We cant keep on blaming Respawn for all MM issues without acknowledging the amount of exploiting & smurfing thats being done.
There are hundreds of videos/guides on how to get into lower skill lobbies to farm for content. So is the MM really broken or is it just AGAIN the people who are just worst?
I can easily see a just above average gamers getting frustrated by games for being so hard (dopamine hook) and resorting into exploits in the chase of that single match dopamine high.
And when you have so many simultaneous players even a handful of exploiters can ruin all the lobbies for lower skilled players for their entire playing session using exploits. I guess it works like a cycle.

I entered Apex from Quake live when I got myself a better PC. Its a small game but has dedicated community following which has managed to keep the game alive for 10 years.
IMO What keeps people playing is the open stats & skill elo stats https://qlstats.net/ . Its totally different PvP game since its an arena shooter but playing it doesnt get me frustrated because the stats are there. I dont get false confidence. I know my level against my opponents all the time. I think big factor with Apex is that you dont know. Could be cheater. Could be smurf. Could just Big Roberto etc (HisWattson) under new alias. Could just be pure lucky shot.
Another noteworthy thing is that QL is performing much better in comparison to its successor Quake Champions possibly thanks to pure shooter mechanics. No abilities, ultimates etc.
I really need to get Helldivers (now that there is no PSN stuff anymore).
I like this discussion. Really good inputs with not that much venting 🙂
in my opinion they should think less about building camo and put a lot more effort into how to counteract all these tricks used, cheats on third-party devices, aim assists and so on, now if you don't cheat you can't play anymore
