“Apex Legends 2.0 = HWID bans + Real Support + Role-Based Ranked” 🔥🔥

📣 Apex Legends 2.0 – What We Need as a Community

Dear Respawn / Apex Legends Dev Team,

As a long-time Apex Legends player, I wanted to share some thoughts and hopes regarding the future of the game — especially what a true “Apex Legends 2.0” could (and should) look like.

🔐 1. A Stronger Anti-Cheat System

Cheaters are killing the Ranked experience. We need: • Hardware-level bans (HWID/IP bans to stop repeat offenders) • Real-time detection and punishment • Severe penalties for boosting, smurfing, and sabotage • Apex deserves an anti-cheat system that works on the server level — like what we see in Valorant or CS2.

⚡ 2. Faster and More Transparent Support

Reporting a cheater right now feels like shouting into the void. • Give us a real-time response system or community moderation tools • Let us upload clips or match replays when submitting a report • Show clear feedback on what actions were taken after a report

🧬 3. Role-Based Ranked System

Not every player plays the same role — why should we all be ranked the same? • Let aggressive players (Wraith, Octane) be judged on damage and kill impact • Let support mains (Lifeline, Newcastle) be judged on team utility and revives • Let recon mains (Bloodhound, Vantage) be judged on info gathering and rotation

By recognizing different roles, we promote teamwork instead of solo damage farming.

🛡 4. Stricter Enforcement, Healthier Competition

Ranked should be a place of fair, intense competition — not frustration. • Enforce tougher penalties for repeat rule breakers • Improve matchmaking to avoid solo players getting matched with full premades • Consider adding regional or seasonal tournaments for top-tier players

⸻

Apex Legends 2.0 doesn’t have to mean a whole new game — it can mean a rebirth of what already makes Apex great: movement, skill, and strategy, combined with fair, honest competition.

We love this game — and with these improvements, it could be the best competitive FPS in the world.

Thank you for listening to your players.

— A concerned and passionate Apex player

    I can only sign below every word written.

    At the same time I understand that for the current Apex player base above said would be hell :D only really honest, truly competitive players would appreciate such game as described and that would be probably <10% of the player base (who most often would not spend even fraction of $ on the game compared to the rest of the player base that come to Apex to have shiny guns, models, tags etc.).

    Honestly only viable solution that I would see is some sort of "separate mode" with such rules (to an extent what Faceit is in CS2) for players who are willing to work on the craft in a legit way, smart way.

    I would even go as far as leaving pubs and other modes totally unattended in terms of hacker/smurf/boosting as imo pubs and other modes are just there for "fun", run and gun, working / testing some skills. But it never was, should be anything really competitive.

    Where attention is needed is streaming/ranked/competitive level = players that will make buzz about the game, create competitive scene, basically invest their lives into making this a carrier for them. In this pool of players hacking/boosting/smurfing basically must be 0 or that should be the goal.

    I hope Respawn will have enough resources to make it happen vs continuing current trend of totally shady hacker banning process, 0 communication basically towards general public (just some marketing slogans that say nothing). As for me such practice discourage to put any money into the game given:
    a) playing environment is not cleaned up
    b) rules are totally unclear / actual practice differ from what's written in rules section
    c) at any point in time you can lose your profile without any appeal / review / feedback...just gone and live with that type of scenario

    In comparison back in the days I chipped in by making donations to keep game servers up, pay for forums, discord servers (alternatives, discord was not a thing back then) etc. because I liked the game, I like the effort of community to upkeep game environment and battle hackers, have clear communication who got warnings / bans and for what.
