Went about expected

So I've been avoiding playing apex for about a season or 2 now. They added a new map I've been wanting to see. Finally got into a few matches with one of my friends and they went like I thought they...

    @XxColdFangxX I think what you describe is actually Apex biggest issue. It's a hard game to come into casually. By casually I mean not playing more than once every week or two. The movement, recoil, ttk and abilities create a pretty large skill ceiling relative to games it competes with. And if doing it in a premade, it is even harder.

@XxColdFangxX This is absolutely a thing. I play pretty regularly with two guys who are not good players (I myself am mid at best). We get destroyed on the regular together. I kept detailed notes last season and my KDR solo Q was over FOUR times higher than my KDR trio queued with these guys. I literally have to solo Q in order to keep my stats from the gutter from group matchmaking.

I honestly don't see why they do this. Communication might be a bit better between an actual team but that doesn't mean we are any good at the game.

    Case in point:  I bled a bunch of stats playing with those friends on the weekend.  I played ranked (queuing as a duo in ranked doesn't seem to be as punishing as in pubs) this morning with my other buddy and we did OK, I clawed back some KDR that I lost on the weekend.  Then hoping to finish off my dailies before going out of town, I just now solo queued for one game (needing merely to deal 175 dmg to finish off 3000 dmg for the daily challenge).  I won that game as kill leader and my stats are now higher than before the weekend.  Group matchmaking is rough, and it's even rougher if there isn't a high skilled player on the team to carry.
