I play Apex a decent amount but with all the changes over the past few seasons I just can't find the motivation to play because no matter how many games I play and do well in its just a long grind.

I probably have the skill to hit diamond but last season I only hit plat because I quite literally gave up. All I was doing was rotating early and picking up a few kills before sitting in final ring and repeating. It just felt so unrewarding because I was only making like 100-150 and if I had an unlucky game where we died off drop it meant that to go from Div 4 to Div 3 of any rank I had to play atleast 10-12 games. This meant that after I got placed in bronze 2 after my placements I had to play about 100 games just to hit plat 4, and it probably would have taken me another 100 to get diamond but I was just sick of the game and I had other things like school to work on.

Am I just bad or is the system not working as intended? I'm confident in my skill as a player but with these new systems I've never felt so bad at the game.
