The idea that a player in combat would start jumping around like a kangaroo and somehow that is an advantage - is absolutely ridiculous. At the very minimum a player jumping would not be able to aim their weapon or fire it while hopping, and I seriously doubt a person jumping would be able to evade bullets. This is an exploit of bad game physics. A player that jumps while shooting should have their hit rate dropped to almost zero while absorbing enemy bullets like a sponge. The old games that had quick scope sniper rifles with zero weight and zero maenoeuvreability issues were a crime against logic, and at last Apex has addressed that annoying exploit.
Bunny hopping is next. Get rid.

I agree, but respawn isn't interested in making a game that doesn't appeal to the masses. It's what happens when your company gets gobbled up by a giant machine that chews up game studios and ruins their creativity. That is why this game is free. Although it doesn't seem to work very well. It takes forever to queue in ranked. Obviously they don't have enough players. I would play more but there is so much about this game I hate and love it's just not fun anymore.

I'm actually happy with the free mode of this game because I buy the Battle Passes and I am hoping that means the devs will constantly improve and/or upgrade the game.
I stopped playing ranked for the very reason you mentioned: it takes forever.
I can't get any decent ping or gameplay before midnight, it's like a massive difference where I can get 3, 4 kills per game after midnight, and before then I lose every fight where I haven't snuck up on someone. If they see me - even if my computer is showing me I shot first and I have better armor - I lose.
