Why is the kraber so **bleep** nowadays
I recently played a match where me and my hg were in a top two situation and I hit a headshot on a person with blue shields and they didn’t get knocked and it’s really annoying that they did that to the kraber and I feel like they need to change it too where you won’t die form a headshot if you have purple armor but if you have blue it shouldMatchmaking crazy
The new season started off ok. Played yesterday and matchmaking was hit and miss but had a few games. Tried to play again today (two of us + random) and it was absolutely awful. Every single game was a super high end lobby, we are rock bottom or **bleep** near rock bottom game after game. Absolutely destroyed every single encounter. I think in 8 games I had 1 assist and probably averaged about 50 damage because everyone was so good. I can’t compete with that and it was an awful experience. We did not play long (8 games doesn’t take long when you get smashed in your first encounter every time) and just gave up. Please fix this. It was a miserable experience.Aim bot
Players using aimbot (zen, titan2, strike packs) is getting way outta hand. Is there ANYTHING you can do to fix this issue?! I log in trying to enjoy a game and instantly melted. Doesn’t matter if you’re sliding, jumping, mix direction, falling, or zipping. I know I can’t be the only person experiencing this issue. I have good internet (500mbps) connection which is ethernet(plugged in to Xbox) , over 60 fps.A Logical Critique of Controller Player Advantages in Apex Legends
In the current state of Apex Legends, the imbalance between controller users and mouse-and-keyboard players has become increasingly difficult to ignore. While the developers insist that the game is “balanced around input,” the real in-game experience suggests otherwise. Controller users benefit from built-in aim correction systems that reduce the mechanical demands normally required in a high-skill FPS. These advantages have clear competitive consequences that cannot be dismissed as simple preference. 1. Aim Assist Removes a Core Skill Expression Players on keyboard and mouse rely on precision, micro-adjustments, recoil control, and manual execution to win close-range duels. Controller users, on the other hand, receive automated tracking support that compensates for human error and fundamentally alters how engagements are decided. This automated tracking: – Follows enemy movement in close-quarters – Reduces punishment for missed opening shots – Enables high accuracy without equivalent mechanical input – Provides extra stability during strafing or fast movement In high-stakes duels, where milliseconds determine the outcome, this automated correction is excessively influential. A system cannot be considered competitive when one input method literally corrects aim for the player. 2. Close-Range Meta Directly Favors Assisted Input The current close-range environment favors SMGs, shotguns, and fast hip-fire weapons — all of which benefit heavily from the tracking slowdown given to controller users. Because of this: – Assisted players win chaotic close-range brawls far more often – Keyboard-and-mouse movement techniques lose value – Weapon skill expression gets overshadowed by assistance The sandbox amplifies the strengths of one input while reducing the skill ceiling of the other. 3. “Ease of Use” Is Not a Justification for Competitive Advantage A common argument is that controller users need assistance because thumbsticks lack precision. This is true, but the real question is: Should compensating for weaker hardware provide users with a competitive edge? In no established esport is an inferior tool buffed until it becomes stronger than the more precise one. Assistance should make the device functional, not dominant. Apex has crossed that line. Ease of use should not translate into free power. 4. Crossplay Has Increased the Disparity Crossplay was meant to unify the community, but without proper input balancing, it created a lopsided environment: – Keyboard-and-mouse players are forced into close engagements favoring assisted users – Mixed lobbies give controller players higher survivability – Competitive fairness becomes questionable when input, not skill, dictates outcomes Expecting keyboard-and-mouse players to fight against aim-optimized opponents without equivalent tools is unreasonable. 5. Competitive Play Clearly Shows the Disparity Even at the highest level, the advantage is obvious: – A large portion of top fraggers use controllers – Teams deliberately include controller entry fraggers because it is objectively optimal – Keyboard-and-mouse players get pushed into support roles due to their mechanical disadvantage in close-quarters If the top tier consistently exploits aim assistance, it’s not a preference — it’s a structural imbalance. 6. Developer Metrics Ignore Real Gameplay Experience The developers often cite internal data claiming “inputs are balanced,” but this data fails to capture: – The difference in effort required to reach similar stats – The nature of fights (short-range vs long-range) – The advantage in duels rather than long-term averages Raw statistics do not reflect the real experience of losing close fights to automated tracking instead of manual precision. Conclusion: Competitive Fairness Requires Addressing This Issue Aim assistance is not a minor feature; it is a fight-deciding mechanic that erases mechanical depth. Apex Legends cannot claim competitive integrity until the current assistance system is acknowledged as a factor that distorts the meta, reduces skill expression, and alters the competitive landscape. The debate is not about removing controller players — it is about ensuring that one input device does not receive automated benefits the other must earn through skill. True balance means fairness, not favoritism.Nintendo Switch 1&2 Bug crashing
Ive been a huge motion controller player, heavy relied on. Setting coach Gyroscope, Ive notice only way to run it through steam and track Gyroscope as mouse movement. This isnt the problem, its more of on queues - lobby startup. Ive crash before champion picks and have to reload game. This isnt a uncommon problem, but a common problem... like sometime its 4 match in a row. On top of this if I join back fast enough I can continue but sometime ive been banned for (time) queue dodging. (Picture another bug not context to post)
Every single time I think this is the new low...
Worst changes worst season ever in history of apex new olympus is so bad, after wildcare mode 4k's and 20bomb badges lost their meaning completly multiple season solomaster and this ranked season feels unplayable cheater after cheater in BRONZE lobbies! Like THANK GOD!!! I haven't spent a dime in apex or EA games in ages and will not in future either. NO wonder playercount is all time low.
Apex Legends/ban
Hello, I am writing to appeal the ban on my Apex Legends account. My account was compromised by a hacker, and I believe the actions that led to the ban were not done by me. I noticed unusual activity on my account, and I immediately tried to secure it once I realized what happened. Please review the account history and login records — you should see suspicious logins from locations or devices that do not belong to me. I am a fair player and have never used cheats, exploits, or violated the rules. I kindly ask you to investigate this issue and restore access to my account. I can provide any additional information if needed. Thank you for your understanding and help.Two Accounts Banned With No Reason Given - TOS Appeal Pending for Weeks
Hi everyone, I need help with a serious issue. Both of my Apex Legends accounts were permanently banned, but I was never given a reason. The Problem: Account names: DDAVA3 Both banned simultaneously No ban reason shown in ban history No email explanation No notification of what rule was violated What I've Done: Submitted official TOS appeal immediately Status: "Your appeal is being processed - Pending" Waiting for several weeks with zero response Checked all email folders - nothing from EA What I'm Asking For: I'm not even asking for immediate unbanning. I just want: What was the reason for the ban? What rule did I allegedly violate? What evidence led to this decision? Why This Matters: Getting banned is one thing, but getting banned without any explanation and then being ignored for weeks feels completely unfair. Every player deserves to know why their account was banned. The ban history shows nothing. The appeal shows "Pending" with no updates. I have no information at all. Request: Can someone from EA/Respawn please review Case #[225294624] and at least provide the ban reason? I can't even begin to understand or dispute the ban if I don't know what I'm accused of. Has anyone else experienced bans with no reason given? Any advice on getting a response from TOS? Thanks.Will Apex Gabe Cube???
Wanted to see if people know if Apex will run on the new Steam Machine. I saw something that said Apex dropped Linux support and the anticheat might not be compatible with Steam OS. Thinking about getting it and replacing my Xbox. Any community managers know if it will run or if EA plan on Making it compatible?
Request ranked match improvements, especially between Gold and Bronze
I play with friends (this time all of us reached Gold IV), but everyone has a KD below 1. Our movement is not very good either, yet judging from the badges, many of our opponents seem to be former Diamond or Master players, often playing as full squads or duos. As a result, we are frequently eliminated within the first three minutes. When we review the opponents’ movements after losing, it is clear that they are far above our level. In fact, Silver I or Gold IV now feels more difficult than playing in Diamond rank one year ago. When playing solo, the matches often feel like a lottery, where either I am carried by much stronger teammates or the stronger player is eliminated immediately. I strongly hope that once a player has reached a higher tier, they are not allowed to drop back down from Master. Otherwise, lower ranks are simply overrun, which makes the experience extremely harsh. Or is it just that I am too unskilled, and this is only my imagination? Can ranked matches be adjusted so that players feel they are improving, even just a little? For example, by adding more divisions between Bronze and Gold.
I need help. It seems that my account has been attacked.
Hello , I have some issues now. After this period of time, there is no record of any penalties or violations in my ban punishment, but my Apex Lengends account still shows as banned when I log in. However, I haven't logged in or played the game during this period. It seems that my account was hacked and illegally banned. Could you please help me understand the situation? I got in touch with the EA TOS Team, but they neither replied to me nor took any action. I have no idea what's going on. There's no record of my ban at all, but the game keeps telling me that I can't log in. So, what should I do?About not being able to receive email support
Hello everyone， My Apex Legends account was wrongly banned on October 14th. I filed an appeal immediately . At that time, my mind was very confused . I didn't explain the situation clearly . My initial appeal received a response , although the outcome was disappointing . At that time, after finishing my ranked match, I chose to play Quicker matches . Then i want to relax to play my phone. But , I received some bad news; I can't log in . When I restarted APEX, the page showed that my account was banned . And now , I want to attempt to appeal for the second time . The page showed "This issue isn't supported by advisors" . I don't know why . As a player, I have already played for over 1,000 hours . I know, these moments don't mean much compared to others. But after getting into this game, I feel like it will be with me for a long time . That's why this punishment is so hard for me. I am an ordinary player, and cheating makes me feel ashamed. I know the forum cannot lift the ban. But the page is showing this problem, and I don't know what to do. This page can't even proceed to the next step. I hope you can tell me how to proceed to the next step . Thanks for your reading .Low FPS on old system - fixed
Hey. Want to share actually useful info with the community that is running older generation CPUs. After long time in Apex struggling with: unstable FPS - GPU able to push up to 200+ while struggling to maintain stable 144 your typical super low fps during dropship animation random lags and stutters in relation to above stated bad image quality (trading it for performance "somewhat" stability) I came across this video https://youtu.be/RLw31O_9Nqo?si=kWdJUHSqpQL8OrfG regarding process lasso. Disabling cores 0 and 1 on my Ryzen 3600x instantly fixed all fps issues, allowed me to switch off upscaling and increase graphics from 1080p upscaling to 1440p all low to 1440p native + 3GB detail streaming budget + 8x or even 16x texture filtering. No additional issues have risen so far: temps are the same, cooler is working at the same RPM, GPU is doing fine (5700xt) basically no issues. Unfortunately this comes at the time when game itself is unbearable due to hackers but at least now I see them well and without fps drops :)
