Just spent two awful days of grinding my face off trying to get the final 200 RP in apex legends ranked to move up. taking one step forwards then 10 steps back as every good game was followed by 10 miserable ones with awful awful teammates doing the most stupid shit imaginable
but finally got paired with what seemed like an awful team.first player jumps solo and second jumps but we both land on the loot train anyways thankfully. jumpmaster literally hoovers up the whole train of loot with a legendary backpack and I'm left jumping off one step behind her with a mozambique and no shields. they they proceed to hoover up every bit of ammo next to any weapon I might pick up and toss what they dont need in the middle of nowhere while rotating. luckily we manage to gear up fully incl a trip to a vault, the circle ends up moving back to where we started so we double back and run into a group who down the loot goblin immediately so all that gear is wasted. I knock 2 but the third sneaks up on me. solo jumper guy had legged it but doubled back to get our banners and kill the last member of their team. we respawn with 6 or 7 teams left and fuck all gear for the final fight, we pick over the area we'd already been through and get a mishmash of basic shit, I manage to eliminate the third on an attacking team who ambushed us and get both my teammates back up, we prepare for the final push and loot goblin takes ALL the health items from the 3 death boxes, we get to where the final ring will be, take out another team, who posiitioned badly leaving three left, we trap one guy until the ring moves and reposition, he jump pads into the middle of us and downs the loot goblin fully and knocks the solo jumper. I elimiinate him, pick up solo jumper, scan the building and there's one guy in a building with one door not outside the ring. he comes to the door to exchange fire, pings my gold body shield and says fuck this back inside. I loot a deathbox behind some cover and solo jumper runs into the building but loses his nerve and comes back out, I toss the grenade I just picked up into the back of the building by the ring and hit some gas from another teams caustic just as the ring moves, I scan and the gas knocked him and he's stuck behind it. we wait for someone else to pop their head up but nope CHAMP-I-ON for full points to get me all the way over the line .
Now I dont have to step foot into ranked or world's fucking edge for a long while by choice (seriously hate that map now).
For having done it in solo queue with no mic I've got to be happy with that.
What's the weighting like for wins and loses in Apex? I've never bothered with ranked on it because Overwatch scarred me for life after a lose removed 3x as many points as you gain from a win.
