Some of the Valkyrie nerfs are unnecessary
I think the main reason why Valkyrie's pick rate went up was because of how broken Axle is. She was the main legend that had a chance to disengage from an Axle team but even so some Axle teams had Valkyries to make sure no one gets away. Now it's mainly Loba that can disengage. Before the Valkyrie buffs in season 27 the main complaint was that she's really just an EVAC item. So you yall buffed her ult by 15% height but now took it away. Maybe adjust her ult height based on the map but in my opinion this nerf wasn't needed. I think one of the biggest things going for her ult was to be able to fly past things that an EVAC couldn't and now she's just a tiny bit higher than an EVAC. There's a difference between overpowered and being useful. Valkyrie tends to be one of the best solo queue characters because she allows the person to guide the team away from terrible decisions by putting them in a better position. Currently I don't even think Valkyrie's ult is good until she gets purple because she's easy to shoot down when people are near her since her ult just goes straight up and can no longer spin.
Change Running Animation Sky Piercer
I'm a really big fan of the Sky Piercer Heirloom, but I feel like one of its most important aspects, the running animation, is a bit lackluster. We have such a cool blade tip, yet during the running animation we're mostly shown the butt of the spear. I think this is a missed opportunity, especially since the blade is such a great part of the design. I've also seen people on Reddit mention the same issue, so I was wondering if changing the animation might be possible. Even something as simple as flipping the spear around during the running animation would make a huge difference. I think it would make the heirloom feel much better and would be a change a lot of players would appreciate.Please RESPAWN Save Mirage, I got the solution
Mirage’s kit doesn’t scale with player skill — A high-level rework concept without changing his identity First, Hi everyone I’m Louis :) Now Mirage desperately needs a real high-level buff — not a new identity, just a reason for experienced players to respect his decoys I’m writing this as someone who genuinely loves Mirage and wants to keep maining him. I don’t think Mirage’s core kit is bad. The fantasy is perfect: deception, holograms, misdirection, invisibility, making enemies question what they’re seeing. The problem is that his deception stops being threatening once the enemy understands how Mirage works. And the better the lobby gets, the worse this problem becomes. Against newer or inexperienced players, Mirage can feel amazing. People shoot every decoy, panic during the ultimate, lose track of the real Mirage, and you can create some hilarious plays. But once you start fighting experienced Platinum, Diamond, Master-level players — or simply people who have played Apex for years — the experience changes completely. They know. They always know. You can send a decoy from an unexpected angle. They know it’s a decoy. You can try to move like a decoy yourself. They recognize you. You activate your ultimate while somebody is already looking at you. They track the real Mirage through the activation and immediately know which one you are. You start shooting. Now it becomes even more obvious because the real Mirage is the one actually behaving like someone fighting for his life while the holograms are just copying basic movement. The tactical is especially painful. You send one hologram. An experienced player either ignores it completely or shoots it once to confirm it’s fake. And what is the actual punishment for being fooled? Mirage gets information about where they are. That sounds useful on paper, but in a real fight Mirage often ALREADY KNOWS where that enemy is. If somebody is shooting at you from 15 meters away, knowing “the enemy is over there” is not some huge reward. There is practically no real consequence for falling for a decoy. And because there is no meaningful consequence, there is also no reason for good players to respect them. That, in my opinion, is Mirage’s biggest problem. A deception character should force the enemy to hesitate. Right now Mirage barely does that against experienced players. The solution does NOT need to be replacing his abilities or turning him into a completely different Legend. I think his current kit can work. It just needs deeper mechanics. 1. Give Mirage the ability to swap positions with his tactical decoy This is probably the biggest change I would love to see. After Mirage sends out his tactical decoy, he should be able to press the tactical button again and swap positions with that decoy. Obviously this needs limits. For example: Maximum swap range around 40–50 meters. The decoy must still be alive. Around a 10–15 second internal cooldown after swapping. Clear but brief visual/audio feedback when the swap happens. No swapping with a decoy across half the map. This would create an unbelievable amount of skill expression without changing Mirage’s identity. Imagine sending your decoy toward a rock while you fight from another angle. You get cracked. Instead of simply dying, you swap with the decoy and suddenly you’re behind the rock while another hologram continues from your original position. Or you send a decoy through a doorway. The enemy thinks: “That’s obviously a decoy. Ignore it.” Then Mirage swaps. Now ignoring a decoy has an actual risk. That is the type of mind game Mirage desperately needs. The important part is that the enemy can KNOW it is currently a decoy and still has to respect it because it could become Mirage. That changes the question from: “Is this real or fake?” to: “I think this is fake… but what happens if Mirage swaps with it?” That is real deception. 2. Being bamboozled needs an actual consequence Right now shooting a decoy is barely punished. I think successfully bamboozling somebody should cause a short holographic sensory distortion. Not a giant flashbang. Not a 3-second stun. Nothing ridiculous. Something like: Roughly 1–1.5 seconds of visual holographic distortion. Brief distorted/muffled audio. The enemy remains capable of fighting. Their exact moving position is revealed to Mirage for approximately 3–5 seconds. This would finally make people THINK before shooting every Mirage they see. You see something that might be Mirage. Do you shoot? If it is real, great. But if it is a decoy, you receive a temporary disruption and Mirage now knows exactly where you are moving. Do you ignore it? Maybe it is actually Mirage. Or maybe Mirage swaps with it. Do you wait to confirm? You just gave Mirage several hundred milliseconds of hesitation. THAT is exactly what a deception Legend should be creating. There should probably also be a short cooldown on how often one player can receive the distortion so Mirage’s ultimate doesn’t cause six overlapping effects. The point is not to stun-lock people. The point is to make being fooled actually matter. 3.Mirage’s decoys need to imitate combat much better This one feels almost necessary at this point. Mirage decoys should visually mimic more of the actions performed by the real Mirage. Things such as: ADS. Reloading. Weapon swapping. Healing animations. Crouching. Sliding. More natural movement. Firing their weapons when Mirage fires. Obviously the holographic bullets would deal zero damage. The point is visual deception. One of the biggest weaknesses of Mirage’s ultimate is that the second the real Mirage starts shooting, experienced players can often immediately identify him. Imagine instead that Mirage fires his R-301 and every hologram also visually raises its weapon and fires fake muzzle flashes/tracers. Now the enemy actually has to process the situation. A skilled player could still figure it out. Maybe they recognize where the real bullets are coming from. Maybe they understand Mirage’s positioning. Maybe they predict which copy is using cover intelligently. That is perfectly fine. Experienced players SHOULD be better at identifying Mirage. But there is an enormous difference between: “A skilled player can eventually identify Mirage” and “A skilled player instantly knows which one is Mirage, making half of his kit irrelevant.” 4.Life of the Party needs to create chaos even against veterans Mirage’s ultimate is incredibly fun conceptually, but it has one huge weakness: If somebody watches Mirage activate it, they can often track him from the beginning. That completely defeats the purpose. The decoys should have slightly more varied behavior during the first moments after activation. They could imitate firing, ADS, sliding, crouching and other actions with small timing differences instead of looking like a synchronized group of holograms. Mirage shouldn’t become impossible to identify. But the ultimate should at least reset the enemy’s certainty. When Mirage activates Life of the Party, the enemy should think: “Wait… which one?” Even if that uncertainty only lasts half a second. Because in Apex Legends, half a second can decide an entire fight. 5. His invisibility is useful, but it is not enough to carry the character The invisibility while reviving/healing is probably one of the most genuinely useful parts of Mirage’s current kit. But even this has limitations. Experienced players still hear healing. They hear movement. They understand where Mirage probably went. It is useful, and I would keep it, but it cannot compensate for the rest of his deception becoming increasingly ineffective as player knowledge improves. The biggest point I’m trying to make is this: Mirage currently scales backwards with enemy experience. Against inexperienced players, his abilities can look incredibly powerful because they make mistakes. Against experienced players, those same abilities lose enormous amounts of value because the enemy simply understands the tricks. Compare that to other Legends. Cover still provides cover against a Predator. Movement abilities still provide movement against a Predator. Smoke is still smoke against a Predator. Information abilities still provide information against a Predator. But Mirage’s primary ability is deception, and the better the enemy becomes at recognizing his patterns, the less of an ability he effectively has. That should change. A good Mirage should not require the enemy to be bad. A good Mirage should be able to outplay a good enemy. There should be a skill battle between the Mirage player creating misinformation and the enemy trying to solve it. Right now, too often, experienced players have already solved the puzzle before Mirage even presses the button. And I don’t want Mirage to become overpowered. I don’t want holograms dealing real damage. I don’t want unavoidable stuns. I don’t want Mirage suddenly becoming some teleporting assassin with no counterplay. I just want people to respect the decoy again. Give the tactical decoy the threat of a position swap. Give successful bamboozles a meaningful but short consequence. Make holograms convincingly imitate combat actions. Make the ultimate create actual uncertainty instead of becoming immediately readable. Keep the invisibility. Keep the personality. Keep Psyche Out. Keep Life of the Party. Keep Mirage being Mirage. Just give experienced Mirage players enough tools to actually deceive experienced Apex players. Because Mirage is one of the most unique and lovable characters in Apex, and it genuinely sucks loving this Legend, wanting to main him, making the smartest decoy play you can think of… …and watching another veteran player immediately look at you like: “Yeah. I know that one is you.” Please give the holographic trickster some real tricks again. Mirage shouldn’t only bamboozle beginners. He should be capable of bamboozling the best players in the game — if the Mirage player is good enough. Please Respawn, Save Mirage :(
Unfair Heirloom - Pre-Shard Heirloom Players Should Get a One-Time Choice
Hey, I’ve been playing Apex since Season 1 - Season 2, and before Heirloom Shards (back in season 1-2-3) existed I got Wraith’s Kunai from a pack, back when it was the only heirloom available and players had no choice in what they received. I’ve never really played Wraith, so I find it unfair that newer players who get an heirloom can choose what they want through shards, while older players are permanently stuck with what the old system gave them. I’m not asking for a free heirloom or extra shards — I’m simply suggesting that players who received an heirloom before shards existed should get a one-time option to convert that original heirloom into shards and make the same choice players have today. Appreciate the help in voting this up to get the attention of the Devs. Thank you Attached is my acc to prove I was on back in season 2.
Vod review
Why isnt there a replay function for ranked games? I feel like as a competitive game it would add so much more depth to the game and pro circuit by having match replay functino so that you can actually hyper analyze the match. Watching a replay of the match that only has YOUR pov is kinda one dimensional because you cant free cam around what you are doing and theory craft about potential strategy or missed opportunity. And it can also generate allot more educational content from pro players or teams allowing/giving the tools they need to make good coaching content. Am i crazy or?Ranked Throwing or disconnects
I definitely think there needs to be harsher penalties for people throwing the game to lose in ranked or just disconnecting in general in the time since this season has quite common since ranking through bronze to gold. [CM edit - attachment removed for Naming & Shaming]Game crashing
I play on a switch 2 and 1 out of 5 games I play the game kicks me out and I have to restart it. I find it annoying due to being dead or just left behind. Anyone else having this problem with other systems. I know switch is the ugly stepchild of apex. It should still stay on and not crash this often.Rampart and Bloodhound (S30)
Rampart had the difficulty of requiring an aggressive playstyle despite lacking mobility, but the usability improvements in season 30 mitigated that difficulty. There are the opinion that Sheila's movement speed is too fast, I viewed mostly positively. Making characters easy to use raises the lower bound of player impact, which leads to the improvement of player retention rate. Aren't adjustments made after understanding a character's traits and inherent difficulties what Apex needs right now? Characters like Alter and Axel, who have few risks and can assume multiple roles, stagnated the game where the meta is fixed. As a result, the fixed meta increased the dropout rate of players. If multiple roles are given, a price (such as a large hitbox) is necessary, like Fuse or Pathfinder. Was the ability to become invisible for Bloodhound welcomed? To prevent the collapse of balance, the developers implemented easily discovered invisibility ability. This ability did not function, and it looks like complaints arose even from players who were initially positive about Bloodhound's rework. There are also opinions that Bloodhound's Ability Skill visual effects are hard to see.Please give the r99 more ammo
The r99 simply cannot kill a person with the standard clip, 18 bullets is terrible for a gun that shoots that fast, i was not able to get a single kill on a person later in the game with that magazine size, if the devs can buff bloodhound making him invisible they can most definitely add a few more bullets to the gunOYUNUN SONU - End of the game
END OF THE GAME Hello. I’ve been playing this game on PS and Xbox since day one, and I even stream it on Twitch on a small scale. I love playing it despite all its flaws, but with the latest update, you’ve completely ruined the aim assist. It feels like I’ve lost my muscle memory; my aim won't stay locked on the target. I’m sick of getting killed by players with lower skill levels than mine. The worst part is that you don't share details about the updates or errors you introduce. It’s impossible for me to play the game like this. My entire aim sensitivity setup is ruined—I’m even crashing into walls while running. I’m forced to quit the game because of this; I just can't put up with this ordeal anymore.How do I make a new account without getting banned?
I lost access to my old account for apex and now i keep trying to make new ea accounts so i can play the game, but keep getting perma-banned for "botting" / "being boosted". I love for anyone that has an idea or tips on how to fix this because it is slightly frustrating. It can be extremely difficult for people who have lost accounts that are irrecoverable so how do you distinguish between returning players on new accounts and people who are making new accounts in order to cheat/smurf. I don't really know so. Any ideas are welcome/ suggestionsPlease bring back individual season kill counters for each legend
It is such a unique metric and one that can players can grind for, please consider adding these back. Id much rather have these over holosprays. NO ONE LIKES HOLOSPRAYS I PROMISE, PLEASE STOP WASTING YOUR TIME AND RESOURCES ON HOLOSPRAYS.
Please add full solo queue to bot royale
I want you to add "fill teammates" checkbox in bot royale because I feel teammates are obstacle to proceed battle pass mission. Especially, "Open newtral care package and get item" and "Survive ring contraction" missions are difficult to proceed faster in one game. It's because games usually end in round 2 or 3. It means teammates prevent me to control the game time. So, in worst case, some game ends before I get to care package. I think so is I play apex only in a day in a week. Also, I think this mode isn't always needs teammate such ranked. Actually I was hesitate to write this feedback in previous season, but in this season, bots in bot royale have not only nemesis, r301, r99, and alternator, so I wrote feedback to hope for implementing checkbox. Even if I receive any critic, I never bend this opinion!Please bring back the old colorblind settings
The current colorblind settings make it extremely difficult for me to distinguish enemy characters from the background. This is not simply an aiming issue. In many situations, I cannot clearly see the enemy character itself, even when they are on my screen. I do not have this visibility problem in other FPS/TPS games. I have also tried changing monitors and adjusting display settings, but the problem remains specifically in Apex Legends. The previous colorblind settings were much easier for me to see and play with. Please bring back the previous colorblind settings, or add an option that allows players to choose between the old and current versions. For me, this is an accessibility and gameplay issue because I often cannot visually distinguish enemies well enough to react or aim at them.Please Bring Apex Legends Mobile Back!
Dear EA and Respawn, Please consider bringing Apex Legends Mobile back to iOS and Android. Many players still miss the game and would love to play Apex Legends on mobile again. Apex Legends Mobile had a great gameplay experience, and I believe a new version with updated graphics, better performance, and regular updates could be very successful. Please listen to the community and consider giving Apex Legends Mobile another chance. We really want Apex Mobile back! Thank you.Octane REWORK: he isn’t what he’s supposed to be.
Octane Rework Concept — Let the Speedster Be the Speedster I’ve played Octane forever; he’s pretty much the only Legend I play. I’ve noticed that Apex is advancing quickly and leaning into a realm where Legends are becoming increasingly powerful, with reworks coming in left and right. That’s why it bugs me that Octane isn’t the fastest on his feet. He’s literally a speedster, yet he can be outshined by GIBBY (Axle is understandable). So, as a diehard Octane fan, I wanted to propose a rework. Please hear me out! Base Movement Speed Increase Base Speed: 299 units → 325 units Octane should feel like the fastest Legend when it comes to pure movement. Passive — Hydraulic Legs Running for a short period of time allows Octane to perform a boosted long jump by holding the jump button once the short meter is filled. Think of it somewhat like Sparrow’s double jump or Revenant’s tactical movement. This would utilize Octane’s hydraulic legs and give his movement a unique skill expression without simply making him run faster all the time. Tactical — Stim Keep: 40% speed increase Adjust: Duration: 6 sec → 9 sec Reuse time: 0.7 sec → 1.2 sec Add: +20 Overhealth instead of losing HP Begins passive healing at 5 HP/second Healing is lost when Octane is shot Continues to clear/reduce movement slows Allows Octane to use consumables while sprinting Stim Surge: Keep Stim Surge, but adjust it around the new Stim. Reapplying Stim affects/etc. would remain part of the mechanic while working with the new version of the tactical. Ultimate — SCRAP THE PADS! I think Octane’s Launch Pads have run their course. Instead, I’d completely rework his Ultimate around his character and backstory. Concept: “TURN IT UP TO THE MAX” Octane has reached the pinnacle of the entertainment industry as a stunt content creator and decides to turn it up to the max, pushing his adrenaline to its absolute limit. Octane takes 3 Surge Stims and injects the adrenaline booster into his body. At this point, he should have an extremely high tolerance for adrenaline. He looks into the screen of his cam as he boots up his livestream. The screen effect would be similar to Bloodhound’s Beast of the Hunt, grey tinted screen except opponents and their movement trails would appear lime green, with REC indicators and camera borders around the screen. As the full effect of the adrenaline injections kicks in, Octane puts on his best performance yet. Rework Stats: 55% speed boost +10–13% damage nullification (He’s not supposed to “feel” pain.) +10–15% reload/consumable use speed 30 second duration “GOING VIRAL” — Duration Extension Every shield/armor break, knock, or kill gives Octane: +2.5 million views to the viewer count = +7 seconds of Ultimate duration This would make the Ultimate progressively more rewarding as Octane performs well. Cooldown: 85 or 95 seconds I think this fits Octane incredibly well because it follows his backstory and expands on the whole idea of him being a crazy adrenaline-fueled stunt performer and content creator. He isn’t just activating an Ultimate. He’s putting on a show for his audience. You could even add background music and faint crowd cheers while the Ultimate is active to really sell the idea that Octane is performing for his livestream. Skin Concept For the skin tied to this rework, I’d definitely want: His motocross helmet Glowing green veins Preferably his original color scheme And PLEASE allow his second butterfly knife to replace the original knife on his banner pose if it’s equipped. That would be such a cool finishing touch for an Octane-focused rework. #Octane #Legends
