Woah! No Fill Mode Is Amazing! *Not Clickbait*

Welcome back to another episode of, "This is satire, why aren't there solos?" It's ya main critic, Pastaclown, back at it again. Last episode, Respawn was gracious enough to let me test out their brand new solo mode, and I gotta say, putting out two banger modes back to back? No easy feat for any developer, but Respawn has done it again.

After 5 hours of constantly getting matched with smooth-brained "Gun go bang, hahaha shiny loot box" teammates, I decided to test out the new "No Fill" feature that was implemented. I gotta say, Respawn has hit the nail on the head by making you queue up without any teammates at all, facing you off against full squads without any sort of handicap! A truly challenging mode that's fit for players of all skill levels. Critics and fans alike should soon be singing praise, and opening their wallets. 

Respawn's a great company that you can wholeheartedly deposit your entire bank account right into their coffers, where they work endlessly on fixing bugs, and polishing core gameplay mechanics.

    @BaldWraithSimp it's in all modes actually, been having the same issue since the season start, but it's kind of cool somehow and especially I ranked.
    no RP to lose 🙂
  • @Nasher355  Ummm, it's an automatic function, you can not turn it off and on.

    it calculates how well you have been doing for the last 5 matches and if you were doing good then it's on and if bad then it's off and it will give you teammates to support you and mostly they will be bots. 🙂

    . 😛 just joking, there is no such thing but the matchmaking is simply acting Koko these days ......as usual 

  • @Nasher355 "No fill" ain't here yet bud, the whole thing was me being salty about the crappy matchmaker not matching me with teammates. I hear it'll be here sometime S8 though! Sorry about that.

    @BaldWraithSimp Standard pubs. But after 5 hours of smooth brained nonsense, you'd think the Apex Gods would grant me a semi-decent teammate. Instead they're like, "Yeah? You're frustrated with teammates? BOOM! NO TEAMMATES. Done deal, my job is done." 

    @maximas1986 yeah matchmaking has been...interesting? Interesting in a way that's like...watching an alligator eat a turtle. I guess? 

  • @pastaclown It's better than the teammates I just had. 7 squads left in ring 4, I tell them repeatedly do not leave the high ground to engage an enemy squad. Nope he went straight for it. I tell the wraith who was on my team to portal down and let me see if I can kill them or just portal to the teammate and revive him. We get pinched by two squads.. I told them it would happen.. NO portal, I go down and tell him at least 40 times PORTAL OUT PORTAL OUT PORTAL OUT. Nope, he just stood there and spun in circles.. Enemies who killed us all had triple triple badges.. I don't know if they messed with match making or toned down SBMM.

    @DarthValtrex No way they toned down SBMM. I think they cranked it up even higher tbh. Nothing but low-skill teammates against Predators / Masters. I got matched up with a level 12 and 30 duo, one console one PC, was curious to see what they (yes I quit) were up against. 

    Countdown to drop hit 0, immediately only 30 people left in the dropship, I look down, I see at least 4 Masters trails and 3 Predators. Yeah sure. I'd have better luck winning a fist fight with an alligator IN WATER than winning that match with a level 12 and 30.

    @pastaclownI don't know what those 2 were doing in the lobbies I was in. Neither broke 200 damage and I broke 2000 with 9 kills. I can understand if they were good with their guns but did not know how to use abilities. But still, being told repeatedly to portal out as two enemy squads fight next to him? Than he just stands there as they fight?! As I beg him to portal me out and revive me. NOPE

    @pastaclown & @DarthValtrex, it’s this way every time after season update. Every time a new season drops I get a bunch of lvl 30-180 with me with badges showing they haven’t played (or at least used that character) seemingly since 1 or 2 seasons ago >.>

    And they’re not choosing meta characters or characters that got a buff in new season...

    Those ‘seasonal players’ usually leave after 1 week of new update tho...
  • @pastaclown lol ngl sometimes I prefer that.
    Every time I have to climb through plat I actually do better on my own with placement and max, or close to max kp, hopefully it's the same for you
