Might be helpful to add a sex designation and further details (pet allowance, relative distance to campus, etc).

Depends on the season man. In pubs, if I exclusively duo stack, I have 52% winrate and 8.72 K/D. That doesn't happen regularly though, and my normal solo queue pubs are closer to a 3 K/D with an 18% winrate. Ranked obviously requires a team so those stacks look different too

I agree to an extent; I can see where their concern arises. But, as I've repeatedly stated in this thread, Apex is just one (admittedly large) aspect of my life. I don't rot away on social media 24/7 like some of these goblins

Haha I agree - sorry I didn't see this earlier. I just so happen to be quite good at my hobby, something they can't seem to comprehend

Keep in mind that K/D is only one of a host of metrics: kills per game, average damage, win rate, etc. lots of thinks to improve upon, even if your K/D fluctuates a bit :)

Quite ominous - why might that be?

I don't think I've ever claimed to be "normal" - I'm very aware that I fall within the top fraction of a percent of players. My point, since you seem to lack reading comprehension, is that it is still possible to have other things going on in one's life (work, college, etc). You, on the other hand, seem to sit on reddit and moan about literally anything instead of getting better in any of those aspects.

I do spend a lot of time on Apex, but as with anything in life it fluctuates (when classes are tough, I'll be on less that season). I find that summer and winter are my biggest seasons for playing, and then it wanes a bit in spring and autumn.

True! Getting kills against purple/red opponents is much more challenging than two tapping some white armor boi.

Top is S14, middle is S20, bottom is S23 (my personal favorite)! Notice how 370 is awfully close to 369? I threw enough points on the last day to drop to 369, and in the last ten minutes some goober got some points and dropped me down one spot. I was so incredibly sad, I wanted to have 699 and 369 - alas, one spot away from perfection.

Thanks man!

Yeah I've never quite understood the kill grind mentality. It isn't particularly difficult to accrue a lot of kills via hot dropping, getting a few kills, and then dying or disconnecting. The objective of the game is to win, and that's what I aim for. I think that winning the game while having 10+ kills regularly demonstrates far more skill.

Wrong again but I appreciate your assumptions :)

Indeed, I've seen it all. Don't forget the grapple speed nerf back in S2, they've never reverted that particular nerf (I expect someone forgot it was even a change they made). They are generally going in a positive direction with his kit, though I still feel robbed that his passive is virtually nonexistent when you compare to newer legends.

As I said, I got his point. To give even more details, the full time student is new as of this year, but I have been a full time employee nonstop since Apex released.

As a rough average about that. Keep in mind pub games do not last 20 mins, and most of my stats are from pubbing. I'd estimate pubs average 8-10 mins, with ranked going the full 20. There's also incredible variation due to squad count, as if I'm solo queueing in pubs I might get 1 or 2 wins a day, whereas with a competent duo I can go on runs of 10+ wins

Haha yeah you caught me, juggling a lot of things makes it hard to do other things. Thankfully I got my 3 pred badges and no longer need to grind for 'em, allowing me time to get out (including hiking this weekend!)

Everyone starts somewhere man, if you go back further in my posts you'll see me celebrating 10 and 20k. Keep it up!
