This is a great game, at least, I really enjoy it. But playing with randoms and new people is very tiresome.
I'm talking when you do 1,500+ damage and they both do less than 300. Why am I playing and wasting my time with these people ?
Yes I have friends, and I do squad up. But it's not like we all live the same lives in sync ready to play 24/7 together. Many times you are forced to play alone .
And yes, I get friend requests alot after games due to my score. But I don't want 1000 people messaging me to play with them all the time.
I just want choice .
If I want to play with random noobs, let me play unranked .
If I want to play competitive, give me ranked .
Is it so hard to do with 50M players ???

I have the opposite problem. I'm not really that interested in getting 20 kills each match. I'd much rather get two, score 300 damage, and end with a top 3 placement.
Because I prefer tactical play, not the typical 90 % * routine, "let's land where everyone else does, get 3-4 quick kills before our team is wiped out and then just restart the game after 2 mins".. We'll get tons of kills
I'd rather stay the full 20 mins.

The usual naysayer will say "git gud" but.. you have the opposite problem! :D
Glad some people on both end of the FPS skill spectrum can agree...
Now if only Respawn could listen to us on that!
But I fear the voice of those who wants to crush noobs is too loud for most game company to dare to implement Skill based match maker. Even Fortnite thought about it and ... chickened out....

Agreed, im a total noob to FPS games not just apex. Last thing I want is to get grouped with great players as im going to ruin their experience. I would prefer when selecting teams people are grouped in games with other people of similar kills. I can the improve accuaracy on other lower kill levels with me. Not get hit 3 times and die from 100 yard with no chance of bullst reoly.

Indeed..
What stops me from playing at Apex at the moment, is less the idea of losing than the idea of being by far the weakest player in my squad and feel like a burden! :o :/

Yeah, I experience that too. From cheaters. I can empty two clips in them, they'll kill me with 3-4 petty shots. Ya know, aimbots. That's because EA is ok at making games, but r u b b i s h following up on cheaters and making it tight.

Ranked play would be cool but it will also have it's problems since you will have to play with less skilled players until you ranked up and even when you do rank up the players might still not fit in with your play style. Ranked might be a good way to make friends though... They should make adding friends easier.

Think I'm about there too man. I really hope re spawn listens to the average player, and not the noobs and so called "pros" in this community who really don't care about competitive matches. there is nothing sporting about wanting to pwn noobs or not even trying to win, or playing out of your league period.
I understand its not a team deathmatch and its a BR with placement. But couldn't we just count stats and placement? An ELO based on just placement alone is better then nothing, imo. They could always improve it.

I understand that getting to top 3 via a slow controlled playstyle may be desirable, but for me it is painful. Getting to top 3 is not an accomplishment for me, I could do that every game if I wanted to play that style. Having won almost 100 times (looking at you lifeline badge), winning or top 3 has become secondary to how I get there .
I have a good game when I get 1,500+ damage per game, or 8 kills . Or make a sweet save for the team and a set of clutch revives. The badges are truly what I enjoy earning .
And in this regard, it is truly frustrating not having ranked . Killing 2/3 of a squad solo, or more, and then the first time a teammate gets into the fight they both die.... It's frustrating .
Sometimes it does happen . I suck sometimes too, consistency is hard .
But ranked needs to happen . There can still be a non ranked queue , absolutely, but there is NO excuse for not having a ranked with 50M + players .
