All I know is if someone has over 20000 Apex rating.. The person might deserve benefit of doubt to be a decent player... That can be misleading... I played with awful 25k+ player and great 856 player.

Apex rating means only 100% one thing and only one thing, said player has played meamp alot. Performance reliability is not related and cant be reliably judged from apex rating. Pc players on average are fudging terrible be they apex 1 to 32k being the highest ive puged with. Gameplay determins how good a player is, shyt even in game score isnt a great gauge.

I only pay attention to apex when a tough modifier comes up on gold like "Don't Go Looking For Trouble" (11 waves) or "One Life To Live" those are the matches where I'm kicking a Rank 10, Level 20 Human Adept with 3,000 apex. Why would you kick this person? If that's not good enough for you, it sounds like you're the person who shouldn't be playing this mission.

I say ping is a far stronger factor of how one is able to perform than pretty much anything else. And I am talking about 200 plus ms, dead enemies standing up all over the place, that sort of thing. 150-ish ping can't be called lag in my book at this point.
300 ms ping (most European hosts) or 210 ms ping (most American hosts) being the majority of the playerbase, I often find myself not being able to contribute much despite my 38k Apex ranting. I often burn 2-4 of each consumable to get away with an acceptable performance. Whereas when hosting it almost feels as if enemies heads are seeking and lining up to my aim and health gate is way, just way too forgiving.

I found some mic players to be annoying...they don't talk just left their mic on and you can hear everything in their background. This stuff never gets old.....mute** Heavy breathers are the worst. I've once said: 'I'm all for using a mic but use it for communicating.' No response. "I know you can hear me, mute yourself if you're not gonna talk." No response, not even a change in breathing. What a cockbite. Been there....it is really annoying. I would rather died in a wave an mute that sh*t immediately. Using one gel is worth it

I played with awful 25k+ player and great 856 player. Well, sometimes they got their brothers and their friends playing, so yeah u never know who is actually behind the controller. Apex rating might indicate how good they are, bc we just assume the longer u play the better u are at it, but it might not work sometimes

How is Apex Rating calculated? What are the ways in which you can raise your apex rating. Also, my current apex rating is around 6,000 or 7,000 and I have never been kicked from a gold extraction but I dont play them much yet what is about the average rating for gold missions this form has seen. This is the main reason I am asking all this because I want to start doing alot of gold missions for the credits. There is a complex and highly accurate algorithm 9n place. Once you play 10 games it accurately ranks you. Doesn't matter how much you play or what you do. Your apex is solely based on your skill level and score per minute. So if you have a low apex, the game thinks you are bad.

Players don't realize that the default setting on mic is auto-talk I had a player on the phone having a heated argument with his girlfriend? wife? about who was going to pick up an item and when. Played quite well considering. When the person is having a conversation I like to chime in and give some advice. Their reaction is priceless

No one really knows, apparently. I looked around on the webs and there are all kinds of assertions of how it incorporates scoring best in matches,scoring in-game medals, leveling up characters and even kill/death ratio is mentioned. Yet none of these 'reports' have any underlying statistics or sources so they're all bogus as far as I'm concerned. Yet, that being said, no one can sensibly assert that APEX rating isn't that important either.The only thing I know for sure is that it obviously goes up by playing MP matches and that you get 25 APEX points when you reset a character from 20 to 1. I'll have a look in game, though, to see if I can figure anything out... To correct myself, BSN does seem to know and it seems clear that APEX rating doesn't incorporate any reflection of skill as such but... That can be misleading... I played with awful 25k+ player and great 856 player. Emphasis on... might... lol Apex rating means only 100% one thing and only one thing, said player has played meamp alot. Performance reliability is not related and cant be reliably judged from apex rating. Pc players on average are fudging terrible be they apex 1 to 32k being the highest ive puged with. Gameplay determins how good a player is, shyt even in game score isnt a great gauge. ...while I do agree with you guys that there are good low-APEX and bad high-APEX players, since the rating accounts for having played (and extracted) a lot, I also think this means at least something: players who have played a lot generally tend to get better and develop routine, imo. I never kickvoted for anybody based on APEX rating alone btw. As long as their character level is around 16 - 20, I don't mind anyone in a Gold lobby...

All I know is if someone has over 20000 Apex rating.. The person might deserve benefit of doubt to be a decent player... At least on PSN there are a few 20,000+ players that are complete and total garbage. If you can't score 15,000 by the start of Wave 7 against Kett then you probably need to go to killabkilledb 's "Uncle Killa's Pug School for the Gifted and Talented (at being total dog shit)." There's a couple guys in the top 5 of the PSN Leaderboards who are consistently at the bottom of my lobbies by about 5-8,000 points.

This game has several bugs when played off-host which can greatly hamper one's performance, particularly under high, cross-region pings. Those bugs can't, unfortunately, be minimized by having a higher Apex rating. Therefore you outscoring high Apex rating players in your lobby really doesn't tell us much of how bad or good they are.
