I played Apex for about a month when it came out. The main reason why I stopped playing was mainly because there were no solo's in the game. I can not stand playing with randoms it is just not fun at all. Friends dont play the game . I am not going to a forum or a third party to find squad mates . If you have to go outside of your game to enjoy playing your game then your game is broken. I told myself I will not even consider giving this game any money or play it again until they add solo's ( its just how I enjoy playing BR's ) . If Apex doesnt add them , no biggie there are plenty of other games .
I saw the game added Ranked ( no solo's ) but I was intrigued enough to go against what I originally told myself a few months back and decided to give it a shot again. The first few games were fine , mainly because I spent them getting used to the game and getting my aim and sensitivity back . I got to silver 4 pretty quick , and this is when everything came flooding back to me like a tsunami .
I suddenly realized all of the little things with this game that enraged me so much a few months prior that I laughed at the idea of ever giving money to this game.
It seemed like every other encounter I would put 1 - 2 clips into someone and at most break their shields , meanwhile they turn hit me twice ( from my viewpoint) and I am dead with full health and full purple shield .
I would die behind walls constantly.
Every 3 or 4 games I would disconnect with a code net / leaf error .
I was forced to play with randoms where maybe every 5th game would just go and die , or wonder off somewhere or end up with 0/0 .
I would hit a button to open a door , pick up an item , or loot and nothing would happen .
As far as a ranked system goes its horribly designed on two fronts . 1 is that it encourages camping and hiding since its the most efficient way to rank up. 2 unless you play with a premade group of people its completely RNG if you get people that will help you or hurt you. A ranking system at its core is supposed to show how good of a player you are compared to other players doing the same thing. Someone in a group of friends and someone playing with randoms that go and jump off a cliff is not the same thing.
This game has some serious issues and I would love to buy the battlepass but I still just laugh at the idea of ever spending money on this game . I still stand by my original thought many months back , that if solo's were added I would be able to look past the little glitches , the netcode , and the disconnects and spend money on this game . For the simple fact that those things are annoying but having to play with other people that more often then not hurt my experience is infuriating .
I doubt any Dev's will read this or even care about 1 persons reasons for not spending money on this game , but for some reason ( considering when this game first launched the biggest threads were about adding solo's ) I dont think I am alone.

Played this game for 1 hour with my friend and i can tell you we got the code leaf error approximately 9 times only played 3 matches before getting fed up and got off. Anyone that tries to say fortnite had issues when it first started please stop not to this degree. This game is beyond broken you have so many bugs and exploits going on not to mention the crappy loot algorithm you have in place.
