Wanna see how broken AA is?
Notice how over half of the people you come across in game stands still when looting? Indicating they are on controler. Thats how powerful aim assist is when a majority of your population is on the s...

@Vdstrk PC que times was in the range of 10 seconds before console users. We had on pc zero issues finding games unless early in the morning ranked games. Those at times could take 3-5 mins or so. When it comes to pubs we had zero issues.
Console users often come back with the comment of if they remove cross-play have fun sitting in que for 10 minutes or more. I laugh and think is that what your que times was before you came to pc? Because we had no problem finding games. They over value themself. PC im willing to bet vastly out numbers console users.
Let this sink in also... Most devs who do play apex legends are on console. You see the trend here?

So doing some math.... let's see 47.6M on ps, 24M on xbox. They just announced 100M players... so that leaves pc with 28.4M players.
It seems clear that that it is more likely that there are more players at any given time on ps only than on pc.
Sure these stats are a bit up there, but is the best available. I would be glad if you could provide more accurate stats.
- @Vdstrk There is no accurate stats you can give tbh. PC is just a more popular gaming platform. As it supports all games while xbox/playstation only get support on a few games. some pc games not even being on console at all. So with that is where i base my assumption. PC just has a ton more viable options and advantages over console. I'd love to see the numbers myself but seeing all the games on pc and not on console to me would be proof enough that pc out weighs console in terms of users. I watched console streamers i watched their ques be longer then ours. While i was able to que in a matter of seconds on pc. Now this is not me saying they had a huge que time but it most certainly was longer then pc ques. Cross-play exists imo because the number of players on console was much lower then pc which effects que times.

Every platform has exclusives.
I doubt the number of console players as an aggregate is lower than pc. It would most likely around 71.6% vs 28.4% on pc.
Based on the numbers above.
What I see is that consoles can afford to opt out from crossplay, their queues will increase, but will still be bearable.
PC cannot unfortunately. PC gaming is more expensive as initial cost, it requires updates to hardware, so more cost along the way, and I think that to be the top reason why most people play on console.I have nothing more to say about this. As we are now going in circles.

- @Vdstrk I mean there are more pc streamers for apex legends then there are console users. While i understand not everyone streams but the numbers compared to another are quite different showing pc is dominate apex legends platform by far. Not at all saying numbers may be different but just going by streamers pc greatly out weighs console streamers.

Very last thing.
You claim you see more console players because you are in big boys lobbies. but that does not really make sense to me.
We would see the same amount of console players at any stage, with probably a majority of them in pubs. I only play pubs, and yet I cannot name one time I have seen a console player while playing on pc. - @Vdstrk Then you do not pay attention chances of a console user not being in a game is very very slim. Just because you do not die to them to see a console icon does not mean they are not in the lobby. Ive yet to ever have a lobby yet that didnt have console users inside it. Nor have you as its statistically impossible to not have a console user paired with a pc friend inside our lobbies.
When i say i play with the big boys i mean the top controller users like daltoosh and more. some of us put in a lot of hours a day playing we know the difference and we see the difference. We are not causal average players voicing our opinion we say this as people who made their life this game. - @Vdstrk I mean you cant ignore twitch streamers this is literally physical proof on a streaming level which is more popular. This is 100% accurate numbers just by going to streams and looking for controller hotkeys or pc hotkeys to reload or swap weapons and such. So to say its not reliable is kinda weird considering numbers dont lie... lol
- @Vdstrk Also note that hundreds of thousands have voiced their opinions here or social media of such a desync. Watch some top players you will see it on their game play as well. This is a well known issue this is not something new or being made up this has been happen for quite some time now. Its been voiced on these very forums a lot of times as well as other platforms. So rest assure your time will come.
Either way if im wrong or your wrong give me my opt out button and they would never hear another word about it from me.
@E9ine_AC
It seems that you only get console players in pc lobbies only if a console player queues up with pc players.https://micky.com.au/apex-legends-how-crossplay-works-between-pc-and-console-players/?amp
I wonder how comes you see them so much.
