Proposal: Introduce Light Aim Assist (0.2) for MnK Players
As an MnK player, I would like to make a suggestion to improve game fairness and overall player experience. In Apex Legends, controller (PAD) input is equipped with strong aim assist (primarily in the 0.4–0.6 range), while MnK input has no aim assist whatsoever. This design appears to respect the precision of the mouse, but it has resulted in a significant performance gap in practice. According to reliable large-scale statistical data (such as R5 Reloaded analysis): PAD average accuracy: ~33.57% MnK average accuracy: ~25.72% PAD players record approximately 30.5% higher accuracy. Furthermore, the top 60% of PAD players surpass the accuracy of the top 1% of MnK players, and even the top 4% of MnK players only barely reach the overall PAD average. Reports also indicate that PAD holds roughly a 31.5% advantage in KD ratio. This disparity is difficult to overcome even for highly skilled MnK players who fully utilize advanced movement and character control. Especially in close-to-mid range tracking fights and chaotic team fights, the controller’s rotational aim assist provides a major advantage, affecting overall engagement win rates. Proposal I kindly request that a very light aim assist of around 0.2 be introduced for MnK as well. Compared to the controller’s 0.4–0.6, 0.2 is sufficiently modest. It would not compromise the mouse’s inherent precision while still partially correcting the accuracy gap. Taking the existing ~30% accuracy difference into account, I believe this would be an appropriate adjustment range. After implementation, the value can be fine-tuned based on data. Possible approaches include: If issues arise: adjust downward (0.2 → 0.15 → 0.125) Alternatively: start at 0.1 and gradually increase (0.1 → 0.15 → 0.2) while monitoring balance I believe this cautious, data-driven approach would allow for meaningful improvement with minimal disruption. Expected Effects Reduce MnK player churn and encourage new MnK players to join Improve overall match quality by addressing input method disparities Contribute to a healthier community overall I apologize for reaching out despite your busy schedule, but I would greatly appreciate it if you could verify this using official data or internal testing and consider the proposal. I will continue to support Apex Legends going forward. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.Season ideas to fix lore and add more of Titanfall
Overview Recent seasons of Apex Legends have faced criticism regarding a narrative disconnect, where newer legends feel detached from the foundational Titanfall universe. Furthermore, live-service limitations have trapped major character arcs (such as Horizon’s quest to save her son) in an indefinite status quo. This two-part seasonal roadmap ("Fractured Reality" Event & "Frontier Legends" Season) provides a concrete, development-friendly framework to progress the lore, resolve the timeline deadlock, and safely introduce Jack Cooper without compromising competitive balance. Part 1: Mid-Season Event – "Fractured Reality" Narrative Hook: Alter manipulates Horizon into using a volatile Ark Shard to build a time machine, hoping to trigger a localized timeline collapse. The Map Concept: "The Fractured Nexus" Instead of a standard map update, a reality glitch fractures a map into four chronological quadrants, separated by glowing purple Void borders: Quadrant 1 (The Present): Standard, modern POIs (e.g., Storm Point architecture). Quadrant 2 (The Titanfall Past): A pristine, high-tech IMC facility straight out of Titanfall 2's "Effect and Cause" mission, complete with automated defense aesthetics. Quadrant 3 (The Burning Future): An apocalyptic, ash-covered wasteland teasing a collapsed reality. Quadrant 4 (The Alternate Dimension): A surreal, gravity-defying alien landscape. The In-Game Event Loop To give players narrative agency and drive engagement, the event utilizes an active, in-match community mechanic: The Hunt: Teams locate Chronal Stabilizers scattered across the map. The Interactive Fix: Bringing a stabilizer to a rift terminal initiates a 60-second territorial defense event. Teams must hold off third parties while the data uploads. Global Progression: Successful extractions feed a global community tracker. As the tracker fills, the purple Void borders visually shrink, signaling that the community is helping Horizon stabilize the timeline. Part 2: Season Launch – "Frontier Legends" The Narrative Resolution: Horizon successfully utilizes the stabilized data to execute a precise "time commute"—she can visit her son in the past and instantly snap back to the exact millisecond she left in the present, preserving her place in the Apex Games. However, the energy snap creates a "rubber-band" effect, dragging a prime Jack Cooper out of the past and trapping him in the modern Outlands. New Legend: Jack Cooper (The Vanguard Pilot) To satisfy Titanfall purists without breaking the speed and balancing of a modern battle royale, Cooper's kit trades high-speed mobility for heavy-hitting tactical utility. Passive (Pilot Mobility): Retains basic wall-running and double-jumping capabilities, but governed by a strict internal cooldown/stamina bar to prevent map exploitation. Tactical (Data Knife): A skill-shot projectile that can temporarily blind enemy HUDs, instantly hack/neutralize deployable traps (Caustic barrels, Wattson fences), or instantly download data from Recon Beacons. Ultimate (Vanguard Juggernaut): Cooper calls down an orbital armor pod that locks heavy, modular Vanguard plating onto his torso. The Stats: Cooper gains a temporary 100-point overshield that mitigates stun effects. To balance this defense, his movement and turning speed are reduced by 15%, and his hitbox increases. The Arsenal: His normal weapons are disabled. He is locked into a scaled-down XO-16 Micro-Chaingun(requires aiming down sights for accuracy) and an Acolyte Missile Salvo(fires a straight-line, unguided spiral of 4 micro-missiles to clear defensive covers). Built-In Counter-Play The Juggernaut Ultimate features explicit counter-play to ensure competitive integrity: Speed Flanking: Because of Cooper's reduced turn rate and mobility while armored, high-mobility Legends like Octane, Pathfinder, or Wraith can easily out-maneuver and strike him from behind. Lone-Wolf Vulnerability: The armor is highly effective in coordinated squad pushes but easily dismantled if Cooper separates from his teammates.
Bring back Quads & Solos
We need to bring back Quads & Solos! With the recent positive changes for Apex Legends, I think it would be the right time to consider bringing back quads and/or solos. The benefits this will bring to Apex Legends outweigh the cons. Why? Many people play with more than 3 friends at once, which can be difficult when you frequently have to split the team. The availability of quads would increase the amount of people who play Apex Legends on a regular basis by making the game accesible to larger teams, which in return would give matchmaking more people to choose from. What about matchmaking? There are enough players on Apex Legends already to alter matchmaking in a way that reduces wait times, not only from the an increase in players playing as quads. This can be done by broadening the variety in skill and forcing matchmaking to wait for a certain percentage of players to be available to create a match that doesn't feel dead.
Ash needs a few changes... (Detailed)
I personally believe that Ash needs a buff, at her peak when she was "unbalanced" she had 2 dashes which each has a 30% speed bonus compared to 1 now, while also nerfing the Ash dash cooldown to (8 or 12) seconds (I timed 10 seconds), I think a fair change would be to change the dash cooldown, speed, or amount. Dashing currently feels very momentum based, its only really useful if you do it with speed already (e.g. after a superglide/mantle boost/wall bounce/jump pad etc) but when doing a normal slide jump, it feels very unrewarding. First option Change Ash dash cooldown to 6 seconds (1 max dash), and give a small bonus speed % (e.g. 15%). I believe she should become an Assault, as characters like Revenant, Fuse, have very high movement capabilities but also stay in the Assault role. Second option Make Ashes cooldown 8 seconds, if not already 8 seconds, make her Level 2 (Blue perks) the current Level 3 (Purple perks) (+1 Snare // or // Multiple enemies snared and longer duration), then make her purple perks something like (+1 dash // or // -30s Ult cooldown). The level 3 perks are suggested so you still need to get her to level 3 before you can get an extra dash if you want to chose that, and with the previously nerfed speed of ash dashes it would be the furthest thing from overpowered. With an extra potential dash i feel like she would fit more into the (Skirmisher role). These are only ideas, if in testing they would be too overpowered nerf at your own will but i believe it would create more balance as the current Ash pick rate is pretty low. OPEN TO DISCUSSION.Can we Add Random Heirloom Toggle ？
Dear Respawn Team, I hope you can add a random heirloom option in the game, just like the random weapon skin function. Let players turn on this switch, and the game will randomly select owned heirlooms every match automatically. Now many players have collected lots of character heirlooms and universal heirlooms. It is really troublesome to switch them manually every time. This small quality of life change will bring great convenience and fun to all players. This function is simple to achieve and will not affect game balance at all. Thank you very much for reading and considering this suggestion!Axle is way too fast and OP for controller aiming sense
I’m a console and controller player and use a 5, 4 aiming sensitivity to have pretty decent aim in the game, all the legends don’t seem to be too quick or overpowered for the 4 ads aiming sensitivity I use but Axle is so quick with her tac and sliding that when I aim in my sense and controller aiming speed is way too slow to even track her down when she’s sliding and shooting at me and for the Axle it’s easy to hit me because their pushing me and sliding around me, I just think this legend needs a speed nerf and nerf overall because it is unfair for us controller players with smooth and slow aiming sensitivities.Console cheaters are getting out of hand.
Okay so I’m back here again about a year later and somehow even after your little ban wave there seems to be even more cheaters now on console than ever before! And they don’t even hide it! Half of them advertising boosting in their names or simply say they’re cheating! Yet somehow we are still here just letting them run rampant! It is beyond a joke at this point and how you find it acceptable it beyond me! You need to address it! Why is it that I have to clip cheaters and submit it to your “ban discord” and yet still nothing happens. Do your job.Why is aim assist allowed in Ranked?
People always say that aim assist exists to help casual players. If that's the case, I don't understand why it's still allowed in Ranked and the competitive scene. Is it impossible to see a competition based purely on raw skill among top players in Apex? I can understand having it in casual or other modes, but I don't get why it's in Ranked. The patch notes mentioned the game being "competitive," but a system that narrows the skill gap between beginners and high-level players doesn't make any sense for a competitive mode.
Apex-In game disconnection
I don’t know if this happens to anyone else but I’m getting frustrated by it. I’m in a ranked game and in random moments it just disconnects me off the game. No it’s not my connection, I have a LAN cable with 300MBPS connection speed. It’s happened to me twice by now and not only that, I’m getting a penalty for “abandoning” the game and an MR reduction. In one game in gold I lost 74 points. Share this so they can fix this bug please for the love of god.Axle’s Ultimate Feels More Frustrating Than Overpowered
I actually don’t hate Axle. To be honest, I think she brought a pretty interesting and refreshing pace to Apex. That said, I do think her Ultimate is currently too punishing for certain weapon types. I’m not even saying the Ultimate necessarily needs less HP. The problem is that some weapons are naturally far worse at dealing with it than others. Maybe instead of simply lowering the drone’s health, could experiment with weapon-class damage multipliers against the Ultimate. For example: shotguns could deal bonus damage to the drone at close range Snipers and Marksman weapons could also receive increased damage against it while automatic weapons would remain mostly unchanged. That way, the Ultimate still stays threatening, but counterplay becomes less frustrating depending on your loadout.New Apex Season: Shadows Mask
So: new season idea, and its pretty easy to inplement tbh. Shadow Royale, love or hate it I think it has its merits. I think a new season based around it woukd be incredible one of these upcoming halloweens. Here would be some of the highlights: Bring back night time maps. E-District at Night, King's Canyon at Night, Olympus at Night, etc. I know I and plenty of other people appreciate the darker courts sometimes, and would love to see them in game in some way. New Legend: Shadow Revenant We already have a backstory, some abilities, animations, voice lines, etc. He can wall run and does 50 per melee, he can launch a rev shell as a tactical, there are plenty of ideas explored through halloween events that can be used as his abilities. New Gun: Mozam-mash Let's be real: the communitu live the Mozamblam, Mozamblique, and Mozambrrrr, so bring them back. Make them into one gun like the car which switches ammo types to do its different effects, and nerf them all a bit to make it balanced for game. No one will pass by a Mozambique again !!!! New Cosmetics: Halloween themed skins for some of the newer arrivals, like a skeletal motorbiker Axle and a Magma Catalyst, maybe a Mummy Sparrow and a Frankenstein (Victor Frankenstein) Ballistic. The possibilities are endless. If u like this idea and want to hear more, I have plenty of in depth and lore accurate ideas to share. Have a great day !!!!Respawn painted themselves into a corner with Axle
I think the biggest issue people have with the character is that Axle's abilities completely violate the flow and timing of fights. Even at their strongest, characters like Octane, Horizon, Ash, and Alter still remained within the bounds of the game's timing. Axle has completely changed that timing, and for a lot of people it ruins the experience and flow of the game. Axle will invariably get nerfed, but how will that look? The way the kit is designed pretty much makes this character all or nothing. The tactical ability: This is basically an Octane ult on steroids that refreshes way too quickly. Players stay low to the ground, can potentially get double jumps from the purple perk, and the pads remain forever (unless destroyed, similar to Octane's pad). Possible nerfs: Substantially increased cooldown time, only x amount of pads deployed at one time, substantially decreased sliding distance, pads disappearing after x amount of time, only Axle being able to use them. The ultimate: heat seeking missile that goes through any fortification Possible nerfs: Gibby bubble, Newcastle wall, Wattson pylon (stops ult entirely)/fences, Crypto emp all make the ult detonate before breaching. All of these nerfs will greatly diminish the potency and viability of this character. From what I've seen, and short of a substantial re-work of the tactical and ultimate abilities, Axle will either be OP or nerfed so badly that no one will want to play the character.
