I'm having the opposite problem. Most games I'm playing have squads of people that clearly have no life and seem to know the game like the back of their hand already.
One dude who was a champion had already wracked up over 700 kills. THE GAME HASN'T EVEN BEEN OUT A WEEK YET, HOW THE FUCK.
Lol. I met a dude with 1k kills 2 days ago.
how?
I'm so glad to see the titanfall franchise bust out into the scene like this. AL is my favorite battle royale game I've ever played, I could mever stick to a br game for more than a few rounds, with Apex Legends I had my first win ever on the second day of playing.
It's been a week but I've already spent 35 hours in this game. Damn it's a lot of fun, and I love the movement mechanics compared to other BR games.
Probably the only BR game I have played which has actually felt polished with a high standard of production
I won three matches today, two were legit and pretty normal stuff, but the third had a guy who was clearly on some hard shit, who'd run around the map and detect enemy squads before 1v3ing them to
death with a pistol, like an ICBM. I didn't even get to see the people he was killing, just a pile of pilfered boxes that he left in his wake.
Either he's the most amazing player I've ever seen, or he's cheating his cock off.
Overall i think tbe weapon balance is impressive out of the gate however i feel SMGs are too weak and the Peacekeeper is way too strong
Shotguns are super strong just because they're the only ones right off the bat that can easily nuke shields in short time. The other weapons like pretty much all the automatics take way too many shots to break purple+ armor that you're better off rushing them with either an EVA or Peacekeeper and at least be able to nuke their shields quick.
I'm fine with the overall TTK, but toning down the tankiness you get from purple+ armor would be welcome as at this point, I always keep one shotgun with me late game to be able to nuke shields quick.
the peacekeeper is genuinely absurd. it's responsible for the vast majority of my deaths
it really outshines the SMGs too. it really just does a shitload of damage for how little it demands of you
Caustic + Bunker, name a more iconic duo

I actually have a hard time getting used to shotguns in this game because it feels like you have to get A LOT closer with them in this game than any other shooter.
The Peacekeeper probably is my favorite weapon in this game though. The animations, the impact of the shots, the sound design, and it just being a lever action shotgun.
Though really, if there's one thing that keeps me coming back to this game so far, it's the gunplay and just how slick it is, which makes a lot of sense given it was pretty much directly lifted from Titanfall 2 (which felt absolutely stellar to play in terms of gunplay). The abilities I could honestly take or leave, but I do see the appeal. I do think some abilities are crucial though. Like, why would you have a team without at least a Lifeline and a Bloodhound? The two most important things in a BR are your survival and where everyone else is in relation to you, and the both of them pretty much make that trivial.
I'm crashing all the time as well though half the time it comes with a memory reference error with a random string of numbers. A lot of people are having similar problems such that people on the official EA forums are complaining that their thread are getting locked without being solved. Different system specs as well
I've found that jacking everything down to its lowest setting mitigates it a little but I'm still crashing to desktop every other game. I had one earlier where we were the last of two squads with a man advantage and was in the final circle when it CTD'ed. I nearly broke my table in frustration
I played Apex Legends for the first time today, played with some rando and dropped pretty close to the south east. I was looting and got some semi auto shotty and an auto pistol then all of a sudden I got jumped by a 3 man squad, despite being against all odds I managed to pull off the 1v3 at the expense of all my ammo. Looted a couple of good guns but I ended up being sniped down about halfway through, gotta say it's a fun battle royale. I feel it's a lot like Blackout on Black Ops 4 except I've not played it, I've played the GMod Battle Royale, PUBG, Fortshite and CS:GO's Danger Zone but I swear I haven't seen any battle royale as much fun as Apex Legends.
Considering I thought it was like £40 but it's actually free, I think I'm actually in love with a battle royale game at last.
Even then i feel like the Peacemaker is stronger than any of the others, tbh i find the EVA garbage in general and the Mozam is impossible for me to hit with, but that's mostly 'cause i'm not very good :V
Pretty much the only SMG i feel is any good is the R-99 and that's purely because of the fire-rate and even then if you don't have an extended mag you're in trouble.
I never had a single CTD on the game, but most of my frirends had one or more.
peacekeeper with purple choke is godly
Might be useful to some:

These stupid gluesniffers are worse than Battlefield pubbies dear lord
aiming is not that hard you stupid tards jesus lord
I've really been enjoying the game. It has amazing polish, the presentation is stellar, and while I personally prefer solo play, I will admit that the idea of a Squad Battle Royale balanced around solely squads is a fairly interesting take, since every other Battle Royale on the market is just "if you play with teammates nothing changes except you have teammates". The sliding is really fun.
I'm just hoping they plan on adding a lot more characters, since the abilities are so simplistic.
I haven't tried pubbing yet and I have not intention of ever trying tbh. If I don't have a squad, I'm not playing.
Managed to squeeze in 2 wins today
me the entire time

friendship ended with pathfinder
now mirage is my best friend
You should try holding onto the R99 for some games. It's pretty good when you get mag upgrades and other stuff. The Prowler also pumps out great damage when you get the module for it.
this game has appeared to have killed pubg in australia and south east asia cos matchmaking redirects to north american servers.
i've been trying to get into this game but its just not clicking with me, but now i don't have a choice.
PSA: If I mark enemies that are rushing my body don't attempt to resurrect me or you kind of look like the biggest idiot on the planet thanks
I'm a broken record at this point, but seriously, what is wrong with these pubbies?
I got 2 degenerates who had Boer War radios for mics and the following matches consistently had 1 fucking idiot who takes 5 centuries staring at shit inside buildings not paying attention to us 2 moving away from the site. Then you have their god awful aims and movement that makes me question on how these people even function motor-wise.
I fucking hope AI becomes smart enough for me to just hire some to make me never play with dumbshit pubbies ever again.
Got my first win last night and it was super intense and a lot of fun. Makes me want to actually give Titanfall 2 a shot now.
Just got to the finale with another pubby and we lost to a single guy because I walked backwards down a cliff. I've never felt so bad in my entire life. Fuck me.
Playing this game without a coordinated team is like solo queuing in Overwatch, except you don't get any more chances to get your shit together if you or your teammates fuck up. So yeah, I can't play this game without friends. That's the one major flaw that I personally have with the game.
This is kind of ironic in a sense though, because I'd say the core gameplay is kind of exactly what I wanted Overwatch to be. The core movement and mechanics and choice of weapons being the same for everyone across the board with an emphasis on speed and a bit of skill, but with powers to differentiate people from one another and to help supplement play styles. I prefer that instead of Overwatch's "everything is in the abilities and heroes with no depth to the core mechanics and we lock you to a play style instead of supplement yours."
