Honestly Im so fed up with Apex lately. I keep getting absolutely crushed every single time I drop into a lobby and I feel like I have zero clue what Im doing. Ive been playing for about three weeks now, mostly in the evenings after work here in Chicago, and I really thought I would pick this up faster but its just not clicking. I keep watching these videos on YouTube where people are doing these crazy movement tricks and using abilities I didnt even know existed, and then I jump into a game and get wiped in like ten seconds by some sweat with a glowing skin.

Its super annoying because I really want to enjoy this game with my friends who are already way higher level than me, but I feel like such a liability. I keep picking random legends and then forgetting to use their tacticals until I am already dead on the floor. I dont have a huge budget to buy all the premium ones right now either so I am pretty much stuck with the base roster, which is fine, but I dont even know which ones are actually worth learning properly. Am I supposed to be focusing on movement, positioning, or just learning how to actually shoot the guns first? Or are there specific skills or character types I should be prioritizing so I dont just stand there like a sitting duck every single round? If I have to get sent back to the lobby one more time without even getting a single knock I might actually lose my mind. Which legends should I stick with to actually start improving and what specific skills do I need to focus on so I dont feel totally useless?
