The last time they did an in game comic, a character grabbed a Bocek to go hunt some spiders, because this was commissioned so early into the development of the weapon, it ended up as a crossbow in the comic.
So part of the reason is they don't want to look like fuckin' fools again, but mostly because it doesn't matter. No one cares about the lore.

My fav. bit of Apex lore is still a series of voice lines you only got if you happened to have Bangalore, Gibraltar, and Rampart on your team, and went to Bonsai Plaza :allears:

Apex Legends censors "ur mom" so just imagine it's always that.

You can hit tab to skip the kill cam and bring up the score.
Then you'll only be bullied by your lack of kills.

Matchmaking currently is by far the worst it's ever been.
It used to work on some 'bucket' system, trying to balance out players:

I'd usually get one team mate that was like pred level sweat, and the other that wasn't great but at least knew how to equip a shield and shoot. (how I miss that)

They then scrapped this in favour of some model with the absolutely absurd goal of balancing it so at least everyone gets one kill.

So now i get two teammates fresh out of their provisional bot games and we get rolled by some 20 bomb three stack.
It's not fair to me, it's not fair the new players, and it's just exhausting working so hard for a kill or dragging them to their first victory.
My KDR has gone up and my win rate has plummeted and it loving sucks.

Besides, it never was, and never really will be skill based, it's always been about getting you into a game asap.
