcome to Apex! I can only imagine what you are experiencing. I have not played fortnite so i can't offer any compairsons.
As an older gamer who started this in season 0 (before Battle Pass was a thing) I am just at the point where i have a basic competence of the game. That took me years although I was on my own and had to figure everything out for myself.
Stick with it. Find some friends. Play a bit of bot royale to get a feel for how the weapons, movement and abilities work so you can employ them in a real game. It will take time to figure out. That's normal.
The match making is hit and miss. As you are a newbie your lobbies should be on the easier side but that's not always the case. If you find you are getting stomped by more experienced players (you can usually tell from the banners (but not always, some sad folk actually buy badges and are garbage in reality) just play something else for awhile.
In general I find earlier in the day is easier than later... the sweats log on at night and if you start getting lobbies with them just play something else. There is nothing you can do about that and the game becomes unplayable... this seems to be normal in my experience so use your judgement and practice. When the lobbies are more or less balanced it is a brilliant game.
