It´s a bug or something. Happens to me without even touching the right analog stick, just strafing. That`s why some weapons are useless for me.The most common thing people do, is meleeing by mistake. Because they get so tense and overpress the sticks...
Looks like it's time to re-install.I may re-install in a few weeks during the next event or if they add Solo/Duos. But right now the game isn't good for my mood.
Welcome! It's nice to see the perspective of a newcomer. If the anecdotal experience of myself and long-time players in this thread are true, you're probably being matched with at least one high-leveled player to "balance things out" - which is ultimately useless when they pit you against a premade squad of Predators.New to the game, it's fun but jeesh, every game it feels like there are nothing but premades running around.
100%.Does LFG actually work? Iv'e messed about with it a bit in Sea of thieves, but iv'e never really thought of using it with this?
Will Certainly give it a go when i come back.
I just came back to apex for the new season I haven't played since MW came out in October. I had back to back wins yesterday then the sbmm really kicked in and and now this game is just not fun solo.
playing against organized predator squads shouldn't be a thing when I'm matched with players who don't even use mics it's super frustrating. Like every lobby the champion team is stacked 20-30k kills all the badges it's ridiculous.
Then play ranked? You should be reset low at this point if you haven't played in that long. You would have to make your way up the ranks to hit players like you are describing.
Ranked is the better mode anyway as far as random teammates go. No dropping out when downed and will try for revives when it makes sense.
Oh god, I knew that drop ship trajectory was gonna be a problem, I'm just thankful to the Apex Gods that it wasn't my team who took the blow 😂
And yes, we were in ranked!
How do I get good? I'm struggling to do well in teamfights, I can't manage myself on hot drops, and when I get into fights I can hit anything for shit because of people ADAD spamming and dancing through my rifle, SMG, and shotgun bullets.

Watch streams and keep playing/practicing. Be aggresive and get in fights if you want to get better.How do I get good?

It's not a cheap tactic, it's just a tactic. Strafing is one thing, rapidly hopping left and right is another. They're different, so I call them different names.Watch streams and keep playing/practicing. Be aggresive and get in fights if you want to get better.
Play conservative if you want to win.
Side note: This is the first time I've ever heard of someone referring to strafing as "ADAD spam" as if its some cheap tactic lmao
Same. The faster you can get to a more regular style with the weeklies the better the game is for me.I really like the change they did to dailies. Having 4 each day, one of them seemingly always being just "play 2 games" is nice.
I'm getting shat on in the solo queue.I'm averaging about 2 wins a day right now and I'm only playing about an hour a day during work breaks. I think they tweaked the SBMM algorithm or something. Anyone else with a similar experience?
I haven't played much this season (hour here or there), but yeah, I've been getting lots of wins (for me).I'm averaging about 2 wins a day right now and I'm only playing about an hour a day during work breaks.

Our first ranked match of the season. We started at gold II (demoted from diamond 4). I swear to you guys, more than half the lobby had predator trails and the rest were diamond. We were baffled. The next match was much more in line with gold. It almost felt like a glitch.
Happened to me and two friends of mine as well. For whatever reason, in the very first ranked game we played we were still ranked diamond. We were demoted properly only after finishing that game.Our first ranked match of the season. We started at gold II (demoted from diamond 4).

It's straight up scary to 1v1 a gibby who has a golden body shield.
Yeah you expect your teammates to be polite. But that isn't gonna happen. I would totally let lifeline get first pick of everything that drops. But at least 60% of players not only don't do this but also run to your drop and take everything. It's definitely worse at the beginning of new seasons. The worst players come back during the beginning.Ok, I have to interject here, because:
I am 100% that Lifeline.
Unless you spent your time to ping Ultimate Accelerants in order for me to call a care package much sooner, unless you brought them to me and covered me while I was using them, I will side-eye the fuck out of anyone jumping like a loot goblin on the body shield level 3 that my care package will deliver.
And EVEN if you helped me with Ultimate Accelerants, be a polite and decent teammate, ping and ask for it first, chances are I'd give it gladly to anyone I feel deserve it more, and I have done so many times in the past. But don't fucking loot it as soon as the care package drops, especially if we don't know each other. I swear to god this is just the fucking worst behavior ever as a Lifeline main because this is just goddamn disrespectful as fuck and it happens ALL THE TIME. The number of time I had random scumbags just stealing it right in front of me while they had done shit during the game to help me (none of them pinging ultimate accelerants not even once and I had to check buildings they've already looted in to find them) or the whole team, is astounding. To those people, this game is "a team game" only when the care package drops, thinking it's a free for all, but resume being solo pricks as soon as there's no Lifeline care package involved. Most of the times they go back to ignoring your existence and pings, and go die in the most idiotic ways and freely give that body shield to an enemy team. Brilliant.
And yes, I don't joke with that, I just (gently) scolded my SO earlier today about it while playing with them.
Don't be a fucking loot goblin, especially with the body shield since we all need it. If you ain't done shit to help me, I don't see why you deserve it more than me.

You also can't expect your teammates to ping. They just run around pick up everything and ping nothing.
I disagree with you on bodyshields though they are first come first serve. You really can't expect players to pass up lvl 3 or 4 shields so that you can have them.........Unless you mean only ones from your lifeline drop. I do agree that high shields in a lifeline drop should go to lifeline.
I started off well, but for the past two days my lobbies have been hell.I'm averaging about 2 wins a day right now and I'm only playing about an hour a day during work breaks. I think they tweaked the SBMM algorithm or something. Anyone else with a similar experience?
Ok goodI do mean only the ones from Lifeline's Care Package. Game's Care Packages are free4all and I have no problem with that.
