your game is stupid as hell now

@HappyHourSumwur

Nobody is more disappointed than I am that Respawn envisions Apex as team-only, but for now at least that's the way the game is.

I did not miss the ALGS part. I'm perfectly aware of how the ranking system works and why it works that way. And like I said, it works that way so the dev can throw crumbs to losers and make them feel like they accomplish something when they fail to win. How ranking systems work is irrelevant to anyone but a rank chaser. The object of the game is still to win.

" If you are not going to participate (aka camp) so you don't fight your way to the win then it defeats the purpose of playing the game."

The single most mistaken argument made about battle royale. No one is proposing "winning without fighting." If someone, anyone, developer included, suggests that a smarter player should pick and choose their fights, or that the fewer you take the higher your odds of winning, then suddenly every rank chaser on the planet with 2% win rate comes out of the woodwork claiming that if you can't beat the #19 squad then you certainly won't be able to beat the #2 squad. Which is exactly like saying that a ton of bricks weighs more than a ton of feathers.

"Were you the best team on the map and showed it through actually playing and coming out on top? In short, no. Opportunistic perhaps, or even cowardly? but not skilled."

Keep rationalizing losses any way you want.

I get how uncomfortable everyone is with the idea that winning is rare in battle royale and therefore the game has to reward players for something besides just winning. And it does. I personally don't think it needs to, but you can all take comfort in the fact that I'm not in charge of anything around here.
